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

    • Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow

      By wingliston · Posted

      I do not use the AdGuard extension. I have uninstalled both the uBlock and Stylus extensions, as well as the Tampermonkey extension, since I began using AdGuard for Windows 7 months ago. It does not use any extension APIs, it modifies traffic system wide using a local proxy. AdGuard performs all the functions of uBlock, as well as additional features such as HTTPS filtering, cosmetic (user scripts and user styles), as well as DNS. It works with any browser and application. I don't understand why you consider the desktop program to be useless...

      Should Google be forced to stop promoting Chrome over other browsers? Google pushes Chrome to anyone visiting its website using browsers other than Chrome.
    • Save 31% on Samsung T7 Portable SSD

      Save 31% on Samsung T7 Portable SSD by Taras Buria During the ongoing memory crisis, where RAM and storage get extremely expensive, it is hard to find a good deal on an internal or portable SSD. While we are far away from 2024 prices, Samsung is currently offering a big discount on its 1TB T7 Portable SSD, saving you 31% or $85. The discount applies to the 1TB variant, which, although not record-breaking, is still plenty for all sorts of data. The drive uses a USB-C port for universal compatibility and high-speed data transfer of up to 1,050 megabytes per second. Samsung claims this drive is nearly ten times faster than a conventional hard drive, plus you get all the benefits of solid-state memory, such as better drop and shock resistance. There is also the ability to password-protect the drive, and you get extra peace of mind with a limited three-year warranty. The Samsung T7 Portable SSD works with all modern computers and tablets, including iPhones, iPads, Android smartphones, and more. And thanks to the two bundled USB cables (Type-C and Type-A), you can use the T7 even with devices that lack USB Type-C ports. The T7 Portable is available in three colors and four storage configurations, but unfortunately, only the 1TB Titan Gray is discounted: 1TB Samsung T7 Portable SSD - $189.98 | 31% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

      Plenty of nations have risen from the ashes of war and today they have high standards of living. Maybe the problem is that your government is run by corrupt and power hungry terrorist organizations that keep the country in the **** because all they care about is filling up their pockets and maintaining their power instead of actually managing the country for the benefit of everyone. Just ask Russians, North Koreans, Iranians, Cubans, Venezuelans and Nicaraguans, etc.
