MrGRiM Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) This was done as a request, it based on the Windows 8 RP theme with some minor changes, Taskbar was left at default. Updated RP Theme: The following applications are needed:- UXStyle or Big Muscles UxThemeSignatureBypass- Latest OldNewExplorer- AeroGlass 1.3.1 Debug BuildUpdate: 29/03/2015 Uploaded the latest msstyles that matches the preview image. Download from Mediafire here: https://www.mediafire.com/?1o4e6o929im1rgd Update: 30/03/2015 Now includes 2 styles, the older one with all the older rounded buttons and the new one called Aero RP that I took directly from the RP msstyles with a couple of minor changes.

MagicAndre1981 Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 thanks. It doesn't like exactly like the 8 RP, but still a bit better compared to the default theme.
MrGRiM Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 thanks. It doesn't like exactly like the 8 RP, but still a bit better compared to the default theme.Yeah I know that now after I got hold of the RP msstyles, I will make another version closer to the original in the next couple of days.
DosProbie Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Good Job Grim!, it's more in the flavor of CP than RP but still a good port over. Look at my screenshot belowI am using UxThemeSignatureBypass and my buttons are coming out black.~DP
MrGRiM Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) I think I may have uploaded the wrong msstyles in the theme, this was an early one I had in a folder that I thought I had updated with my last save, I will upload the correct one, sorry guys. Theme updated with correct version now. Please make sure you are using OldNewExplorer as well, even if you don't check any of the options to change anything the theme will still appear allot better with the modified UI files I have made in the shellstyle.dll.

DosProbie Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Thanks for the Update Grim, buttons are working now.~DP Here is a screen shot of a 8.1 to 10 theme that I am currently working on with some RP flavor.

MagicAndre1981 Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 thanks. The newer version is better. I'll test the theme a bit in the Win10 TP
drakulaboy Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) sad there is no AeroGlass 1.3.1 Debug Build for x86 , just tried the theme, it looks good, have replaced some ugly ucons in imageres.dll Edited March 28, 2015 by drakulaboy
MagicAndre1981 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 @MrGRiM can you also replace the Taskbar? I don't like the one from Win10.
MrGRiM Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 @MrGRiM can you also replace the Taskbar? I don't like the one from Win10. Yes I can replace the Taskbar but not the taskbar item buttons, those are pretty much hard codded and no longer themeable through the msstyles, here is a preview of my RP v2 with the RP Taskbar, I have removed the gradient in the middle though as I didn't think it suited the rest of the style and looked more like a remanent of Windows 7 2
MrGRiM Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 Updated the first post with new RP theme, hope you all like it, it's about as close as your going to get. 1
drakulaboy Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 is there a similar tool like BlackGlassEnhanced? looks like on Win10 TP it doesn't work)
MrGRiM Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) is there a similar tool like BlackGlassEnhanced? looks like on Win10 TP it doesn't work)Nothing exactly the same, there are other ones that can give everything a bit of transparency but all the ones I have tried always seemed a bit buggy, here are a couple that I have tried in the past, first one is System Transparency by Prisoner, I knew him on Seven Forums when he was developing this one http://www.sevenforums.com/free-developer-programs-projects/63796-transparency-project.html and also a much older one that was used on on XP that still seems to work is Glass2K http://chime.tv/products/glass2k/Glass2k.exe these are not like Black Glass Enhanced though and they will not give you blur behind the transparent areas. Added the system transparency file as you have to be a Seven Forums member to downloadSystem Transparency.7z Edited March 30, 2015 by MrGRiM
drakulaboy Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 have played with those tools, thx MrGRiM, it's sad because only BlackGlassEnhanced was giving the wanted effect but with this it's just all transparent, the icons etc.
