    Yep, I got it, but there are always two ways how to deal with problems:
    1. The way how this theme is made :D
    2. Proper way :D

    o_O Your using a old version since then like 10 updates have been released, Also i like the dark gray inactive boarders because i only use black and always will, and its based off the RP so the active boarder color can be set darker than what the RTM theme can be.

    Border Padding no longer can be set in the gui so you have to use :

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics

    Change PaddedBorderWidth to 0 (can be anything from -1500 to -1).

    Want to get focus follows mouse back (Without autoraise). Has anyone done this.

    Thanks for the tip! I don't know what border padding is though, I mean, padding for what borders? Please could you clarify so I am not missing anything! :rolleyes:

    Got some problems with some icon text in windows explorer and Desktop. Like the text from the folder Downloads breaks into 2 lines.
    The first line of the folder Downloads would be Download and the second line would be the letter s. That only occours in the middle size icon view. Is there a way to fix that somewhere in the registry? It just look bad when the icon text looked broken.

    Hi

    This windows 8 config menu. That comes out the right side. Is there a way of lowering the icons or is this an attack on logitech and my dell 30" monitor? The metro os system should this not be called full screen #1 not windows 8. How do I kill a metro app w/o shoven it out the left side? I have so many folders.

    Regards

    I didn't make the theme man i just use it Nighthawk-F22 did, and if you look at the inactive color its more than 1 color code meaning its a image the closest i could get was ColorizationColor=0XD9191919 this was going over the bar in PS testing each color.
