August 19, 201412 yr Sounds like you prefer a simple and functional desktop. That's my goal also. I use the Windows 8.1 standard theme with Aero Glass for Win 8.1 and a minimalist theme atlas file here. I've reduced the size of the window chrome by importing registry values saved from a Windows 7 system. -Noel
August 20, 201412 yr I think this theme is pretty good for those who like dark themes: http://liveordietm.deviantart.com/art/AeroByDesign-For-Windows-8-1-Update-1-401771941
August 21, 201412 yr I dont even care for AERO, TRANSPARENCY and the COLORS you have. I want Windows 2000. Simple and light Grey. No Dark or bright tones. Office 2013 is too WASHED OUT WHITE.. So bit of the Gray is better. Sounds like you prefer a simple and functional desktop. That's my goal also.

August 21, 201412 yr How about this Windows Classic theme? It looks quite simple. http://xxinightxx.deviantart.com/art/Windows-Classic-Vs-8-1-Update-1-457573957
August 22, 201412 yr Love it. Thanks. You are a life saver : ) How about this Windows Classic theme? It looks quite simple. http://xxinightxx.deviantart.com/art/Windows-Classic-Vs-8-1-Update-1-457573957
August 24, 201412 yr Hello. Has anyone found a theme that maintains the settings of the default theme but changes the white background in file explorer (both the tree and the main window) and probably other applications to light grey?

Would you willing to share your theme atlas? Or maybe you could pack your theme into a themepack file? Because that is literally exactly what I'm looking for in a theme. I can grab AG from BM's website myself. Lastly, did BM make that control panel? Or is it third party? Edited August 24, 201412 yr by ptd163
August 24, 201412 yr Ptd163, yes, that's the factory default theme plus Aero Glass for Win 8.1 plus my own theme atlas. Save for a small change to make light characters on a dark "glow", it is available on BigMuscle's download site. Here's a version that puts up a dark background "glow" behind title text, in case you like the light characters on dark background look. http://Noel.ProDigitalSoftware.com/temp/themeatlas.png And yes, that's BigMuscle's own beta GUI application to modify Aero Glass parameters pictured in my screen grab, also available from his download site, and with which I changed the caption text color to white as shown. -Noel Edited August 24, 201412 yr by NoelC
