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.

[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!

Oh yeah.. I forgot.. It's the dll that I told you to replace that fixes the color.. But but also removes the command bar in explorer.

The theme is great, but how would I change the metrics (fonts) back? Pretty much how would I reset the registry to before it was changed. Thanks!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The fonts are not changed by the metrics in the registry.
And take a closer look in the Windows Metrics folder. Isn't it obviously how you get back to the default settings? Does the file named aero_default_window_metrics.reg ring a bell?

Just installed the dark version, and I really like it. 
1. The Ubuntu font doesn't seem to be working in File Explorer.
2. The scroll-bar buttons are quite pixelated.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
If you installed the font correctly it's impossible not to work.
And I don't see how the scroll bar buttons are pixelated. Send me a screenshot so I can see for myself.

As said below, the metrics file fixed the scrollbar. As for the font, just had to sign out and in again. All works

Ah, wait, never-mind. I'm being a numb-nuts. Metrics file! :-P Hehe!
