The second pic just kills the Imemersive concept.

[Windows X]

You have to try using it. Immersive browser is pretty cool. There's limited slot so at least I wanna show how Aero UI looks like in normal desktop.

^ link to a link. Thats great!!!

[Windows X]

Here's screenshot of Immersive Browser UI in Metro Start Screen (Newgen).

This pack doesn't modify anything to system files or system configuration. It's the cleanest Windows 8 Shell Pack that offers the most so far.

[MindTrickz]

Where are the screenshots?

Edit: They are now working.

wow actually looks pretty decent.. Great job Windows X as usual

Bit of a let down you can't just install the Windows 8 Aero theme without anything else.

[Windows X]

Just uncheck Windows 8 features so you can get only theme (I consider logon screen and desktop wallpaper to be part of theme).

[.Neo]

How do I just get the theme without the custom desktop/login wallpapers?

[Mattytommo]

Pretty amazing work to be fair, seemed a bit buggy after the install, but restarted and it's all working fine!

[Windows X]
