Description
Supported versions:
- Version 2004
- Version 1909
- Version 1903

Might not work on older versions

This visual style is made to have neutral colors.
The music player in the preview image is AIMP with Ladient 2 ( fav.me/d9bypg0 )

Before you install
- Check if you have the right version of Windows 10 (See www.howtogeek.com/236195/how-t… )
- Make a restore point (!)
- Install Open Sans (included in the download in the 'Font' folder)
- Uninstall any patch if you have already installed one (UxStyle, UltraUXThemePatcher) (!)

How to install
1. Install UltraUXThemePatcher and reboot after install: www.syssel.net/hoefs/software_…

2. Install Old New Explorer (ONE): www.msfn.org/board/topic/17037…
My recommended settings:  i.imgur.com/4e0bpi2.png

3. Copy the content of 'Visual style' to 'C:\Windows\Resources\Themes' (i.imgur.com/z3i2huu.png )

4. Right-click your desktop > 'Personalize' > 'Themes' and click 'Penumbra10(w)(s)' under 'Apply a theme'
The preview image above uses "Penumbra10" (recommended)
See "Variants" section below for information about the different theme files.

5. Set Colors in Setting page to Dark ( i.imgur.com/nNl4DwS.png ). Not doing this might cause some colors to not show correctly.

Something wrong? Try this
- If everything is still white or mostly white, click on the 'Windows' theme, reboot your computer, and repeat step 4.

- Reinstall the latest versions of UltraUXThemePatcher and Old New Explorer (ONE) (links above). Be sure to reboot afterward.

- Check the FAQ section of the UltraUXThemePatcher website (link above) if the steps above did not fix your problem. At this point, the problem is usually because of the required system files not getting patched correctly.

Known problems
- Some remaining white elements, like in the Task manager under Performance

Known fixes
Problem: Hidden disabled text or icons (like in Notepad++)
Fix: www.mediafire.com/file/bhxvgxk…
Note: These altered themes will create minor inconsistencies in the theme.

Problem: The theme will have white elements after returning to the desktop from sleep, hibernating or locking the PC.
Fix:
1. Open up "regedit"
2. Make a backup (right-click > export) of the following key/folder:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\DefaultColors]
3. Now remove the key/folder [DefaultColors] (right-click > delete, may require you to Take Ownership first)
4. Done
Note: Your theme color will restore to default Windows blue after returning to the desktop. This only affects things like the lock screen colors and volume indicator color.

Extra customization

Variants
Penumbra 10 comes with a couple of variants:

- Penumbra10: The theme as it was intended to be used.
If you don't know which variant you should use, pick this one.

- Penumbra10w: The w stands for "White".
This theme is like Penumbra 10, but has a white Windowcolor and black Windowtextcolor.
This is meant for people that want a dark theme, but don't want programs like Microsoft Word and Excel to be affected with a dark page and white text. This theme does create inconsistencies with the rest of the theme.

- Penumbra10s: The s stands for "Stock".
This theme is like Penumbra 10, but with stock/default looking caption buttons (Minimize, maximize, close) and Taskbar button.

- Penumbra10ws: A combination of White and Stock.

Changelog
01/01/2020

- Small and old inconsistencies in the theme fixed
- Set Colors in Setting page to Dark ( i.imgur.com/nNl4DwS.png ). Not doing this might cause some colors to not show correctly.
Some new inconsistencies might be occurring because of the migration to 1903/1909.

- The theme has not changed since it already supported version 1803, Spring Creators Update.
- Install the latest UltraUXThemePatcher and reboot if you're coming from an earlier version of Windows 10.
