The stability of the program is notably poor, with users reporting frequent bugs, visual glitches, and issues with reinstallation. Many have experienced problems with the application overriding exclusions and failing to restore default settings without a system restart. Overall, the consensus is that the software is not reliable and does not justify its cost.
“This program is kind of buggy. For starters, when going back to the default theme, my search bar on the taskbar didn't have the 'type here to search' until restarting my laptop. While it's fun for the first 5 minutes, it kind of loses its charm. I tried to give it another chance by reinstalling it afterwards, and it didn't even install at all.”
“Tl;dr, kind of buggy, can't reinstall, not worth the price.”
“Only downsides so far are the fact that the themes don't completely change the UI of Windows 11 to look like Windows 7, and to be honest, they are kind of buggy.”

Users express strong dissatisfaction with the graphical user interface (UI) changes in Windows, particularly since the release of Windows 8, criticizing the aesthetics as continually declining. There is a desire for a more visually appealing operating system, with some users feeling that alternatives like Linux are not yet viable options.
“I have loathed every single UI change Windows has released since Vista, and their aesthetics continually get worse (sounds impossible, but Microsoft finds a way).”
“It's a shame, really, because Microsoft basically went to hell aesthetic-wise starting with Windows 8, and I just want to have a pretty looking OS.”
