Get my latest Simplify 10 themes: gumroad.com/dpcdpc11 for Windows 10!description
an elegant and minimalistic Pack of Visual Styles for Windows 8.1 that doesn't get in the way of your productivity.
+BONUS: Matching Firefox Style for the dark themes available here .
EXTRA STUFF!!! make sure you checkout the 2 matching PotPlayer skins: Simplify Light for PotPlayer and Simplify Dark for PotPlayer .
IMPORTAT!!!! The themes don't change the icons! I never said they do! If you want to change the system icons you can use iPacks. In the preview I've used this iPack: numix iPack . If you want to change the taskbar icons then please google something like "how to change the taskbar icons in windows".

Hey Cristian, thanks for sending me the link (I also donated a buck for the satisfaction haha)! I'm just wondering if it is possible to customize the color of the bar? I'd like to be able to have the color of the bar match the color of my wallpaper (html color code: #000000 pure black) to make it seem to "merge" with it : P

Hey Dan.. thanks for your support! I really appreciate ur effort.
Unfortunately changing the color of the taskbar is more complicated than just changing a simple color. I would also have to change the buttons on the taskbar as well which is pretty time consuming and right now I don't have the time or the patience to do that.
I would be easier to change the color of your wallpaper... besides, black is not very friendly to the eyes, specially at night.... instead dark grey is just perfect!

Ah, I see. I'm totally fine with that. I'll find a way to manage - Thanks for considering the request though
