Your Favorite Themes for Windows 8

[Tusticles]

Here is screenshot of vista theme with authentic desktop icons for User files and Network, I made a vista.dll file with all vista icons, You can use it with any of the Vista themes on here to complete the vista desktop experience, if anyone is interested let me know and I can post the file with instructions on here..DP

Is that on Windows 8?

If so, how did you get the transparent address bar, etc?

Windows Vista...

I'd like to know if there's any way possible to port this theme of this old version of Windows 8, including the non-flat Ribbon UI, and port it to the final of 8 and 8.1.

This is the Consumer Preview Winver 6.2 Build 8250.

Non flat is no problem. Just replace the uiribbon.dll and the corresponding mui files with the ones from the Consumer Preview. Done that some time ago.

Can you tell me the files of the ones to get from Consumer Preview other than the UIRibbon file and the corresponding mui ones from the en-US folder, just to make sure I'm getting the right ones? If you can, that'd be great. I've always remembered the Non-Flat Ribbon that use to be in Consumer Preview. I thought to myself, Why couldn't Microsoft leave that alone?

You need 3 files, UIRibbon.dll, UIRibbonRes.dll and UIRibbon.dll.mui, just tried it and it worked.

And these go in the System 32 folder AND the SysWOW64 folder? Or Just the System32 folder?

Thanks i have the files , now I want to move them to C:\Windows\System32. Can not copy any files even in safe mode, I tried to give me the rights necessary not working either .. How do I do that?

[DoubleSAnimations]

I believe you have to use the Security Tab on the properties of the 3 files

I have try but after that Windows tells me that it's files are already in use.

I miss Aero 8 by Night since I upgraded to Win 8.1. Now I am using this theme:

It's somewhat nicer than the default theme of Windows.

I'm sure Night is coming up with an update of Aero 8 so that it can work for Windows 8.1
