BEFORE YOU USE THIS, GET THE THEME PATCH HERE: [link]

My first Windows 8 theme and some-what Windows 7 theme port of my Windows 8 Custom Theme!

This theme returns the Windows 8 Release Preview caption buttons, but flattened out to match the Metro UI and while keeping the caption borders intact. This theme is only for people with a different preference from the stock Windows 8 theme, but want a little bit of the Release Preview stock theme. This theme was also made to test the capabilities of Big Muscle's DWMHook (Aero Glass) program.

Changelog:

v1.3.2 (3/30/2013)
-Fixed Caption Text in White theme when explorer ribbon is enabled

v1.3.1 (3/10/2013)
-Fixed taskbar thumbnail text color in White theme

v1.3A (3/4/2013)
-Start Orb Fixes for Normal, Small Top & Bottom Taskbar (PSD's and PNG's)

v1.3 (2/11/2013) The Start Menu Update!

New:
-Added StartIsBack MSStyles! (You must have StartIsBack in order to use this!)
-Added matching Start Orbs for StartIsBack! The orbs provided are red, but you can easily edit the hue in your favorite raster graphics editor for your liking! Credits to the original creator below!

Minor Fixes:
-Updated Commandlink button to square

v1.2 (2/9/2013)
-Updated Inactive Caption Text color in white caption text theme.
-Fixed minor detail in active caption buttons
-Updated Navigation Buttons to use Release Preview stock arrow buttons.
-Added Windows 8 gray stock wallpaper for the white caption text theme.
-Removed COLORIZATIONCOLOR:INT dependency in white caption text theme as it caused issues with custom navigation buttons and caption buttons.

v1.1.1 (2/3/2013)
-Quick fixed inactive caption buttons not being flat

v1.1 (2/2/2013)
-Added white caption text MSStyles variant for darker themes

v1.0 (1/31/2013)
-Initial Release

You must use UXStyle Patcher first.

there seems to be a bug on the explorer captions not turning white, is this common?

Heres a preview of what i meant [link]

The caption 'computer' is not visible even though im using the white caption theme.

If there is a fix please let us know!

Cheers

I've noticed this issue as well, for some odd reason, the bug is triggered if the Windows 8 explorer ribbon is enabled. I have mine disabled. I'll see if I can quick fix this.

I see what you mean, I thought it was my pc now I see in your preview that you have completely removed the ribbon on explorer, whereas I sill have mine.

Hopefully theres a workaround cause the theme is the best I've seen around.

Cheers
