This is only a tool for enabling custom themes; no actual visual changes will be made.  Regardless, here is a cool theme for illustration:

## Where to get themes

I recommend [DeviantArt](https://www.deviantart.com/tag/windows11themes) for finding themes. Make sure that the theme you're about to apply is compatible with your Windows version.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### **Q: Where is ThemeTool?**

A: ThemeTool was removed as SecureUxTheme is now configuration-free. If you wish to use a tool for changing themes, please check out [ThemeToolSharp](https://github.com/namazso/ThemeToolSharp/). However, using it is not required anymore, you can simply use Personalization or Themes.

### **Q: Help, SecureUxTheme broke my installation, and it's login looping now**

A: [Help: Login loop after installing SecureUxTheme](https://github.com/namazso/SecureUxTheme/wiki/Help:-Login-loop-after-installing-SecureUxTheme)

### **Q: Help, a theme broke my installation, and it's login looping now**

A: [Help: Login loop after setting a theme](https://github.com/namazso/SecureUxTheme/wiki/Help:-Login-loop-after-setting-a-theme)

### **Q: I have 1909 or later, and the Address bar / Search bar is weird when clicked**

A: Consider using OldNewExplorer which fixes this. Alternatively, see [Issue #6](https://github.com/namazso/SecureUxTheme/issues/6).

### **Q: Can you make themes per-program?**

A: Unfortunately, this is [close to impossible](https://github.com/namazso/SecureUxTheme/issues/9#issuecomment-611897882). However, for Office programs, there is a [plugin](https://github.com/matafokka/ExcelDarkThemeFix) for fixing this.
