I do not personally use unsigned themes, not my cup of tea. I have not looked at for a long time  :wink:

However, you should be able to use custom Aero Theme (aero.msstyles). The theme files are patched.
Have you tried the custom Aero Theme in Build\Themes

These three *.dll files need to be copied to > windows\system32 < prior to creating the target Image or ISO

You can add (overwrite) the existing files manually or use Additional Files script..

These files where extracted from windows 8.1 (x86) and are the patched 4.0 version

Code: [Select]

Also included in the zip are the backup copies of the original windows files

I used the codebox so as not to have live link to another website, but as a reference to the downloaded program..

The installer has 4 other bundled programs along with it..  uxstyle states it does not modify system files and appears (to me) to be more of a program loaded into memory..

Website also states if having problem with uxstyle - to use uxtheme > so just thought I'd Bypass the uxstyle..

I extracted the files via my host OS and did not want to mess with memory option

I know there is a plugin somewhere (or I think there is) that reads what system files where accessed by in installer.. But do not remember where I seen it..

To know, themeui.dll, uxinit.dll, uxtheme.dll are already patched in theme plugin
~ the same as UltraUXThemePatcher http://www.syssel.net/hoefs/software_uxtheme.php?lang=en

Try by renaming the style in aero.msstyles + maybe the theme folder in Windows\Resources\Themes\aero (change also the path in aero.msstyles)

Oh thx :) But i mean this http://izzuthug.deviantart.com/favourites/57674767/Windows-8-1-Themes

hmm, not for me, i don't like all the popup, addfly, Google+1,... for downloading :wink:

Hi KYHI,

mem patch is quite popular with reasons  :thumbsup:
As you see on website normal patch is 2nd for insurance ;)


I wonder the reason not putting live link,
 Only reason I knew was forums forcing others to sign up to get link which never be case here,
  I feel there is another reason I am not aware, since I don't go around forums on net maybe I miss something...??

Snapshot kind of applications does this with before-after install
Filewatcher
Ashompoo

There was a topic I had wrote instructions .... maybe some plugins on Yomi ... Debug

Chris, I thought the files where patched in themes..

Lance, no other reason (some forums allow and some do not) so I just codebox - not live link

ChrisR - supplied a better link to the download - same files - not a bundleware package..

montytrollic,

Since these are not normal (or portable) windows,
 Things naturally not available as normal windows,
  There is always interest to add normal windows things,
    But not easy and requires time, and there is always more importand thing around, lots of things waiting to be contributed.

KYHI,

Since you like to work on a project,
 Why not portable windows on iso :)
   Static .vhd creation available,
    Most people have 4gb or more ram,
     Maybe you can boot .vhd inside wim since it is writable etc....

If you like to work on such thing, lots of things already available   on projects. :smile:

Why not portable windows on iso :)
or only creation of such .vhd ;)
  As far as I remember Virtualbox directly suports .vhd,
   Aside virtual testing, it can bu used for preparations too (like unattended setup)
 :wink:

What? I downloading themes normally from this site . :confused:
Try those one for example 
Windows10 TP Black Aero Theme Windows 8.1 by cu88
Arius Windows 8 by Mr-Blade
I did not go further than adf.ly, shorte.st with crapware ready to download and other popus.

ChrisR - supplied a better link to the download - same files - not a bundleware package..
http://www.syssel.net/hoefs/software_uxtheme.php?lang=en
Not enough time to watch now and WE now (my wife :raygun: if I play too much with my PC  :wink:)
I keep for when I have more free time.

More customization than a theme but if you have free time, a plugin for Tihiy's OldNewExplorer (make your 8.1 explorer work like Win7/8 one) would be interesting  :wink:
It works well in Win8.1SE, the options could be made at build time probably.
