Can Windows 10 themes still be used when you are using Windows 11?

how to apply windows 10 theme to 11

INTRODUCTION

Hello visitors, it seems I have not written on this blog for a long time. Oh yes, you must know or have used a theme on your OS, and surely you are wondering “Can this theme still be applied to the highest OS version, especially Win11?”

The answer is, of course you can. So, last night I did an experiment using the “Arknights” and “Golden Marriage” themes made by ~Theia and it still worked.

How’s Apply

The way to apply this theme is actually the same, but this time don’t apply it through the default Windows settings, because later the image won’t appear/fails. Apply via the Themes folder, by going to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes then searching for “Arknight Windows 10 Theme.theme, then double-clicking and waiting a moment.

Why when applying, not through Windows settings?

Actually, it is possible, but the theme will not be applicable because it is a different base.

Cons

Context menu on file explorer or desktop does not appear (classics context menu), because it is not compatible with os w11. So you can use the context menu on the latest version of the OS.

How to Settings?

Set on startallback like this.

Patch for Themes

For the patch to stay the same, don’t forget to create a restore point, that’s the most important.

---

Is applying this theme highly recommended?

Not really, as it’s a different operating system. However, if you want to use it, please do so at your own risk (it’s recommended to find a theme that’s compatible with this operating system).
