This looks really amazing, want to use this theme too. But I have 2 questions:
1) Will this work with my "normal" Windows 8? (Don't really know what RTM ONYL means)
2) Do I need to install both programs mentioned in the instructions under 1), or is the first one enough?
thanks & have a nice day.

Instructions for windows 8.1 customization:Β www.neowin.net/forum/topic/121β¦
If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to post them there ^^
And ignore the rtm, that was meant back in the day for people who used windows 8 preview versions(CP etc)

thanks for your reply.Β
i'm still using windows 8 pro, win 8.1.
the link you've provided helped me a lot. i think i will go for the uxtheme.
from the screenshot, your theme look really clean, lean and elegant. can't wait to give Β it a try.
thanks for your fantastic work

I like this theme very much. But it won't work well on win8.1. I'm looking forward to a new apdate version

There are 2 types of bugs both can be fixed,
-startmenu/jumplist bug: use startisback(gives you windows 7 menu though)
-Windows title bug: change colorization color to white or use aero glass 8.

Report: Not compatible perfectly in windows 8.1, there also some different about the display effects between 8 and 8.1 when apply this theme.

This theme is indeed for windows 8 only, windows 8.1 hasn;t bene officially released so I won't be making themes for it yet

Hey friend! I know it's been a while since you worked on this theme but i hope you can find some time to make it for 8.1.

Should work on Windows 8.1 when using latest uxstyle.com patch
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks for the info mate. it's working actually but just have few glitches on the control panel and theright click menu of pinned item on the taskbar. I'll try uxstyle as i'm using ultrayxthemepatcher and see if it's different

Nope issues are with all windows 8.0 themes that are used on windows 8.1 :/

Expecting~~
I've use this theme for over half a year, since the second day i patched the theme.
I'm looking forward to the update~

This is just beautiful.
The Windows 8 Design team should learn from you.

can you make "File" button just like in office 2013?
π: 0 β©: 1
btw.. is it possible? maybe I could make this.
π: 0 β©: 1
It's impossible, you can only hex edit the colors but can't change it like images because they aren't images in a dll or such :/
π: 0 β©: 1
so what is it? what is the basic source of ribbon button and fonts? U know that?
π: 0 β©: 1
Some kind of code conpatable to htm with hex colors only then a bit more complex and encoded making it somewhat impossible to edit:/
π: 0 β©: 0
Something like that for XP would be very nice.

I would like to add more shadow. Which file in IMAGE I should edit in .msstyle?
π: 0 β©: 1
start by using windowsstylebuilder instead of a reshacker...
π: 0 β©: 0
Would it be possible to add the "mouse over" colors to the minimize / maximize / close window buttons, just like the original Windows 8 theme has? Find it weird not having it...
Anw, wonderful work, exactly what i was looking for!

I'm not working at this theme current;y, it's just a quick throw together for people who like minimal stuff
If you want something more detailed, checkout Glow.

i said it once already but thanks a lot for the wonderful theme, it's my daily driver now, i've been trying the free version of glow too but when i switch, i can't see the difference, maybe i need to restart my pc first, but anyway it's great. i just wish there was a version more light greyish, like dream: [link]
the white is very nice but in the dark it's not very easy on the eyes. other than that it's perfect! thanks
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah I plan to work a bit on that point with glow and uxstyle happens to fail sometimes, go to taskmanager then services and then restart the "unsignedthemes" servcice ^^

hey thanks for the taskmanager tips!!

Wonderful theme! Simple and usable.
For those that like it even more simple and don't use the ribbon (I just use alt to get the normal menu) I'd recommend these adjustments:
Ribbon Disabler: [link]
Remove command bar (after reverting to win7 style auto-hide does not work right): [link]
Set your colors to black (will not affect your borders/titlebar with this theme, only your taskbar): [link]
Result: [link]

Sorry, I meant auto-hiding the command bar does not work properly.
Use this line instead as spacing is a bit different in Win8:
π: 0 β©: 0
I guess you use uxstyle?
If so go to taskmanager->services->unsigned themes->rightclick->restart
π: 0 β©: 2
i think i'll wait until it is perfect.
π: 0 β©: 2
Oh wait you mean [link]
it should work and it's not a service so the fix I just said can be ignored.
Did you install the patch as a admin?
π: 0 β©: 1
yes.right click and run as admin,but it not change.i don't understand.
π: 0 β©: 2
did you restart? (shutdown & boot doesn't count in win8)
π: 0 β©: 1
yes.yes.and i reinstall windows 8.but no.no thing change,and other visual style still not work.
π: 0 β©: 1
Go to charms then settings then power then reboot after patching.
Shutdown and turn on doesn't work.
If it's still not working I'll have to take a look into it.

maybe only me get this error

I'm not planning to update this theme and that it doesn't work is not the theme it's fault >.>
π: 0 β©: 0
