[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!

Dude... Don't offer a downloadable zip, only for it to be a html file asking you to pay. That's pretty much deliberately decieving people...

please read the description to see that I'm not deceiving anyone.
in order to submit a theme here I have to attach a file, that's why I've attached the zip.
I've sent the theme to anyone asking for it... even to you. Enjoy!

...Yeah, thanks dude
Some people just go straight to the download button without reading the description, and the reason I thought it was a bit deceptive is because it's in a zip file... meaning loads of people will download/extract it thinking it's the theme... IMO it would be less deceptive if just a HTML file was uploaded.
But yeah, it doesn't really matter that much

ur welcome!
I know... but unfortunately I can't upload html files in the Visual Style section. So it's the best I could do. I even named the zip Maverick_8_1_by_dpcdpc11_readme.zip but deviant art renames it on download.

I discovered this visual style after looking at your Simplify8 theme.
I'm quite intrigued by this linux-like style and I'd like to test it.
Thanks in advance for the link.

I might be stupid but is there an easy way to change system fonts?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
system fonts are controlled in the theme... you can edit the msstyle file using Windows Style Builder if you want... but it's not an easy job!
