----------------------------
Special Thanks to DM-moinmoin www.deskmodder.de/blog/ for uploading the 64bit system files, so to be this modification for 64 bit systems.
------------------------------------------------------
the theme is made to work when to default size, so go to Control PanelAppearance and PersonalizationDisplay and be sure that you have select (default) Smaller 100% .
There are on this download, system files that can be used only on 64 versions of windows 8 RTM (64 bit), and including instructions text.
But you have to replcace also system files that exist to c:windowssyswow64 folder which are 32 bit ones, so you have to copy also my imac theme for Windows 8 RTM 32bit zeusosx.deviantart.com/art/ima… and copy those files from there.
There is instructions text which explain those.
Please download 7zip www.7-zip.org/download.html for unzip the files and follow carefully the instructions included.
as also please, about taking ownership in files of windows 8 have a look to this www.intowindows.com/take-owner… to this www.addictivetips.com/windows-…
i recomend after unzip the file to take ownership to the folder [selecting during the procedure this to be applied to all subfolders of it]
before doing anything make a restore point .
as also after you copy paste the system files dll, following the instructions, to C:WindowsSystem32 take again the ownership of them.

How would one go about making the drop shadow way bigger on the windows? Lion's drop-shadows are ridiculously big but i love them, and would love to have that in windows 8.

thank you for posting, i will add this to the text Tips>
(What i did is more complicated not used registry but direct parameters, and there was no just 2 as are in the registry, if i remember well there 5 and the one was the vertical, the other the horizontal, the distance from top, the distance from left and that of right, but perchaps i may mistake as this kind of code made 2 years before, and for any case, forexample for small icons is other, for icons normal and big other, for details other etc but are not for desktop.
i test the registry method , it works so i will add it to tips)
thank you.

Love this! You changed almost everything on "Windows". I appreciate your hard work to make this visual style.

Another idea : if you want a white theme a bit like this, you should make a big contrast between the white windows and the task bar : so make the taskbar look like this : [link]

thank you for your research.
on past i have made experimentally this [link] or [link] but now i have not inspiration.
as also microsoft killed the transparency on win 8. i like mac style with trasparency as on vista , or on 7, ribbon [with quiq acces toolbar] should be hidden and reappear with a button, or at least replace the folderband.

[link] : Great !
But what I meant was you should make white windows, a white explorer, and a black taskbar & Start Menu...
