What's New?
- Inactive Caption Text now uses the correct color for the corresponding.
- Caption Icon now shows their proper 16x16 icon, instead of a 32x32 icon downscaled.
- Command Prompt & PowerShell windows uses Classic Theme.
- Start Buttons no longer have fade transition and are accurate to Windows XP.
- Mozilla Firefox is now upgraded to 113 now featuring a Internet Explorer 6 styled about box. (Mozilla Firefox updates are disabled.)
- Many visual style changes all across the board for a more accurate feeling to Windows XP.
- ClearType now applies to the taskbar and other elements.
- ClassicLogonShell is now uninstalled by default, as it did more harm than good.
- More Icon & Dialog changes, for an even more accurate experience.
- Windows XP sounds should be the default Sound Scheme.
- Logging Off/On sounds should be present.
- Desktop Icons now uses Classic Theme selectors.
- 32-bit programs still show a 32x32 icon downscaled on the caption.
- Some online games with an anti-cheat may not work with the mod.
- Changing from Luna to any other theme may cause the screen to be black and kick the user out of the desktop. Go through the process of changing themes and it will apply. This also fixes broken WindowMetrics from the aftermath.
- The program that is used to force the Basic (Non-DWM) Window Borders is broken when installing this mod with any language but en-US.
- The Appearance tab on Display Properties crashes the applet, use "Change Luna Theme" on the Control Panel to change themes.
- Some programs may show the wrong Caption Text color, this both applies to Inactive and Active windows.
- Dialogs, Strings, and Menus will be unmodified if you use any language other than en-US.
- Any DPI above 100% will be broken. This mod is incompatible with ANY type of DPI scaling.
- File Explorer's toolbars may look messed up, this will be more prone to shown when the File Explorer window is maximized by default.
- Tray area of the taskbar will be broken when showing all tray icons.
- Volume system tray may not change the volume. This depends on your sound configuration and the Sound Devices.
- Some of the menus on File Explorer will not work (ex. "Favorites", "Help"). These are only here for the sake of accuracy.
- On-Screen Keyboard will show a QWERTY + CJK layout.
- Internet & E-mail may look wrong on Royale, Royale Noir, Zune, and Embedded.
- All themes other than Luna have incorrect DWM Window Frames. This will be noticable when a program is not responsing, running a program as SYSTEM or TrustedInstaller, and the small delay forcing the Non-DWM (Basic) Window Frames.
- Windows Messenger does not work. This is due to Microsoft shutting down the servers. If you feel so in using it, look for trusted services that hosts servers for MSN/Windows Live Messenger. I personally recommend in using Escargot (https://escargot.chat/). Though be cautious on using these outdated services, even if they're secure.
