Now is a good time to reboot your computer.

Please also let me know what you think about the idea, or if you find any problems with the themes.Before proceeding, be aware that this is a Windows 10-only theme.

This theme is the one I am using on a daily basis, and while there are issues with some software, I still find it much much better and easier on my eyes than the default Windows 10 theme, whose colours and the overall darkish look can be tweaked only so much. The theme worked surprisingly well, so I modified it a little bit further and renamed to Windows Standard (Warm). After doing some research, I simply took the colour values from Windows 2000 and injected them into the High Contrast White theme from Windows 10. In fact, this whole idea started with a port of the Windows Standard theme for my personal use.

Those keep the same colour contrast as the originals, and are usually dark, so they may be more suitable to use in dark environments.
