    Does this work with the RTM? I can't seem to figure out how to get it to work. Also is there a way to convert Windows 7 themes over to Windows 8? I patched the files btw :)

    Hi ... I don't understand the instruction... perhaps someone can guide ?

    I downloaded the zip file and inside I found X64 patched DLL directory ( 3 files inside )

    Readme say
    ---

    Patch:

    1) Replace dll(s) ---------------- Where to replaced the file ? I tried windows\system32 but unable to overwrite the file....

    Change to custom theme:

    1) Delete the C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\aero\VSCache\Aero.msstyles_langid_96.mss file ------------------ I cannot access the VSCache directory ....
    2) Replace aero.msstyles with cuztomized one ------------ where is the aero.msstyles file ?
    3) Select theme


    Some things to consider
    Adding new themes doesn't seem to work replace aero.msstyles or aerolite.msstyles.
    Not the most optimal solution but it works. ( Don't understand ) ..

    What language of your Windows 8?
    My Windows 8 is in English. Maybe this is cause of the problem :confused:
