Requirements:
- Hello Kitty wallpaper
- UltraUXThemePatcher
- Take Ownership Registry Hack
- 7TSP GUI
- Cake OS 2.0 theme
Apply Add Take Ownership to Context Menu.reg
by double clicking it.
Navigate to C:\Windows\System32
and take ownership of the following files themeui.dll
and uxinit.dll
. To do that, right click on the file and select Take Ownership
. If Take Ownership
is not available, restart your computer and try again. If it still not available, it means that the registry hack was not applied correctly. This step is necessary in order to let UltraUXThemePatcher replace the files.
Install UltraUXThemePatcher. During the installation, select the option to patch the files themeui.dll
and uxinit.dll
. Verify that the files themeui.dll
and uxinit.dll
are patched as shown in the image below:
To complete the installation, restart your computer.
Run UltraUXThemePatcher again and verify that the files are patched
. If they are not patched, try to patch them again. If they are already patched, you can close the program. The following image shows the successful patched status of the files:
Move the contents the cakeOS 2.0 theme to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes
. The folder cakeOS
should be in the same directory as Aero
. The files needed to be moved are shown in the image below:
When the files are moved, the folder C:\Windows\Resources\Themes
should look like this:
Double click on the file cakeOS - Day.theme
to apply the theme. As a result, windows will change to the cakeOS theme, and the window title bars will look like the image below:
Run 7tsp GUI v0.6(2019).exe
as administrator. Click on Add a Custom Pack
and select the file 7tsp Cake OS Red
and click on Start Patching
.
Patching may take a few minutes. Once the patching is complete, restart your computer.
Finally apply the wallpaper ๐
To make file explorer minimalistic, I use the following tweaks:
- Remove Home from navigation pane in File Explorer
- Remove Gallery from navigation pane in File Explorer for all users
- Hide OneDrive From File Explorer
To apply these tweaks, run the registry files Remove Home from navigation pane in File Explorer.reg
, Remove Gallery from navigation pane in File Explorer for all users.reg
and Hide OneDrive From File Explorer.reg
and merge them. Restart your computer to apply the changes.
I also like to use the following Google Chrome theme, since it looks cute and matches the theme of the desktop. You can install it from the following link:
