TwentyThirteen for Windows 8 1.03by ~Sand-And-Mercury

Customization / Skins & Themes / Windows 8 Utilities / Visual Styles 8

I got sick of how the main Windows 8 visual style looks so different (and crap) compared to Microsoft's own Office 2013 and Visual Studio applications, so here's my feeble effort at reconciling the difference.

Basically it's the retina-destroying white of Office 2013 with some of Visual Studio's ideas thrown in.

Changelog

1.03 (01/01/2013)
- Happy new year!
- Scroll bars now look the way I wanted them to originally
- Caption glyphs have been changed very slightly (lighter)
- License/legal info is included in the zip.
- Added a dash of colour to the default wallpaper.
- Unfocused windows now have shadows like Visual Studio does.

1.02 (30/09/2012):
- Fixed the taskbar problem, hopefully.
- Tucked the folder band away from Explorer - disable the ribbon using [link] (it works for RTM as well as CP)

Installation

1) Go to [link] if you're on 64 bit or [link] if you're on 32 bit and patch your uxstyle dll. Restart your computer if need be.

2) Download this style and extract it to %WINDIR%\Resources\Themes

3) Right click your desktop, go to 'Properties' and select 'TwentyThirteen' as your theme.

4) Eat ice cream (optional).

Whares the download link

I did exactly what the instructions said to do and instead of a pretty new theme I got a flashing black screen. I restarted the computer and the black screen persisted; I ended up having to do a system restore. This seems to happen with any and every theme. What the fuck am I doing wrong here?

Sounds like your theme patch is cocking up - are you using the right one? Don't use a W7 patcher on W8 and vice versa!

The theme is awesome.

I don't know if you could, but maybe could you release a dark version of the theme for Windows 8, (and soon to be June 26th Windows 8.1) Thanks!

Worst thing about W8 is the look. I like the rest but they should have kept aero.
This might make it a bit better though.

THE BEST DAMN VS ON THE PLANET

Hi guys,

Am I missing something. I installed the 64 bit version of uxstyle...placed theme in resources...click on theme and it just makes my taskbar clear...like aerolite

~secretxax Apr 21, 2013

Could you release a W7 version?
