Grass7 is a bootleg Windows 7 SP1 edition, which was created by Zinffo. It released in 2020, and was added to the archive on May 15, 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 giving the OS a grassy look, by making everything as bright green and adding as many nature and grassy field wallpapers as possible to the OS, to the point of absurdity. It includes one new program, Grass7 Version, which is just a wrapper for launching a simple HTA program which reports the (hardcoded) version number. It includes a new default wallpaper.
A majority of the OS branding has been made greener, 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The project was originally made in 2020, where it was featured in a now deleted live stream.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 An archived version from both October 2020 and January 2021 are still available.
It comes with pre-packaged VMware drivers, dated around the VMware 11-12 era.
Changes from Windows 7 SP1
Minor changes
- New Winver banner
Changes in pre-desktop procedures
- New setup graphics
- New boot screen, only available when you first boot into the Setup. You need to install it manually however to get it in the actual OS. It gets dropped to the root of the C: drive.
- New OOBE graphics
- New login graphics
Look and feel
- New default theme, and wallpaper. The Windows Classic theme's titlebar gradients have been made green
- All of the regional themes' wallpapers have been made greener, except the United States theme
- New icon set
- New default avatar
- Some programs have had their branding changed. Windows DVD Maker was changed to Grass7 DVD Maker. This has also happened to Windows Media Center and Windows Update.
Software
- Grass7 Version
Notes
Bootleg quirks
- The creator 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 in the Device Manager.
- In the RTM version of Grass7, at the product key entry screen, you are told that it only accepts 32-bit Windows 7 Ultimate keys.
- There are 2 text files that get dropped to the root of the C: drive, one of which is a CREDITS file which documents the author's name and what editions are planned to come out. Apparently, at the time of writing, 3 other editions would've released at the same month Grass7's release took place. The other file is a CHANGELOG file, which documents what edits to the OS were made.
