When you look at Jonatica-andl's theme, you will surely be mesmerized. The theme looks great with the Taskbar icons and the Mac-style dock right above it, giving it a sense of elegance.

And you'll love the stylish way the date displays in the center of the screen on top of this theme. And the plus point for Jonatica-andl's Desktop theme is that there is a handy Google search bar.

With a combination of buttons and icons with a white and black theme for windows, cakeOS is an elegant theme that brings a novel experience to Windows 10. It's hard to compare cakeOS with anything else, it has Bright and bold retro colors to stand out. Even the Start button brings a vivid change to it while keeping the same Windows logo color.

You can make other adjustments to the theme like choosing borderless corners, bordered corners or rounded corners for windows, and change the appearance of the buttons when the window is hovering. You can also choose the rounded window corner (macOS style) buttons or the square Windows style button.

3. macOS Sierra

One of the things that users switching from Mac to Windows complained about is the UI design, which is a lot different from what they used to be.

Instead of learning how Windows works, why not bring the macOS UI experience to Windows 10? From the notification center to the Launchpad, the lock screen and the window controls in the upper left corner of the screen instead of the top right corner, macOS Sierra is one of the themes that best recreate the Mac experience on Windows. In terms of imaging, it's pretty perfect although some people are annoyed with redundant options like the Apple Software Update.

You can use this theme on all versions of Windows from Windows XP to Windows 10.

4. GreyEveTheme

One of the best Windows 10 dark themes in recent times, GreyEveTheme makes Windows 10 easier on the eyes with black and gray. For someone who doesn't like the white background in windows like File Explorer and Settings, then this is the perfect theme for you.

One thing to note is that this theme does not have interface or design changes. It is tied to the Windows 10 design.

6. Taiwan Culture Sketches

10. LAB

The LAB's main image change is a black bar that runs across the top of every theme window. It also reduces contrast significantly across the entire system and restores most of the UI.

11. Anthem Two

Like LAB, Anthem Two also adds a black bar to the top of all theme windows. However, it doesn't reduce contrast as much as the LAB, making it a bit easier on the eyes to see.
