It's not a feature that has been added to WinCustomize. Many newer skins should be compatible with Windows 8 and it's always best to check the skin description first.

Yes, I did and to be honest, best way is the latest updates option, because after page 4-5 (35-50 themes) you might as well give up finding a Windows ready 8 or 8.1 theme.

 

Only the recent updated sometimes say they are 8.1 compatibel.

I downloaded WB when I was still on XP, about 4-5 years ago, can not remember ever paying for it, but did pay for some themes, still in my account.

I did not mind to pay the $9.99 for WB, just did today, but keep on track and make search easy for newbies and existing customers.

 

If StarDock and WB and Theme Designers are to lazy to update their theme or text/explanation, well their problem when somebody wants to do a search.

 

Be honest, most themes used are only from the same always top 10-20 Designers, whom have free and paid themes.

 

Work with it or not.

 

When still on XP as I mentioned before I gave up on WB, I even deleted the install file, when I got this new computer.

Maybe I shouldn't have, then I might not had to spend $9.99 again today.

 

STARDOCK and WINDOWBLINDS are providing a paid service so stay up to date or make all free

Win 7 themes work on my Win 8 machine and some XP themes.

 

AND don't yell, it gets you no where.

You are right Monty, not yell, stardock or WB or theme designers won't care one way or another.

But be honest, would it not be nice to have a real search and any theme 8-8.1 compatible would mention that.

It is not like 8-8.1 just came out last month. They have had YEARS of time already.

 

It is a matter of principal when providing a paid for service.

I am sure the 10-20 main designers would be happy to comply, with updating their description ...

This theme works with XP, W7, W8 and W8.1

I have better things to do then check if it works on my 8.1 or not.

IF it works, update the FFSFUD (too many f and bad words, besides Description)

 

Thank you for your time to update your added theme O:)

All Win7 themes should work fine on Windows 8/8.1
