Grass7 (jokingly called "Windows 7 Nuclear Edition", or "Ass7") is a bootleg Windows edition created by Grass7 Project, released in 2020 and uploaded to the archive on 15 May 2022.

Description

The OS includes a new wallpaper, and a refreshed Canada theme, which changes the hue of the wallpapers. Interestingly enough, Canada is the only region theme on the system.

Massive changes to the Aero Basic theme were made, such as the taskbar, start menu and some UI elements being turned green, to comply with the nature style of this mod. The Aero theme reflects this change as well. The Classic theme does not include many changes, however.

This project's origins are from 2020, where it was featured in a now deleted live stream. Multiple videos, mostly from 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 An archived version from both October 2020 and January 2021 are still available. [1]

Unfortunately, the only version available is the "RTM build", which was released on 24 May 2021.

Changes from Windows 7

  • Massive changes to the themes were made.
  • 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. Windows DVD Maker was changed to Grass7 DVD Maker. This happens with Windows Media Center and Windows Update.

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.

Software

  • Grass7 Version
