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!

Can someone help me? I'm kinda novice at applying themes. I just downloaded this theme and copied the theme contents to windows/resources/themes. When i go to personalize windows and select the maverick theme, the screen displays "please wait" and then goes black. A few seconds later it returns but with no new theme changes and it just reverts back to the default theme. I'm currently running windows 8, what should i do?? Would really appreciate some instructions. Thanks!!!!

The instructions are there in the How to section. Not sure how more explicit than that can be.
3 problems can be the cause:
1. Make sure you properly installed uxstyle, run the setup as admin and restart windows. Don't shut down, but restart!
2. Make sure you copied the files correctly in the right place. Send me a screenshot of the windows /resources /themes folder.
3. As you can see in the description, the theme only works at default dpi /scaling setting.

Have a bug with WinSCP. Can you fix?

And how to get the taskbar like you screenshot?
Thanks for your beautiful themes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope... there's nothing to fix. It's not my fault WinSCP doesn't follow the Windows GUI rulles.
If I "fix" WinSCP, will ruin the other apps.
About the taskbar... please read the how to section:
• OPTIONAL! narrow vertical taskbar: use 7+ Taskbar Tweaker . Right click on the tray icon>advanced settings and set the no_width_limit = 1
