Windows 11 is chock-full of customizable options which, if the user has a particular
visual element in mind, can be made to look like just about any other OS out there.
Here are the steps you need to follow to make Windows 11 look like Ubuntu.

1. Ultra UX Theme Patcher​

Firstly, download the Ultra UX Theme Patcher.


Once the download finishes, move on to the next file to download.

2. KOZ-Theme​


This is the Ubuntu theme that will make Windows 11 look like Ubuntu, or at least most of its constituents. Download the KOZ-Theme here.
Code:
https://www.deviantart.com/niivu
You will require a DeviantArt account to download this theme so make sure you sign up and log in if you haven’t done so.
Scroll down and click on the Download icon under the screenshots.

This will download the theme as a zip file.

3. 7TSP Icon Patcher​

This is required to Medicines the icons that are found within the KOZ-Theme above. Download the 7TSP Icon Patcher
You should be able to find it here

h**ps://www.deviantart.com/devillnside/art/7TSP-GUI-2019-Edition-804769422

Again, click on the Download icon under the screenshots.

Q68yO5.jpeg


The file will be downloaded as a zip file.

4. Old New Explorer​


This is required to modify the Explorer’s functions to make them look like that of Windows 7
and then the theme will further Medicines the Explorer to look like Ubuntu. Download the OldNewExplorer here,
or DeviantArt

Next, we’re going to install the UltraUXThemePatcher. Simply double-clicking it may not work and Windows will throw up a
“Windows protected your PC” message and won’t allow you to run it.

Q6f7NU.jpeg


To bypass this, right-click the setup file and click Properties.

Q6fxPn.jpeg


Under the “General” tab, next to “Security” at the bottom, you will see the Unblock option.
Make sure there’s a check next to it. Then click OK.

Q6fzhq.jpeg


Now you can double-click the executable to run the setup.
Go through the on-screen prompts and install UltraUXThemePatcher.

Unzip ‘Ko-Z’ zip and Apply Theme​


Now go to the folder location where the ‘Ko-Z’ zip, or wjichever Ubuntu theme pack you prefered,
file was downloaded. Then unzip it using a file archiver. There is a few Zip/Rar utilities here.




Once the files are extracted, double-click on the ‘ko-Z’ folder.

Q6fOmr.jpeg


Then double-click on the ‘Windows 10 Themes’ folder.

Q6fgSj.jpeg


Copy all the files in this folder. An easy shortcut is to press Ctrl + A to select all, and then press Ctrl + C to copy the files.

Q6fozo.jpeg



Now navigate to the following address:
C:\Windows\Resources\Themes
Paste the files here (press Ctrl + V). You’ll be asked to provide admission permissions. Check on the box “Do this for all current items”, then click Continue.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-14.png

Once the files are pasted, press Win + I to open Settings and click on Personalization in the left pane.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-15.png

On the right, scroll down and click on Themes.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-16.png

Here, you will see a bunch of themes. But the ones we have copied won’t have a preview. Select the last theme without a preview (this is the main ‘Ko-Z’ theme).
win-11-ubuntu-theme-17.png

Once the theme is applied, make sure that it says ‘Ko-Z’ next to “Custome theme”.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-18.png

Step 4: Unzip ‘7tsp GUI’ zip and apply Icons​

The icon pack is available in the same ‘Ko-Z’ theme folder that we extracted in the previous step. But we have to make a slight change to make sure it is recognized. So go back to the ‘Ko-Z’ folder and double-click on the ‘Icon Packs’ folder.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-19.png

Then go into the ‘7TSP 1903 builds or newer’ folder.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-20.png

Now right click on the ‘7TSP’ file and click on the rename icon.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-21.png

Delete the ‘.remove’ at the end of it and hit Enter. When prompted, click on Yes.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-22.png

This will turn this into an archive. There’s no need to unzip this file and we will come back to it later. Instead, unzip the previously downloaded ‘7tsp gui’ zip file (use either a file archiver app or right-click on the file and select ‘Extract all’ as shown previously).
win-11-ubuntu-theme-23.png

Once extracted, right-click on the ‘7tsp GUI’ file and click on rename.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-24.png

Change the ‘ee’ at the end to ‘exe’, then hit Enter. When asked to confirm, click Yes.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-25.png

Now run this executable file.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-26.png

Click on Yes.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-27.png

This will open the ‘Se7en Theme Source Patcher’. Click on Add a Custom Pack.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-28.png

Now navigate to the ‘7tsp’ zip file that we renamed earlier in the ‘Icon Packs’ folder, select it, and click on Open.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-29.png

Click on Start Patching.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-30.png

Then click Yes.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-31.png

You will have to wait quite a while for the process to finish. Once complete, you’ll be asked to reboot your system. Click Yes.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-032.png

Step 5: Change Registry files to get Folder icons​

After the restart, you will see the changes applied to most icons. However, the folder icons would remain the same. That’s because this particular icon pack doesn’t change the thumbnail folder view. To change this, we have to execute a registry fix.

There’s already a file that can do this for you in the ‘Icon packs’ folder within the ‘Ko-Z’ folder that we unzipped earlier. Navigate to it and then double-click on disable_folder_thumbs.reg file.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-32.png

Click on Run.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-33.png

Click Yes.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-34.png

Click OK.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-35.png

Step 6: Refresh Icons with 7tsp GUI​

Run the 7tsp GUI again.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-36.png

Click on Restore.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-37.png

With “Restore modified system files to before 7tsp was used” selected (first option), click on Refresh Icons.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-38.png

Click on Yes.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-39.png

Step 7: Apply Wallpaper​

The wallpapers are available in the ‘Wallpaper MODS’ folder inside the ‘Ko-Z’ folder.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-40.png

Choose a wallpaper, right-click on it and select Set as desktop background.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-41.png

Step 8: Unzip OldNewExplorer​

Lastly, we are left with unzipping and applying the old Explorer that we downloaded earlier. Right-click on the OldNewExplorer.zip and select Extract all.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-42.png

Then click Extract.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-43.png

Once the files are extracted, run ‘OldNewExplorerCfg.exe’.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-44.png

In the OldNewExplorer configuration window, select the following three options under ‘Appearance’:​
  • Hide caption text in File Explorer windows.​
  • Hide caption icon in File Explorer windows.​
  • Hide Up (go to parent folder) button.​
Then click on Install.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-45.png

Your Ubuntu theme is now complete.
win-11-ubuntu-theme-46.png

We hope you were able to get the Ubuntu theme on Windows 11 with the help of the guide above.

Thanks a lot for this clear and most valuable tutorial.

If not interested in the Ubuntu look and feel would you know of any colorful theme and icons in the spirit of these



I understand it just takes to become VIP to get these but if one wants only the theme and icons to add to an already Windows install this is where you can help!

Cheers
