Grass7 is a bootleg Windows 7 SP1 edition, which was created by Grass7 Project. 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 HTA program which simply reports the version number. It includes a new default wallpaper, and the regional theme Canada, 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The project was originally made in 2020, where it was featured in a now deleted live stream.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 An archived version from both October 2020 and January 2021 are still available.

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.
