April 9, 201313 yr Yep it is a pain with the pop-ups and ORelio hit the nail on the head from his post #101 , also about my rounded corner theme Kyolic just a theme I made from a few bing papers, seems when I am posting tho it does show rounded corners but non-rounded most time see image below..Here is the Bing theme I am using also.. https://www.yousendit.com/download/UVJpT201Y3l6NFBFdzhUQwhttp://img69.imagesh...ndedcorners.jpgThis doesn't seem to be a real round corner. There must be a round corner theme somewhere! No one knows?
April 9, 201313 yr It's not probably anywhere, just because Win8 does not support it at all - you must use tweak in my utility to apply rounded corners. Else... even if you modify theme texture, Win8 will still colorize whole rectangular area and even if you force Win8 not to colorize it (e.g. color is hardcoded in theme), it won't redraw that missing part of the corner (because the occlusion management will still take whole rectangle).

April 9, 201313 yr The Rounded Window Frames is a great addition! Edited April 9, 201313 yr by DosProbie
April 10, 201313 yr I don't install custom themes since it requires system file(s) patching but it looks really nice, good job You can use UxStyle Core which doesn't require system file changes, it is just a service loaded into memory at startup and is what I use.

April 10, 201313 yr Author You can use UxStyle Core which doesn't require system file changes, it is just a service loaded into memory at startup and is what I use.Didn't know that, tried UxStyle with your theme and it works well, great job !The window title buttons are slightly different from windows 7 original ones but that's pleasant to use, now switched to your theme
April 10, 201313 yr uxstyle never worked for me correctly. I use a tool from Andreas Verhoeven (which he has now sold, so the tol is gone, but it still works)

April 10, 201313 yr Author Exactly, no system files are modified, that's an additional service that run on windows startup.
April 11, 201313 yr Gotcha Thanx!! .. hey I d/l DWMHook07 and merged the AppInit where do all the .dll files and .pdb files go?
