    It was mainly made for default color i can lower it if needed, The red close button i removed it should only be red when active or mouse over just my taste, I will add a version with a red button if you like, I mite also make a version with black windows if i have the time. :animatedwink:

    Uhhhh Yeah. More tuning sounds nice. Atm. i´m very comfort with your theme. Harmonizes well with new StartIsBack solution by Tihiy, were it´s possible even to alter the start orb now.
    System starts looking more and more the way i like. I prefer the window buttons in that dark style, changing their colour only while mouse over :D :thumbsup:.
    Regards

    Nice. What are those windows-buttons in "Folder Comparison Results" window? Have you included some "Basic" theme? :))

    I though, that in this case, the application itself draws these Basic windows... :) But for sure it was mistake...
    ...btw: so maybe you can also make variation of whole basic theme, when you already have the buttons :D
    hmmm, well done...
    ...it seems, that you also played with the difference between active and non-active windows... nice...
    now it is only same with very high color brightness... maybe you could also try that red close button ac active window...
    mmmm :)

    Hello,
    Are there any ways to change the "Start Menu" hot corner position in Win8? I'm used to have taskbar on the top of my screen and moving to the lower left corner for apps menu is just unintuitive to me. Also is it possible to display menu only by hovering over the screen corner without mouse click?
