Issue: How to Create a Custom Theme on Windows 10?

I cannot figure out how to create a custom theme on Windows 10. Could you please provide a tutorial?

Solved Answer

Windows 10 Creators Update has been rolled out in the beginning of April, 2017, so it counts more than two months already. Most of the Windows 10 enthusiasts have already installed it and do not bother to comment on its advantages and disadvantages. While there are many complaints related to the installation, Wi-Fi problems, Cortana, slowdowns, and so on, most of the users agree upon the fact that Windows 10 Creators Update “is built to empower the creator in all of us.” Microsoft promised that the new build with provide a handful of features enabling people to customize the design and interface to make it personal.

Personalization section can be found in the Settings app, which can be opened by pressing Windows key + I. Here people can customize background, colors, lock screen, themes, start, and taskbar according to their preference. While it’s not a novelty in Windows 10, Anniversary Update did not have the Personalization section or other features that would allow personalizing the whole theme directly. People had to perform various workarounds via Control Panel, which seemed too difficult and tiresome for many. Those who do not opt for an exclusive Windows 10 theme can select one of the default themes or visit Windows Store and download from it as the supply is more than sufficient. However, if you opt for a theme that no one else would have, then go ahead and create a custom theme right now.

IMPORTANT: you won’t be able to use most of the Personalization features if you haven’t activated Windows 10.
