  1. Might be a better idea to close this thread and start a fresh one rather then trying to remove all the useless posts, I check this thread daily to find out if there are any updates or testing I can do but it seems most of the time I am just reading the same thing over and over from all these guys asking the same stupid question.

    Thanks? ._.

  2. How did you get the W7 Basic theme in W8? D:

    How can i use this? ...

    For compatibility reasons, the Windows 7 Basic theme still exists in all of the default Windows 8 themes, including the Release Preview and Basic theme. You can see the W7 Basic theme (With Aero opening animation) when you run a program in Windows XP Compatibility mode. To use it, all you need to do is to copy pssuspend.exe to the System32 folder and run the batch file script as a Administrator. Remember to use the Win7 Explorer located here: I think this might work with Win8 Explorer if someone can find a way to get out of the Start Screen after DWM is killed

    I can't find that file in System32 u.u.. it seems that doesn't exist in Windows 8 Build 9200..

  3. I think this is beyond the scope of this application and I admit that I don't know how to achieve this. If I kill DWM, it is restarted immediately. If I force it not to be restarted (or frozen immediately after startup), the screen won't be drawn at all.

    Actually, I was able to kill DWM by using PsSuspend to suspend WinLogin.exe (which suspending prevents DWM to restart) and then killing it. I highly recommend using Windows 7's explorer since the start screen (which uses DWM to animate) covers the Primary Monitor in Windows 8's Explorer when you kill DWM. Here is the Bat file code:

    To Kill:

    @echo off
    echo DWM KillCode for Windows 8. FOR TESTING PORPOSES ONLY!
    pause
    pssuspend.exe winlogon.exe
    taskkill /IM dwm.exe /F

    To Resurrect:

    @echo off
    pause
    pssuspend.exe -r winlogon.exe
    dwm.exe
