Windows 10: Windows 8.1 theme, window frames etc

Hi all,

I saw this site

Windows 8 Themes Final for Win10 by sagorpirbd on DeviantArt

Which shows the Windows 8.1-style theme and windows running on Windows 10. I would like this, but having tried the method on Windows 10 in a virtual machine, I can't seem to get it to work. Has anyone got any tips for getting the Windows 8.1 theme running on Windows 10? I really am not a fan of the Windows 10 default theme.

Thanks

:)

 

Windows 10 windows colour

Are you referring to the frame around the window or just the title bar? The frame around the window should generally be colorized to your current theme's accent color.

 

Window Frame Color

Not background color. Not icon color. The question is Frame color. The frame is the line around every window, also known as "title bar" and "border". I also need it to be a color other than white that
identifies it as active/passive. In XP you had many options to configure the colors of all aspects of a window. Chrome browser can do
it, but you have to download a theme editor extension. Please recommend a theme editor for Win10 if available.

Can MS change the frame color of a passive/active window? It's a simple yes or no. If no, Win10 is prejudiced against folks with many types of color-blindness disorders and needs to have much better accessibility
options like the older OSes.

Thanks very much for the reply Edwin.

However, this still has the huge ugly title bars on App Windows, unlike the theme on the site I linked to which is the actual Windows 8.1 theme. I would love to find a way to get this theme running in Windows 10 but can't seem to find an easy solution.

 

I would like this too. It would make me a lot more enchanted with Windows 10. I kinda miss the early TP builds for this reason now ...lol

 

Whether you try to run the patched theme from dA or use the AeroLite theme, it's the same result.

 

Not strictly true, the AeroLite theme looks nothing like the standard Windows 8.1 theme and also shows a lot of border corruption on some windows. The screenshot from the DA theme is clearly Windows 10 running with the much better looking (IMO) Windows 8.1 UI.

 

Ya'll know what happens, if the patcher works(and it usually doesn't just as @Edwin), and you want to uninstall it/turn it off????

Your system goes



And then you need to reimage(You do make system images don't you?)
Or reinstall.

 

Pretty darn close tough! *Wink
