This is just the visual aesthetics of Material Design correct? It does not seem to follow the actual layout guidelines of the Material Design doc (especially for the titlebar buttons and also the toolbars and buttons in explorer)

Best theme for Windows 8.1
Using your icon pack makes this even better. Thanks!

Applies a really ugly two-tone green window border. If I log in and out, the window color becomes black until I reapply a new theme color, which then makes it turn green again, regardless of which color I apply. Here is a picture:

I've tried reapplying UXstyle and such as well, but I can't seem to get it to work.
This is such a nice-looking theme, I'd love to be able to use it!!

Is it possible to change the blue rectangle which appears when you select a folder in the path you are in? It is really ugly with all colors except for the cyan one.

I tried it on Windows Technical Preview (aka Windows 10), knowing that it'd very likely not work. Worked somehow, except the Start Menu was broken (didn't display at all) and the Glass effect on Aero Windows (obviously, it's not the same DLLs as W8/8.1) and when I restarted, it also BSoDed every time.
You should consider adding a restore point feature to the installer. Thank God I had installed the iconpack before that.
Anyway, looks gorgeous. Hope you plan on optimizing it for Threshold (because it actually works there in the first place) and you can fix the BSoD anytime soon. Love your work, looks really great, and I'd be interested in using it, if only the theme installer didn't break my system.

Hi Can I install this on Windows 7?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have followed all the instructions and moved the contents of the Top Taskbar folder into windows\resources\themes. However, when I click any of the specified colors when in the Personalization screen, all it does is change the top bar to a lime green color. It doesn't matter which theme I apply that's all that happens. Any suggestions?
And thanks for all your work!

How to apply the theme?
I've copied the Material folder into the Themes folder, but nothing new appears in the Personalisation dialog!

Open Material folder folder. Open theme folder then taskbar (top or bottom) and move all it content to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes

I definitely update it to windows 10 but only then it have consumer version. What is everything? If it's windows borders when apply again wiaero glass

I had the same issue of displaying in green, when I switched from Numix (another custom theme) to Material. You just need to uninstall/unpatch UxStyles and reinstall it, then it should work properly.

You not moved theme to Resources\Themes folder. Open theme folder then taskbar (top or bottom) and move all it content to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes

Theme looks great

Apply default theme and then Material. If that doesn't work apply default theme again and repatch uxstyle and apply theme. Can you provide some screenshots of the problem?

I must be doing something wrong, because after I move the theme to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes and I apply via the control panel then nothing happens. It changes the color and the wallpaper but nothing else. Any help?

It is not working, I have a 1920x1080 monitor and Windows 8.1 pro X64, is there any problem with ti? If not what can be wrong, I've followed each step, and it is not working 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Your monitor resolution isn't the problem, problem can be your dpi, if your dpi high some elements (checkboxes, radio buttons) will look different than in screenshot, because they are not themed for higher res, but you still can install it. Patch your system with UxStyle. Extract content and open theme folder. There you see Theme folder. Then you open it select taskbar top or bottom. Move folder content (4 files and 1 folder) to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes. I hope it helps
