8 Skin Pack 2.0 : Transform Windows 7 To Windows 8 Build 7989 theme


Recommended Posts

Which is precisely why I think Windows 8 will fail, should they stick to this sort of design. God damn fugly and irritating to look at. :cool:

Fortunately, you don't have a clue.

This has no representation of how Microsoft handles Metro, the colors are messed up in this pack.

Maybe, still an improvement.

I was reading this thread and looking up jeff bushs win7 boot updater so i decided to make a app to change login/logout screens and desktop wallpaper

It's just about done and Written in C#

Anybody who wants to change their login background to this win8 one can do so with it.

Do you really think this thread or many like it or programs like windows blinds, object dock etc would have been built or opened otherwise?

Commonsense dictates there are many who like to "skin" or "dress" up their systems, novelty? , perhaps but optional regardless.

When i was 13 i was at school and playing outside with friends and family, not on a pc, however.

No offence, but do people really still use skins/themes, something I did back when I was around 13 or so.

Yes, and I'm 27.

I don't think it's a childish thing to do, I'm using soft7 2.0 now and I find my desktop looks much more attractive. It's less messy than standard aero and takes minimal effort to get working so why not?

    • Where is the "Wow!" emoji? This'll have to do 🤩
    • I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!
    • It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.
    • If it makes anybody happy, others will need to be bitter about it. (apologies to Yogi Berra)
    • I owned a lot of Soundblaster cards over the years all the way back to the ISA slot era. I use a Soundblaster X3 external now because I'm able to run it through a KVM and have it follow the machine I happen to be using. It drives a set of JBL 305 powered monitors wonderfully. I'm not gaming or doing home theater through it, so rear channels aren't a consideration for me, though it does have side / rear / sub outputs.
