Check out Maverick 10 - Windows 10 Theme Pack: gumroad.com/l/tZLHqdescription
Yes... it's here at last! Maverick brings you the Ubuntu look to your Windows 8.1 setup. Finally you can enjoy the orange and dark grey style with this redesigned theme that mixes the best from Ubuntu with flat clean elements giving a beautiful and modern look to your PC.
Check this Screenshot for a detailed view of the theme!

[2014.08.18]
• initial release of the visual style.
• the theme works only using the default windows dpi(96dpi)/scale(100%) level.
• dark text on dark background in the explorer breadcrumbs drop down menu. Unfortunately there's no way to fix this without braking other more important elements in the theme. Thank you Microshit!

I have a problem with the title-captions from non-explorer-windows.
The text has the same color as the unfocused title bar when the window is focused and the title bar has another color. (see in picture)
How can I fix this?

I don't have Windows 8 anymore so I have way to test this but as I remember that is the normal behavior.

But in the screenshots there is the "Computer" in two different colors..?

I'm not sure what your problem is because I can't tell from that screenshot you sent me, but here's a screenshot of the theme in action: Maverick 8.1 SS
That's how it should look like on your end as well. Make sure you're on Windows 8.1 and that you don't use other customizing software that might conflict with the Windows theme.
