    After a lot of testing the theme I liked the most in 8.1 was the Windows 8 Release Preview Theme (RP Theme) and it was designed to be used with the aero effect so I use AeroGlass. And RP theme has some bugs in 8.1 but AeroGlass comes with a very similar theme and these bugs fixed. Over time you get used to the UI although I prefer a classic start menu.

    I removed with NTLite may be that with MSMG Toolkit you can remove without problems because for 8.1 is still used DISM and the method of removing packages.

    2 Things I would like to see in Toolkit:

    - Support for older versions of Windows (7 and 8.1) with the manual removing method.
    - The option to remove Windows Update and the extra files that are kept in WinSxS for Windows Update compatibility. This greatly reduces the image size.

    7 pro has something approaching 1gb of drivers, removing 3rd party drivers alone gives a good saving without touching os components. ripping out winsxs and hard links will save a fair bit. Nuhi gives you more options and i prefer his way. :)
    I may have to test that igpu driver on 8.1 but ive got a big list and need tocatch up on a lot :(

    That's not an error related to components removed, it's a warning of duplicate ownership of files which I do see normally in my test where there are no errors shown by SFC.

    Yes for v1.0.2160.0.

    I would like to simplify the support by replacing v1903 with v1909 in future, if any one having a high-end PC with knowledge of integrating language packs and willing to help me in preparing a multi-language install.wim image then do send me a PM.
