Windows 8.1 showing Windows 8 Logo?

Have noticed that Windows 8.1 shows the Windows 8 logo in System Properties, I can fix this by hacking my shellbrd.dll file with the 8.1 bmp file but just wondering if there is a easier work around.

Thanks for any info on this.

Thanks, for the update (no pun intended) and If anyone wants the patched .dll file for 8.1 64-bit just let me know and I
can upload it.

Logo Patcher Script

Here is a Patcher script for 8.1 64-bit that will do the logo patching for you.

Note: If anyone has 8.1 32-bit send me the shellbrd.dll file and I can add it.

Thanks, ~DP
