Hey ben,
I used Advanced option with some modification as I wanted to keep some of the components like windows search, paint etc. But when I install my OS Aero theme was not working infact none of the themes were working. I even tried to patch theme files and tried to apply some third party themes but I am unable to apply any theme. Can you please tell how to enable theme?
I am again trying to use advanced option this time I have enable themes lets see how it goes.

Don't forget to set : TWEAKS -> System -> UXTheme patch = Enable
Don't forget to set : Services -> Themes -> Automatic

This one should be set as well : Services -> Desktop Window Manager Session Manager -> Automatic

Previews only show when using an Aero theme; it looks like you are using a Basic theme.

I am having one more problem in my trimmed OS. Apart from Aero theme my OS is not able to connect to my wifi router. I tried each and everything but problem still persists. When I see wireless Netowork connection status I see 412gbps in speed but there is not connection to my wifi router.

I suppose some service is disabled, I don't know which one.

@ nice_guy75

Mate, you'd be better off using "Tweaked Settings" instead of "Advanced" as tracing back the lot would end up using different settings than in "Advanced" mode anyway.

Make sure you've got the following enabled as far Themes, Aero Peak and ClearType are concerned.

Thanks for your reply brother but I am using advanced option as I wish to keep my OS size as small as I can. But at the same time I also wish to keep some components like paint, wordpad, windows Media Player, Windows Photo Viewer, Windows disk image burner, etc. I managed to trim my OS to 935 mb but Aero theme and wifi problem still not solved. If you can share your lastsession.ini with me that would be great.

I know what you mean mate but one has to do loads of tests to find out more about dependencies ......

Anyway, here's my last settings file to date ...

1.7 GB.

When it comes to reducing the operating system, I think it is useful to specify that 32 or 64bit. A sysop 64bit can not be reduced as a 32bit. Unless you remove the framework , will be very difficult to go below 1.2-1.4GB for a 64bit without losing important features that should inevitably reinstalled. Maybe you can increase the size of the winsxs folder and the folder driverstore. In my case I have managed to bring a sysop 64bit less than 4gb installed . I like to reduce it more, but for now (well in the future) I doubt that there may be further large reductions.

That is too much, I have already trimmed my OS to 1.4 gb with most of my required components. I wish to go below 1gb mark. I guess you must be talking about 64bit and I am talking about 32bit.

I'm waiting too for the new fix to start testing for the first time this app. Looks promising.

[grabben]

Sorry if i missed this but when is 1.8 released ? :)Thinking bout testing 1.7 but if 1.8 is in near future of few days i can wait.


Edit: ok i test it anyway

Some minor issues though i noticed.

Integration tab: the top (language, drivers etc) the top is missing.

custom tab: gadgets, cannot remove any (seems so, they dont dissapear from list), preview's are "laggy"
and moving mouse down to the other (example) themes makes other dissapear..

Thanks for the answer.yea ofcourse there are many minor issues.Just so we're on the same "side" ive attached a picture of what i mean.

Edit2: modifying process, iso creation and install in virtualbox works fine but after setup i get this:

"Windows could not configure one or more system components. To install
Windows, please restart the installation.
