    It seems like you have applied the theme wrong some how the arrow should also be white.

    Your arrow icon for the System Tray is also black which isn't right, What version and build of windows 8 are you running.

    MOSTLY...;) Wishing a theme with inverted colours all over (dark backgrounds and folder borders with light font colour), like i use in win 7. Then i will be satisfied.
    But anyways, big leap for optics :worthy:.
