NoelC Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloha Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashnburn4u Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 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.

Aloha Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 How about this Windows Classic theme? It looks quite simple. http://xxinightxx.deviantart.com/art/Windows-Classic-Vs-8-1-Update-1-457573957 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeylove Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 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, 2014 by ptd163 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) 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, 2014 by NoelC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
