This one is great! It has a Basic theme and is quite usable without Aero.

Can you make one of these for windows 8? I keep searching but all I find is themes for windows 7. Plus I know you from MFSN Forums on that aero page :D

This was a nice theme. I used it for quite a long time, but my only gripe is that on the "Basic" version, it just looks like Windows 7 without Aero and there were no Start Orbs included. It's not the nice solid blue color of Windows 8. I'm actually using this theme now. It's so cool: [link] It's on :devart: so you don't have to worry about leaving the site to see it.

This theme is not supposed to resemble the RTM theme. Basic was to match the flatness and square windows. I never included start orbs because Windows 8 doesn't even have a start button. I haven't made changes to this theme, nor am I going to. :S

Well, it was fine because I ended up using the Aero version anyway and I found a Metro style start button and changed it anyway. But, I'm not using this theme anymore. It was fun while it lasted. Thanks for making it.

Nice Theme, Searching for it from a long time.
User tile is missing from start menu, is it ok? How to get it back? I kinda like it.
I was trying to create a theme with SHARP, Square(or Rectangle) corners, but could not get it. Can you share with me which Files to MODIFY? or How to make a Theme with SQUARE corners or edges?
