I like the look of Windows XP, and Windows 7, and like the round corners of the windows of the apps. Windows 10 seems to take a step to remove them and make it 90 degree corners.
Are there ways to bring back the round corners on Windows 10?

2In short no, Microsoft decides what they look like. – Moab Aug 02 '15 at 03:17

1I guess it is more like saying Microsoft doesn't provide a way to customize the look, and currently there may be no 3rd party tool to do that either – nonopolarity Aug 14 '15 at 12:42

Full Windows customization pretty much ended after Windows XP. – Moab Aug 14 '15 at 15:49

The answer would be using the "hidden" aero-lite theme.
Quoting from Sergey Tkachenko at the link provided:
Similar to Windows 8, the brand new Windows 10 comes with a secret hidden Aero Lite theme, which can be enabled with just a simple text file. It changes the appearance of windows, the taskbar and also the new Start menu.

Here is a (not very informative) discussion about the removal on answers.microsoft.com.

1theme was indeed applied, but windows are still completely rectangular. Too bad.. the rounded windows were a nice touch. Maybe MS will bring them back. – Randy Dec 21 '19 at 01:48

If you have a bit of a budget then there is Windowblinds for custom themes. However programs that don't have a standard title bar like Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome can be a bit tricky to get working with it. If all your programs have standard title bars then it is compatible with Windows 10.
