So I really wanted to try this. But after I have followed all directions and unzipped the minimal taste, I get the following messages that pop up. I didn't copy them all, but this is the beginning and very end. Am I doing something wrong?
! C:\Users\Meg\Downloads\minimal_taste_8_for_win_8_8_1_by_dpcdpc11-d79fr5r (1).zip: Cannot create folder C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Theme for Windows 8.1

that's because you didn't follow the instructions correctly... dunno if you installed other themes before but you have to copying the content of Theme for Windows 8 or Theme for Windows 8.1 folder in "C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\".
that means you got to have the following structure:
C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\minimal_taste_8-1_smallTB.theme
C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\minimal_taste_8-1_smallTB/minimal_taste_8-1.msstyles
C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\minimal_taste_8-1_smallTB/Shell
and then apply the theme from the Personalize panel.

How do you change the icons like on the window? Like at the top right of the window? Thanks.

What icons do you mean? I'm using the default Windows icons in the preview.

The icons that kind of replaced the "X" button and the minimize button and looks like a circle on the window.

I don't really understand what you mean... please send me a screenshot highlighting the problem. And make sure you use the theme at default windows scale.
