Notes

Bootleg quirks

  • In Setup, many special symbols do not render correctly and check boxes look rather strange.
  • Most of these themes don't have wallpapers, so if you see the default wallpaper it's not from the theme itself.
  • Nearly all of the tiles have been removed from the Start screen.
  • Firefox's update channel is set to beta.
  • The Command Prompt's foreground color has been made red.

CD contents and other info

  • The CD has its own icon.
