I can't find the theme in the control panel. What should I save in the Themes folder?

Open theme package, open theme folder, open taskbar folder top or bottom and move all it's content to Theme folder(4 files and 1 folder). Now open control panel and select theme with color you want

I tried to apply this theme to my Windows 8.1 RTM laptop, which all looked amazing I have to say. But the window controls (_ [] X) were really screwed up, including that there was an image bordering the entire window (on all programs). Any help? (Gyazo Link: gyazo.com/0baaa32f68ad535b968c… )

It looks incredible! I'm happy to see this google design on Windows.
There's few bugs here and there, but overall it's perfect.

Yeah, here are few that I noticed:
When I search in Windows Explorer or load a big folder the standart loading animation appears and it's out of place:
ss.ssmaker.ru/eff79f07.png
In Chrome and I assume some other applications the bottom of window instead of displaying little shadow turns white and transition looks broken then:
ss.ssmaker.ru/24b3b614.jpg
When I select files in BitTorrent (I imagine it is like that in few others programs), the text turns white and selection is also white, so I can't see text of the thing I selected:
ss.ssmaker.ru/d0884e40.png
Also 1 little annoying thing is that the "show desktop" button isn't exactly as big as taskbar, so when I push my mouse to the top left corner I have to actually aim to get it right:
ss.ssmaker.ru/9a4fa845.jpg (that black button isn't all the way to the top)
That's all I found, but I think I saw some other little glitches. If I see any more I'll report
Edit: Same thing as with Chrome appears to happen in Notepad and few more apps: ss.ssmaker.ru/6a25319c.jpg

1 bug can only fixed using full size progress bar I made it smaller to look nicer and as I use big address bar it doesn't help to
2 I need use bottom border or programs like windows photo viewer will have transparent background
3 I will try fix that
4 if it be in top left you cannot access charm bar and that I can t change that. Do others themes have this problem? System tray is smaller than taskbar so no fix for that
Thanks for reporting

Thanks for replying.
1. So is it not fixable? Sad
2. Ok that's not a big deal.
3. Thanks, would be great
4. I meant right top corner, but as I understand it's not possible to fix. I guess I'll get used to that.
Keep up the great work! This theme is amazing

i agree, the Show desktop button is not as big as the taskbar. its like in windows 7 classic xp theme where you also cant click exactly on the edge of the corner.

I messing with msstyles trying to fix that, but don't expect any update until next month because my ISP decided to reduce my internet speed, when I tried publish icon pack it took my 20 min to upload and after that Deviantart give error so I can't upload anything

That's sad.. Did you try using Google DNS (or disabling it if it's enabled)? I'm not sure but that may help.

Hi!
Your theme is really amazing, but could you make a version with blue taskbar with the same color like window borders? It will look like Android Tinted Statusbar from the newest L version
Here you could see my graphical explanation

Great theme! If you want to use some of the official Chrome OS/Chromium assets in your themes, you should check out chromium-assets.appspot.com/ . It's the official Chromium assets appspot page and it might help you a lot.
