How to change the theme to look like that? Cause the regular Windows theme will not allow to modify the whole thing.

I updated the pinned posts about customization in this forum, windows 8.1 guide: https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1217859-guide-for-windows-81-customization/

Other customization guides will be added in new few days.

lol I like the ribbon so i keep it enabled

 

it's hard to find a good theme that the ribbon doesn't look crap in because all the good theme makers (such as yourself) all disable the ribbon

Yeah because ribbon is useless, we got a right mouse button for that.

I find the Ribbon very beneficial. It displays everything in an orderly fashion, and doesn't attempt to hide things from the user in archaic and non-descript drop downs.

Dropdowns? The rightclick menu is just a single list and shows already all we need, if you need something else you can still access the menubar.

The main reason why we customizers get rid of the ribbon is because we can't theme it :/

Good if you're a keyboard jockey too, never mind not everything is available in a context menu.

 

Not that I'm bashing the theme designer's decision mind you, he designed it based on what he thinks looks good, whatever does it for you and all that.  I personally like the ribbon but *shrug* everybody has their own opinion, I understand the 'wasted space' argument too, never mind if it's unable to be themed that could be a big monkeywrench in getting your look going too.

Lack of themes that incorporate the ribbon is why I gave up on custom windows themes, you end up loosing too much for little real gain :/

I find that it looks pretty sexy with aero enabled.

Seahorse, It appears when you click on desktop in file explorer, it cuts the D off of Desktop.  Not a huge deal and I'm loving this theme!

It's a bug I know about and haven't been able to fix yet.
