kyolic Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Yep it is a pain with the pop-ups and ORelio hit the nail on the head from his post #101 , also about my rounded corner theme Kyolic just a theme I made from a few bing papers, seems when I am posting tho it does show rounded corners but non-rounded most time see image below..Here is the Bing theme I am using also.. https://www.yousendit.com/download/UVJpT201Y3l6NFBFdzhUQwhttp://img69.imagesh...ndedcorners.jpgThis doesn't seem to be a real round corner. There must be a round corner theme somewhere! No one knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmuscle Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 It's not probably anywhere, just because Win8 does not support it at all - you must use tweak in my utility to apply rounded corners. Else... even if you modify theme texture, Win8 will still colorize whole rectangular area and even if you force Win8 not to colorize it (e.g. color is hardcoded in theme), it won't redraw that missing part of the corner (because the occlusion management will still take whole rectangle).

MagicAndre1981 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 uxstyle never worked for me correctly. I use a tool from Andreas Verhoeven (which he has now sold, so the tol is gone, but it still works) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORelio Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Exactly, no system files are modified, that's an additional service that run on windows startup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
