Gray 8.1

[gsw953]

Hey Everyone,I was dying to check out Mr.Grim's new Custom Class Maps (http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/63105-Custom-Class-Maps-for-WSB-1-5-5-6?p=284096#post284096)
So I dropped everything yesterday and did an update to Gray8 for 8.1!

65368

This updated is made to be used with OldNewExplorer by Tihiy (http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/170375-oldnewexplorer-make-your-81-explorer-work-like-win78-one/)
When using this app,you will be able to disable the Ribbon add the old Details Pane and have the custom images for the
Control Panel and System Properties load.Plus a few more things

65369

65370

I have also included the clock for Gray8-updated to work on 8.1
a new dark WMP12 skin
and a Token small 7tsp icon pack that will work on 8.1

I am no longer using StartIsBack so this theme was designed NOT to be used with it.
It should still work fine if you have it installedd but the Taskbar icon right click menu may not look 100%

A huge thanks to Mr.Grim and Tihiy for making this possible!
I did play around with the shellstylle.dll a bit and added a hover text color to the Command bar
and the Explorer Listview items!

Your system must be patched to run 3rd party themes
Instructions,previews and credits are included

Nice update Greg, I take it you are liking the new shellstyle mods, let me know if you find some interesting things to put in there :smile:

[Mr GRiM]

Found a few little bugs, the hover in the CP is the same color as the text, also it looks like you missed the places bar, it's still white, one other thing is the caption test is a dark grey color and almost unreadable, I see in your screen that it's white though.

I almost always miss the places bar,lol
Ya the caption text is fine here,but the first time I loaded the theme it looked like yours does.
I will investigate this some more.I am basically using my w8 msstyle(your's from Equinox) and the new shellstyle,so I might have missed
something

No worries a couple of places you may want to check.

Windows & Caption Buttons > Aero > Window > Frames > Window > Top
Windows & Caption Buttons > Basic > Frames > Window > Top

It was the first one,it was like that for a year,must not have showed up on 8
I just updated it,I think everything is good now,I also fixed the small taskbar.
Then I accidently hit the use visual style button when I saved it to a different drive!
So you know what happened lol and of course none of my restore points would
work but 3 hours later I now have a nice fresh install of Windows 8 and get to
re-install everything

i can't stress this enough i really do suggest that if you can afford it get rollback rx and simply turnoff system restore. restore points can be corrupted in so many ways. i have yet to see a rollback rx snapshot get corrupted.

I love the new shellystyle!!
I was thinking of .dll's that I used to edit for w7 and I remembered the Performance center,do you think you
could add some of those properties?It is looking pretty ugly right now!

I do have a UI file that should help, that feature is removed in Windows 8.1 though, no more WEI, try adding this one and name the folder PerfCenterCPL_UIFILE

Just tried it on my Windows 8 and this is how it looks with HUD Evo.

Welcome mate, would love to do the time/date as well but I don't have high hopes for it, been trying to do something with that for long while.
