HUD Evolution for windows 8/8.1



OK guys, I know you have been waiting for it and I said I might not release it but decided to give it to you all for free instead, it comes with a complete installer, just select the options you want to install, but make sure you read what each option does and don't just select all of them.

I recommend running sfc /scannow before you install and you should probably run the installer as administrator, especially if you want to use any of the post install restore options.

Other Programs you will need:

Start Is Back (by Tihiy) Brings back the Start Menu https://startisback.com/#download-tab Free 30 Day Trial, $3 for 2 licenses

Aero Glass for Windows 8 RC0 (by Big Muscle) https://www.msfn.org/board/topic/1617...-for-win8-rc0/

To Restore default Windows Metrics use this one. Aero Default Windows Metrics.reg


Update 15/06/2013: Fixed problem with installer creating AclFiles in the wrong directory preventing File Permissions being restored

Well in Windows 7 you could have changed the colours in advanced appearance settings but since that was removed in Windows 8 you could edit the .theme file and add Custom Colours there, the following is an example of the default colours in the Vista8Mix theme, you can add these values to the .theme file.

[Control Panel\Colors]
ActiveBorder=180 180 180
ActiveTitle=153 180 209
AppWorkspace=171 171 171
Background=0 0 0
ButtonAlternateFace=0 0 0
ButtonDkShadow=105 105 105
ButtonFace=240 240 240
ButtonHilight=255 255 255
ButtonLight=227 227 227
ButtonShadow=160 160 160
ButtonText=0 0 0
GradientActiveTitle=185 209 234
GradientInactiveTitle=215 228 242

Just edit or remove any properties you want.

So I just copy in the entire thing starting with [Control Panel/Colors]? I only ask because I see /Cursors and /Desktop in the .theme file but no /Colors. I really want to be careful as a mistake could result in another System Restore due to the inability of Win8 to boot.

can someone just give me the theme file only? I have problem with skin pack like this. Every time i update my computer, it will not turn on

My installer is nothing like the Skin pack one so please don't compare it to them, my installer works very different and works much better, if you only want to install them theme then just select the theme components to be installed and none of the extras, if you don't feel safe doing that then test it on a VM first, I have 274 downloads so far and I have not seen a single issue from anyone relating to the installer.
