Hello everyone...

So, since Windows 8 is on the edge, or even better, installed and running happy on my PC.

I'm a huge modder, a fan of custom made visual styles (themes). Prev. in win7 i have a bunch, but now I miss them. Does any1 know if there is a UXTheme patch available for win8 yet? If so, link please...

I would on some "crappy" forums, some app, which claims to be working in the "customer preview" version of win8. [my_wcp_theme_patch, didn't run it yet, but no virus found]

Metro ahoy.

There will probably be a theme patcher for the desktop side as before but I dunno what you can tweak as far as the start screen goes at this point. I think at best there could be a tool that will let you use your own background image on the start screen but that's really as far as I see that going for now.

Here's another: http://windows8themes.ms/how-to-install-third-party-theme-in-windows-8/ And Rafael Rivera is going to update his in-memory patch, UxStyle, once he gets the kernel mode driver signing certificate. :p

    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?
