Are you ready for the eXperience? This theme is a fully remastered port of the Windows XP theme suite for Windows 7,8,10 & 11. All styles that were released for Windows XP have been ported and updated to work almost perfectly but with some improvements.
CHANGELOG
* v3 3-8-2023 UPDATED for Win11 Moments 2 Update
-Skinned Win11 Tabbed frames for watercolor substyle.
-Cropped start buttons to fit 48x48 size limitation.
-Fixed Watercolor taskbar progressbar. (Was using wrong image before this update)
-Fixed taskbar color change mode for all substyles. They should now use the correct color mode.
*****************************
Included Styles:
-Luna Blue
-Silver
-Olive Green
-Royale
-Zune
-Noir
-Embedded
-Windows XP Classic
-Windows XP Luna Beta
-Watercolor (Beta XP)
*****************************
There are 2 Windowblinds files included with this zip; eXperience8 & eXperience11. It is important that to apply the right WBA file to your system for the optimal look. Using windows 10/11 one on 7/8 will cause the taskbar to shrink. So, make sure you use the correct theme supplied for your chosen OS.
• eXperience8: For users that use windows 7 & 8 machines
• eXperience11: For users that use Windows 10 & 11 machines
*The "Win11" substyles are for Windows 11, other ones will not work on it as of Moments 2 Update. These contain cropped start buttons to fit the 48x48 start button size limitation ans there is no way around this. Use retrobar if you want an accurate taskbar. Link to it is down below.

Please post any issues down below and include an image if possible so that it can be fixed. Thanks!

Splendid work! Never found my Windows 10 could be more eye-catching!
Still, I'd like to report some issues (bugs? features?).
.
1.File names in title bar will change its position when cursor is on/off the minimise/maximase/close button after a hidden tool option showed up.
2.Only if I use Control Panel and back to Explorer, the searh box is useable. Otherwise, it shrinks as an unselectable narrow box if I enter Explorer by This PC and etc.
3.This theme doesn't skin the SndVol.exe.
4.Previous Position in address bar is Luna-blue if I click on it. Otherwise, it's white.
5.Maximise an Explorer window and click Previous Position button, I get a long address menu. But after this, if I contract the window and open address menu again, it's still that long and break through the current window.
6.Microsoft 365 gets a transparent title bar. Windows Moblilty Centre gets a transparent background. And in Microsoft Store, my accout button and search bar got covered. Unfortunately, they can't be excluded in Blinds because they are not *.exe programs.
7.All skinned windows have a thin and transparent line at the bottom.
.
I'm not using Windows 10 in English, so I hope these descriptions are accurate.
Looking forward to your next update!
