Here is my newest 8.1 theme.
It takes my minimal style one step further
and removes both the Address and Command bars.

You can run the theme with or without Aero Glass (http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/63102-Aero-Glass-for-Win8-1-RC1-by-Big-Muscle-x86-x64-AIO) installed.
But it is really meant to be run with it.
If you run it with it,you can also run Black Glass Enhanced.
The Color Intensity is set all the way up by default so you
will have to adjust it to your desired transparency.
You should also run Taskbar Blur Toggle (http://dblake1.deviantart.com/art/Taskbar-Blur-Toggle-0-2-0-412358153)
get get the taskbar to look like it does in the previews.

The theme was made to be used with OldNewExplorer (http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/170375-oldnewexplorer-make-your-81-explorer-work-like-win78-one/)
which can disable the Ribbon and also allow the theme
to change the white Control Panel images,plus a few more

cool things.

You might want to refresh yourself with some keyboard shortcuts
or set some of your mouse buttons for forward and back!
Some basic shortcuts are
Back page
ALT+LEFT ARROW=BACK
forward page
ALT=RIGHT ARROW=FORWARD
show\hide Preview Pane
ALT=P=PREVIEW WINDOW
show\hide details pane
ALT=SHIFT=P=DETAIL PANE

I included a few extras
new clock and dark WMP12 skin
Rocket Dock skin
Font with a .reg to change change it
and a 7tsp Token icon pack

There is also a less minimal version that brings the Address Bar back.
Instructions,links,etc are in the download.
This blue version of the theme is only available here at Virtual Customs
Thanks Mark for all your help over the past few years!

This theme is phenomenal! Well done sir! Minimal Blue is to Win8 as HUD Evolution is to Win7. Who said that?:cheeky:Weird analogy bro... lol Any chance for a version without the blue taskbar? Just solid black like the edges are currently?

UPDATE: I found a workaround to get an all black taskbar. Just add a new empty toolbar and change the icon size to large.
