Hmmm... I don't have the Windows 10 Technical Preview right now, and I believe Microsoft will fix most, if not all of the problems my theme was intending to fix in the final version of Windows 10.

Perhaps when the final version of Windows 10 is out, then I will decide. But for now, I have no plans to update this.

Hey, sorry for the late reply. Anyway, most of the icons are taken from here: www.deviantart.com/art/MAXIMUM… . Some other icons are modded from that set, or from other icon sets. Search metro or flat in deviantART's icon category.

You flatter me. I just wanted to make something that goes better with what Microsoft probably had in mind.

Glad that you are enjoying it!

I am still using it and don't plan on changing anytime soon

I felt like telling you that seeing this theme gave me that final push to get started on updating the cursors that I've been making for over a year and a half now like I've been wanting to, ended up remaking them completely and I dig how they are looking. check them out if you want.
so #ArtIsInspirational or somthing

The taskbar buttons are as flat as they could go. I decided to keep the borders for the sake of usability and consistency - virtually all of the clickable elements in the theme have a border around them. I tried removing the border but found usability issues in some situations.

As for the border colours, I'm not so sure about that, but perhaps I could look at your mockup first before I decide?

Look at this VS arsonist1234.deviantart.com/ar…

He has made it white. What I am talking about is merge the border like this to make the windows and explorer pure flat. About color I would suggest the right click context menu color. For more clarification refer to office 2013. In other words make it like office 2013 but with right click context menu color. That color will make VS even with minimal changes.

If you still want more clarification I can provide screenshot, just let know.

Why I am suggesting this is because, your VS is top notch about usability, and I was waiting for this kind of VS for long time, even I was ready to make my own with flat windows, buttons etc just like you, but as you have done it I will use yours.

Please make this change and your vs will become pure metro.

I can also provide some help about making changes to ribbon UI to merge with metro interface.

I will wait for your reply..........awesome work

I see what you mean.

You know how to customize the ribbon UI? May I know how?

If it involves too much hacking I guess forget it. I wanted this theme to be usable with minimal fuss.

Sorry for late reply..........

Yeah ribbon UI modification needs system file modification and shellstyle.dll as far as I know, I am still working on it. If is too much you can leave it as it is. When I complete my ribbon UI modification I will send you a note on how to do this.

The border thing......if you can do it it will be awesome...........but just keep the taskbar black with white fonts. With black taskbar and border how I told you will make the theme with pure metro look and usability will not affected in any way. What do you think?

For the border thing, I may look into it in the future if there are enough requests for it or if I can find the time. For now I think I'm happy the way it is.

I will look into deglossing the taskbar buttons further. As for the HDD icons, it's from the icon set I'm using, and not exactly my fault.

About deglossing the taskbar buttons, it might help to know the High Contrast Themes that come this windows have completely opaque taskbar buttons. but if I remember correctly the High Contrast themes differ from the normal ones a lot.
That might make it hard, if not impossible to port that over without a custom shellstyle. I know a custom shellstyle is how some other themes change it.

I think the High Contrast themes are running off Aero Basic, not "true" Aero, if I'm right.

Hmmm... if there's enough requests for this I might start looking into it. For now though I think the taskbar buttons are not as glossy as it was previously already.
