I know there's another one, but this changes less of the system.

Might try this on my TAFE machine

I remember that MrXidus made a video on Windows 8 Transformation Pack and he used this UX Pack.

will it uses some significant amount of RAM? Will it be uninstalled easily like any themes? will it creates conflicts or will it be disabled by new windows updates?

I tried a theme pack in the past and it caused too many problems. Missing icons, shortcut links, thumbnails, mess up my display settings, etc.

I recommend to make a backup image of your hard drive before installing any theme packs because System Restore did not solve all of my problems. I had to restore an backup image.

Thanks.

Agree completely with you, simplified and blazing fast is the best way!

yep, before i installed a full glass theme, everything was transparent from the contextual menu to the main windows and even the task manager, but the resources usages was...huge !

and, i can make my windows 7 transparent without any 3rd party themes, just advanced setting.

My friend from Al-Khobar used Windows 8 UX Pack and his thoughts that its a bit hard from navigating and consumes 9,000k from task manager.

So likely if the first time user uses Windows 8 may experience confusion due to the change environment.
