I got it to work on Windows 7 though I don't remember exactly how. And to some extent they would come and go.
But I've just finished installing 8.1 and have most of the visual style finished, just the live folders to go and I'd rather not buy one of the apps just to do it.
I'm sure this has been well explained somewhere, can anyone point me to a reliable tutorial?
I've tried:
Resource Hacker to put the new icons in the imageres.dll file,
Adding the registry keys as shown at Change Windows 8 icons trough registery - OS Customization, Tips and Tweaks - Neowin Forums .
These steps seem familiar to me from doing it with Windows 7, but I can't get them to change over this time.
TIA for any help!
