Grass7 (jokingly called Windows 7 Nuclear Edition or Ass7) is a bootleg Windows 7 SP1 edition created by Grass7 Project, released in 2020 and uploaded to the archive on May 15th, 2022. As of 2023, the bootleg has gone under multiple contributors, and is still being developed to this day.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows 7 SP1 ISO which heavily focuses on making many of the UI elements green and giving the OS a brand new look themed after grass and nature, which includes a new default wallpaper and a Canada region theme with the wallpaper hues changed to green.

Almost all of the default themes (excluding the Classic theme) have been made greener, even including some of the default applications.

The project was originally made in 2020, where it was featured in a now deleted live stream. Multiple videos, mostly from young children are still available. The website, grass7.tk, was once available, but was shut down in early 2021. It was also online for a short period of time in 2022. An archived version from both October 2020 and January 2021 are still available.

Changes from Windows 7 SP1

New setup wallpaper and logo
A brand new theme is added
A new boot screen was added, however you must use a special tool in the install root to enable it.
A new application, "Grass7 Version" was added, which is simply an HTA program that reports the version number
Some programs had their branding changed. Windows DVD Maker was changed to Grass7 DVD Maker. This also happened to Windows Media Center and Windows Update

Software

Grass7 Version

Notes

The creator of the latest release of this mod bundled their own VMware graphics driver, which causes issues with newer versions of VMware. To fix this, you must boot into Safe Mode and uninstall the "VMware SVGA 3D" driver under Display adapters.
