Dark theme for Windows 8?
Hi,
I hope this is the correct area to ask this question I felt a kind of falls into tweaking or optimization.
I need some kind of a Windows 8 theme that is on the dark/black side.
But it's also got to actually work as close to 100% as possible.
I've got one that's called ultimate clean 8, however, it doesn't work 100%, for example;
if I were to open my control panel there is a stripe at the top and a box at the left that is not been darkened so it's a big white box on the left and big white stripe at the top and then the text that's inside of that is on a light shade of gray so it makes it near impossible to read.
And then there are other boxes or Windows that will open where it has black text on the black background of the window, I need to try to avoid that with a good quality dark/black theme for Windows 8.
The reason that I'm looking for a dark/black theme for Windows 8 is not to be cool, but rather that I spend anywhere from 6 to 18 hours a day working on my computer and it often feels like my eyes are being burned right out of my head.
And while the ultimate clean 8 theme is really nice because it makes everything really dark there's just a lot of mistakes that make it more difficult to use than it should be, for example if you open up notepad and you try to select some text on the page which is now white text on a black background inside of notepad when you select text bill only make it a shade of gray which makes it hard to make sure that you selected the right text.
So if anybody knows of a good dark/black theme for Windows 8 (even if I have to pay for it) please let me know, my eyes will be forever grateful to you.
Thanks,
I should also mention that I'm looking for a theme that themes basically everything on the Windows operating system not just something that changes some backgrounds to a darker color and maybe changes your mouse around because quite honestly I can do that without a theme.
So I'm looking for some kind of a theme that will perhaps change basically everything, for example in Windows Explorer to make it entirely black with white text things along that nature.
Attached is an image that shows just how deep I need the theme to go, for what an example of what I mean is you can see that in the image Windows Explorer as well as Notepad are completely being to a dark black color so I need a theme that will go this extensively and not just one that will change the background
