Good question for Mr. Pinto, Steve. But I believe it relies on the Classic
theme for more than color. I believe it allows the scripts to accurately
predict X-Y positions of screen objects.

Ok, so CT relies on the Classic theme, but what specifically is it relying on?
Is it just colour? Jaws is hopeless at determining colour in my experience, as
it's very flakey to say the least. HSC uses another DLL for colour recognision,
so just wondering what the sticking point is. Best Steve.

Hi,
If anyone finds a way to fabricate the Windows Classic theme in versions of
Windows later than Windows7, please let us know. That is, if you can fabricate
the Windows Classic theme and make it so that CakeTalking works as it should.
As far as I know, David Pinto tried and failed to create a Windows Classic
Theme that would work with CakeTalking under Windows8 and later as it does with
Windows7 and earlier.
Here's an entry we need to add to our CakeTalking FAQ page:
Will CakeTalking Work when Installed under Windows8 and 10?
Regretfully, CakeTalking will not run under Windows 10, Windows8. or 8.1.
If you want to upgrade to any of those versions of Windows from Windows7 or
earlier, our recommendation would be to set up some kind of dual boot so that
you would have the option to startup into Windows7 to use SONAR with
CakeTalking or into the newer version of Windows.
Microsoft dropped support for their Windows Classic theme with release of
Windows8. Since CakeTalking relies on that theme to know the position of
certain objects on the screen, major functions of CakeTalking fail under
Windows8 and 10.

As an alternative, you can read following topic;

The Windows Classic theme doesn't exist in Windows 10. The only
option is to copy it from a Windows 7 install. However, keep in mind
that even if you can do that and get it working then you may well be
compramising other features in Windows 10.
