Man,

my compliments, with Tihiy patch you get Windows 8 with your great theme as Windows 7, but 7 is far far more better and customizable.
Metro crap UI is not affected by the theme, so looks as hit in the eye...
Care to show the Explorer with ribbon and new file transfer look just out of curiosity...?

Well done Master!!:givahand:

Well done Master!!:givahand:

Well I am not going to ever use ribbon I think it's ugly and takes up way too much room and doesn't bring any extra functionality, it was just a change for the sake of change and to get a more unified look with Office and other things they decided to add the ribbon to, but anyway that's just my opinion.

As far as customizing it goes though, well it is not part of the theme file so to change it I would have to find the resources first in whatever file it's in, but here is how it looks unmodified with the theme.

Mark that theme looks just as awesome bud as it did when you released it for 7
I really hate to say this... I don't think i'll ever be using it.
I don't think a theme gonna help the fubar that microcrap create with this OS release.
So far your theme is the only thing i have seen about 8 that has impressed me about it.

Right Bud,
as expected. At the beginning when ribbon activated with orange circles we all are excited about it, when manually ported some icons into it...
Now using only 7 i do not miss it at all
I do not expect so big success in Windows 8, so less people using it, just part of them demanding themes...
Your work anyway is appreciated, you're the first with a brand new theme for 8, which differs a lot from 7 resources, so the work must be enormous...

you said right Master, i preferr 10.000 times enjoy the Grim theme on windows 7, which is stable and full functional...
Microsoft removed start menu and orb, the patch works well(Tihyi is a great GuY), until Ms decides so, anytime with update can kill that feature and you remain with a piece of crap.... frankenbuilded on top of that...
Metro crap can be themed, is a hit in the eye non customizable non fitting colors..

Masters have a nice day:-D

It looks awesome Mr Grim. Is it possible to have the 7tps package installed on Windows 8 too?

Civilian
October 26th, 2012, 08:22 PM
Yes, was wondering about 7tsp and icon customization in general? This theme will be an instant purchase anyways. Thanks to Grim for having some style!

Mr GRiM
October 26th, 2012, 10:37 PM
I have tested 7tsp packs and they are not working so far, the only way to do it at the moment is by manually taking ownership of individual files and then renaming .bak then and adding the modified files, not sure how long it will be if ever 7tsp packs will be available on Windows 8, it would depend on the creator of 7tsp to support it and make updates.

you can use skin pack installer system to modify windows 8 system files:

I would use your system but you don't have the number of options that I would like, your system is a bit too limited for me mate, if you could add the ability to add more options then I would gladly use it.

skin pack installer system its a open source program ,you can add more files and programs in skin pack installer system folder in programfiles directory:
open this files with notepad and after change save it.
"InstallerSystemFiles.nsi" add more system files (dll & exe) to change ,also add files in "UninstallerSystemFiles" for unistall, copy files in "_FILES" folder.
"InstallerExtras.nsi" add more visualstyles,wallpapers,media,cursors and programs also add files in "UninstallerExtras.nsi" for unistall , copy files in "Extras" folder.
if you have any other problem with this just ask me and i will help you.
also if you want any other option just tel me and i will add it for you.
thanks.

OK well that sounds pretty good, if you can Hamed could you have a go at making a complete theme pack for the Equinox Windows 8 theme including all of the modified system files, then I will give it a full test to see how it goes on my system.

Seriously awesome! I can't wait to try this out. Looking really sweet! This is seriously a work of art and it is really starting to give me hope for my Windows 8 install yet lol. I love it. LOL Anywhere close to a beta?:happy: I have been using the Equinox beta for Windows 8 but still not the same as having the HUD installed lol.


Anyways,

Great job and can't wait!

So The combination of My Asus ROG G75VW laptop and the Windows 8 Equinox theme /style kind of inspired me to make a new wallpaper. The wallpapers that come with Windows 8 really eh don't do it for me..:laughing: I absolutely love Mr. Grim's work! Can't wait for HUD to come out. So far I think it will be awesome! :)
This may not be the place for it, but I thought I would post it anyways to get Mr. Grim's opinion. lol It may not look like much, but I thought it was a cool beginning to something bigger down the road. It is still a work in progress

Completely modeled and rendered in LightWave 11.0

Yes this is just the beginning, I will be making most of the popular Windows 7 themes available on Windows 8, there are still a few limitations I would like worked out though before I start making any more, I have still got hope that someone will be able to bring back transparency in the explorer windows plus I need to work on making proper installers for all the extras, at the moment it looks like 7tsp works only on x86 so will need to find a way to do the same on x64.

He likes my HUD theme on my laptop for windows 7 and I told him there will be a theme for windows 8 soon so now he keeps asking if it's done or ready yet for his laptop. So as soon as it's done I'll be grabbing it for him.

Yes this theme is available in 3 colors Blue, Red and Orange, This this is currently only for Win 7 at the moment. and is in the premium themes section. There is also another New version of this theme called HUD Machine for win 7 as well, and in the premium themes section. I beleive this theme is in the works for win 8. So keep an eye out for it.

Laur it not Mr Grim that is screwing you out of having a great looking system.

It microsoft themself's that is screwing you.

With every update they remove more and more stuff to force you to use your computer the way they want you to use it. Not the way you want to use it.
It is a never ending battle to modify the system files and at some point you just have to throw up your hands and say it pointless to continue wasting your time and effort on a garbage OS.

Best advise dump Windows8 and reinstall Windows7

Oh wait MS screwed you again if you have a recently purchased a new win 8 system.
A lot of new system purchasers are finding out they can't easily remove Windows8 and install their old love Windows7 because Microsoft has conspired with the motherboard manufactures and changed the way the bios are constructed and configured on the new win 8 systems. So there is no going back to Windows7 with out going threw a ton of hassles on those machines.
And IF (keyword being IF) you are able to get 8 off the new system and 7 installed are you gonna be able to find working hardware drivers that are backwards compatible with Windows7 UI
