WTF is this really Windows 8 "Windows 8 Made More Beautiful Than Default Windows 7"

[john petal]

Ok...I will try it :rolleyes:

[dcs18]

Just an heads-up:-

Those who've used the icon installer might have to run it once again - as the recent Windows from this Patch Tuesday has reverted the shell32.dll system file to default thereby affecting the Detail Pane within Explorer.

What fonts do you use?

[rudrax]

What fonts do you use?

Eurostile

Eurostile Bold

Eurostile Extended

[dcs18]

Yeah, in addition to what rudrax mentioned, I use the following, too:-

• Microgramma
• Unsteady Oversteer
• Vibrocen

[ande]

Thanks for the info, default Windows 8 fonts with performance boost (shadows and similar disabled) is killing my eyes. :)

@dcs

Lets hope blue is more configurable and one doesn't need to touch system files to make it more pleasant experience.

[dcs18]

Yeah, it's a matter of concern for me that Blue seems to be headed the Windows 8 way - good improvements, but all for the Modern UI (not the Desktop.) :(

The only one thing that keeps me invested in it's progress is the promise of a kernel - lighter than that of Windows 8.

Hey, does Theme Resource Changer run a visible process?

[dcs18]

Oh yeah, it does - the process reflected under Task manager is good news (signifies - everything is working, fine.)

[rudrax]

Oh yeah, it does - the process reflected under Task manager is good news (signifies - everything is working, fine.)

But when I terminate the process, everything works fine.

The critical role that it plays is during the Windows startup process; when WinLogOn happens - that's the crucial time when one's customized theme is permitted.

Hmm, that's the matter!

[dcs18]

You may also find an Unsigned Themes entry (on Automatic) under Services. ;)

[rudrax]

Yep

[rudrax]

Hey, I've been using Clover, a explorer extension for win 7 which facilitates multi-tab UI like Chrome. Used it but found that it isn't matching with the interface of HUD. So uninstalled in with Soft Organizer and ran a cleanup with Win 7 Manager. But the UI is still messed up.

Clover restored back the UI integrity with the default .dlls forbidding the theme's own overrides.

How to get rid of it?

[dcs18]

Did you try re-installing your HUD Apocalypse. ;)

[rudrax]

Did you try re-installing your HUD Apocalypse. ;)

Nope. It is already installed and can't be uninstalled as per their policy.

[dcs18]

You can just run their main theme installer once again and you can also run the 7tsp (icon installer.) ;)

[rudrax]

Reinstalled and restarted - nothing changes :(
