Hey folks,
I just registered and still using Windows 7 but the other night I installed 8.1 on a second drive and after 24 hours of testing and tweaking i like the performance side of it all but my GOD is it ever ugly. There is absolutely no warmth to it whatsoever. The window borders and task bar can't be made to look smoother or softer, the corners can't be rounded with contrast added onto it.
I guess my question to everyone who has a little more experience with Win 8.1 is; Can you make it look and feel just a bit more like Win 7 in the sense that things are a bit more rounded with contrast and for lack of a better word "warmth".
It's really too bad. It's a great new powerful OS and yet in my opinion, it lacks SO MUCH.
