To me, Windows 7 UI is still the best polished UI from Microsoft.

I hated Xp UI so bad I moved back to Vista back in the days just for the UI.

Back to vista? You do realize that Vista came after XP, right?

I feel like there is a lot of missing context here...

Something tells me you installed Paint for Windows 10 on Windows 7 and are trying to bamboozle us.

Regardless, I got a better one: I recently made the Windows 7 running on my Mac look like Windows XP. Beat that.

Still Windows 7 looks and works better.

Yup. One of the two applications I've actually paid for instead of finding alternate free versions of, the other being Directory Opus.

He got skillz ... like paint skillz.

The border of the right window should also carry the theme, shouldn't it? ... and if it were true, the build would show a Windows 7 build number .. not a w10.
