Setting up Panasonic Let's Note CF-SZ6 (Recreating Windows 7 on 11) (part 2)

Firefox customization

Right click the toolbar and click menu bar to toggle it on, if you want the top menu bar as well. I really think this adds to the older nostalgic look imo.

So it's better to do this without the theme enabled but this is how I organize my toolbar. You can simply drag and drop to how you want it to look. If you also want the title of the page and Firefox to show, enable it by click 'title bar' in the left bottom corner.

The theme that I thought got closed to the nostalgic without messing with the CSS is the 'Classic Blue' theme. It's available under the Firefox themes.

Extensions I currently use are:

Classic Mode for Wikipedia

uBlock Origin

Okay yea… thats actually it for now, I found a classic YT UI extensions but it doesn't work anymore, so… that's sad.

Other Little Extra's I did:

Custom Icons

I got quite some from this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/windows7/comments/139v9nq/comment/jj45n4p/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3

And devianart for the standard programs: https://www.deviantart.com/cheemster/art/Windows-7-Ultimate-OEM-Icons-115957469

Easiest way to change Icons, is by creating a shortcut on your desktop, going to properties and change the icon option should be there.

For desktop icons like the bin you can follow this official Microsoft tutorial: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/customize-the-desktop-icons-in-windows-c13270f0-3812-c71d-f27e-29aa32588b20

Discord Theme that I found, its like MSN: https://github.com/not-nullptr/Aerochat/releases

Winamp Legacy version! https://winamp.com/

Windows Encarta 2009 - offline dictionary/encyclopedia: https://archive.org/details/microsoftencartapremiumedition2009

My (hopefully) complete application list: Windows Encarta Windows Media Player (Legacy) VLC Discord (MSN theme and discord with old icon for unsupported functionalities) Steam (with old icon) Microsoft Classic Games Collection VSCode (bc I also want to use this pc for coding my HTML Neocities page) GIMP WordPad Winamp Firefox iTunes Winaero, SoundPackager, WindowBlinds11, Start11 I might've bought some physical games as well (a blog post will eventually be made for that one)

I hope you enjoyed reading this two part blog post about customizing windows 11 to look like windows 7. I hope it was helpful for people who are also planning on doing it. If you have any questions you can always ask we, I am happy to help if I know the answer.

Happy windows sevening!
