Windows eXPerience - Freestyle Update
Your way in Re-EXPERIENCING the Best of the Digital Age!

Windows eXPerience is a mod that tries and replicates Windows XP's look and feel on Windows 10 LTSC 2019. The idea of the project were conceived during New Years 2022 and several attempts in making the mod have failed. The project was picked up again on January 29th, 2023 with promising development and progress. Preliminary Release were released on January 31st, 2023 with the last update for the mod (being Freestyle Update) on February 11, 2023.

This update is rather more a smaller update compare to Lonestar. Alot of icons related to MMC and system icons were changed, bringing in a more consistent feeling to the OS. The inclusion of Embedded and Zune themes are here, completing the theme collection along with Silver, Olive Green, Royale, and Royale Noir. And general minor details to make the mod more faithful to Windows XP.

Coming Soon

A joint project between I and another person is on the works, it's a second release of an extras pack for the mod. It will feature 3 new themes that are automated in the same vain as the rest. Watercolor, Slate, and Plex (M6 to be specific) will be included. Wallpapers made for the mod will also be included. There is no ETA for this project, so as of now, you can download Release 1 at https://archive.org/details/windows-experience-extras-rel-1

I can obviously tell which icons are custom made. Why not color match them to the XP icons?

id say its pretty good judging from the pictured.
Gotta try it first tho

I played around with it, and I LOVE it. This is the BEST modded Windows 10 ISO ever, aside from the oddities and the issues it has. I never seen such a perfect thing like this. I rate it 10/10.

I forgot this was here. Travis hates me now so curious what would happen if he remembers this post is here.

Well ... you do have to do what is best for you and the forum overall, so if that means you must delete the thread, I think we'd all understand, but I am sorry to hear that.

I'll leave it for now.

I don't remember doing anything, I think enemies of me got to him.

Its hard when people do things behind your back, and for this reason, I never allow people to get very close to me anymore, I have a huge wall that never comes down now and I don't give out trust as easily as I once did when I was younger.

It baffles me that drama manages to exist in every corner of the internet, lol. Did you do something particularly egregious to create said "enemies" or are they just gatekeeping/circlejerking pricks that take issue with things not being done their way?

To make it as simple as possible, someone I trusted and found the site with made a lot of the community angry, and even though they've been ejected for a long while, people can still hate me because I was associated with them.

Even better, indirect drama
