a windows8 skin on windows7 1.But what would we do with the startmenu? A similar look as Start8 offers or should it have "0" opacity or should it be one giant solid block with a similar style to the windows8 startmenu with the background background and if so which one? 2.What main color would you prefer? Windows8 adjusts the color automatically so it fits the wallpaper. 3.Should it have solid windowframes on active windows or slighty transparent ones? ( windows8 ) has sol

[quote who="2of3" reply="2" id="3485888"] I do not claim that that skin (Solid State) is compatible with windows 8/start8. It's probably the skin.....I'll look into it. [/quote] NO no 2of3 - please dont take this personal that i took your theme for the screeny, please dont, your a master and it has 100% nothing to do with your skin your skin is badass and rocks! And if it works on 7 it should work on 8... It happens with every skin in my arsenal... <br /

[quote who="WOM" reply="134" id="3482927"] A lot of people say ...oh what a great looking skin. I give it [e digicons]5*[/e] Most are looking at the preview and once that starts most just join the crowd.

It has more to do with the external hard drives or network drives that need to be searched when you start, if you have shortcuts created for them, this is the reason why it takes a little longer to load Fences, and also why Fences cant advance to show, in this process the required data is missing and Fences cant be displayed because it needs all the information before it can show all fences, in this process the explorer.exe is restarted (right click on the desktop), however, in my experience

The screeny pic above is the worst nightmare ever ^ half/half is the most horrible a smart thing would be to let the user choose what startmenu they want, even though some might like the modern apps in their SM i think it is just not the right menu for it, i prefer the win8 start over this tiny menu ande seeing the modern apps cramped in it gives me the chills... [e digicons]:banhammer:[/e] If there will be no option to choose the standart win7 or win8 startmenu ill stick with 8 until a
