    @ceo54 I tested out the dark theme part. It works. But I think transparency effect needs to be disabled, otherwise task manager has glitched out white elements.

    Edit: nevermind, transparency also works after a restart.

    Some elements are controlled by the RGB values in registry. I have included two .reg files to theme those parts properly. Everything works okay on my end with transparency enabled. Not sure what could be wrong on your side.

    The bar for typing also doesn't appear, just asking, is that the way it is or is mine wrong?

    @ceo54
    Question: Do you develop this Dark Theme?
    If so, how to uninstall it...
    TIA

    Just change the theme from Control Panel / Settings app and delete the theme files from Windir\Resources\Themes

    What is the windows defaults for the "fsutil" command that windows 10 uses? I'm asking about the commands in the NTFS.cmd

    The six options:
    Code:
    :: 1. Disable Last Access Timestamp
:: Reduces disk writes whenever a file is read.
fsutil behavior set disablelastaccess 1

:: 2. Disable 8dot3 Name Creation
:: Stops the creation of legacy short-names (e.g., FILENA~1.TXT).
fsutil behavior set disable8dot3 1

:: 3. Enable Delete Notify (TRIM)
:: Ensure this is set to 0. It is vital for SSD health.
fsutil behavior set disabledeletenotify 0

:: 4. Disable Paging File Encryption
:: Removes the CPU overhead of encrypting the swap file.
fsutil behavior set encryptpagingfile 0

:: 5. Disable NTFS Compression
:: Prevents the kernel from loading compression routines.
fsutil behavior set disablecompression 1

:: 6. Disable NTFS Encryption (EFS)
:: Disables the Encrypting File System overhead.
fsutil behavior set disableencryption 1
