Aero Colors theme on Windows 8

Why is it missing?

May 5, 2014 3:43:24 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I have WindowBlinds 8 installed on a Windows 7 and a Windows 8 Update 1 machine.  I see the Aero-based themes on the Windows 7 machine but not the Windows 8 machine.  Why is that?

Does anyone know of a theme for WindowBlinds that comes close to emulating what Aero looks like on Windows 7?  I'd like to get Windows 8 to look as close to looking like Windows 7 as I can get it to.  I like what Aero was and how it looked.

Windows 8.1 Up one does not support Aero. MS has removed it from the OS.

Is there any theme that you know of that comes close to replicating Aero on Windows 8?

Take a look through butch123's WB's. He made lots of clones and while none were made for Win 8, they may still work fine for that OS.

It seems that Butch123 hasn't done anything as of late.

No, but he has a few that'll do the trick. This one works well for me, on 8.1.
