    @GK
    Looks nice.

    @zergut
    Currently only above mentioned theme is available. If I come across any such theme, will let you know.

  4. ^^ You can disable background services to improve performance and free up memory. Check out Apps section to disable unwanted apps. Regarding rooting, there are many apps available to root mobile phone but I have not tested them.

  5. After the Windows 8.1 Update 1, using Royal Blue theme, prevents the context menu from being displayed after right clicking on a tile. Can anyone else confirm this?

  6. ^^ Old Windows 8.1 themes will need to be updated to support context menus on tiles introduced in Windows 8.1 Update 1. You should wait and hope that the theme developer updates the themes.

  7. Hello sir VG! Do you have any Windows 8 and 8.1 Classic theme for Windows Xp. Coz I want my laptop to be fast and at the same time look like Windows 8. 🙂

  8. i was curious how you got the rounded edges on the windows in windows 8 and 8.1 in these pictures. i cant find out how to do it
