• 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!

It doesn't work in windows 10. It's made for windows 8.1 just like the title says. So I'm not sending you the link cause I don't want to be responsible for breaking your shinny new Windows.

Great Work man! 
Everything works fine, but I have one question to you.
When I perform a right click in Mozilla Firefox it's kinda messed up with grey and white. Any way to fix it?
Other than that, the best theme for Win 8.1 imo. :3

If you read closer the What you get section you'll find this:
menu text color fix for Firefox and Thunderbird: available here

I tried it before, but sadly it doesn't work.
If it helps, I use version 39.0

Sorry but I'm unfamiliar with the latest Firefox styling and dunno how to fix it.

Yeah that's what I meant
It's okay,not a big problem, just noticed it and wanted to let you know about it.
Thanks for replying, have a nice day and a big thanks for this awesome theme

You're very welcome! The problem with Mozilla devs is that they don't use the windows UI elements properly and themes, specially dark ones, always look weird. It's even worse in Thunderbird.
Btw how come you're using Firefox over chrome?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Never tried Google Chrome really 
But I found a "fix" for it :3 Just installed the FT DeepDark 12.1.0 Theme, which is also dark and fits perfectly to the theme.

I used to be a FF user but since I'm using a pretty powerful PC Chrome works best since it uses the CPU cores better than Firefox. So basically Firefox is much slower for me.
Anyway thanks for sharing the "fix"! It looks really nice!
