Yeah. Don't see why not. I'm not using 8.1 yet but from what I hear it's not much different from 8.

You'd need:  

1) Latest WSB: http://vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=1959.0
2) Theme Patcher: http://www.intowindows.com/download-uxtheme-patcher-for-windows-8-1/ ( I hear this works. Uxstyle isn't updated yet)
3) Glass for your frames etc: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/163570-aero-glass-for-win81-rtm-alpha-1/page-2
4) Start Menu: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/163489-startisback-rc3/

As usual be careful. Always have a restore point. Most of it should port except for DWM stuff etc. I'd recommend porting it manually  just to be safe.

Have fun and good luck Smiley

I tried with my OS X visual style from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 but it doesen't work at all. I installed UltraUXThemePatcher first.
Would you try to apply my attached OS X visual style on your Windows 8 / Windows 8.1, only to check if it's works, please ?
Thank you so much

It works: http://i.cubeupload.com/ziCwEA.png

Start menu is a tad off but this is a 3rd party program so I don't know if the issue is because of that or something else.

When importing did you follow these steps? http://vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=1895.0

Also you have to manually copy over the Shell folder from C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Aero to the location where you saved it.

Thanks a million, Panda X, i'm very happy, i thought it's impossible to make it works from W7 to W 8 / W 8.1
I will give it another try, step by step as you described.When i'm done, i'll report here, later.
Thanks again

Did you remember the step about replacing your shell folder with a copy of the one the in 8.1 aero folder?

Will it test? Or will it neither test or apply?
