Etz Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) Started to test latest W7T on Windows 8 Pro and found some stuff, that is probably Win 8 specific.1) Adding Themes (themepacks) works, setting default theme doesnt (removes that theme from Personalization theme list instead)(Broken Theme file, this specific theme doesnt work on Win7 either)2) Logon Background and Setup background changing doesnt work.3) Switching to 64-bit WMP doesnt work, has no effect at all, this option doesnt even exist anymore.Basically all is pretty much as expected, if I have investigated how to fix those write into this topic.Maybe detection mechanism is needed, if working on Windows 8 images provide "modified tweaks" for things that work differently on Windows 8, also then on Windows 8 new dism could be used, which makes removals lot easier?

gahhrryy Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Using Win Toolkit 1.4.0.77 on Win 8 Pro and noticed the following dependencies: 1) Disable UAC: UAC is required to run Modern/Metro Apps. 2) Turn off Windows Firewall: Windows Firewall needs to be running to be able to install Windows Updates and to update or install Modern/Metro apps.

mightymo77 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Can you re-enable UAC on Windows 8 if you accidentally disabled it in Win Toolkit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashfly Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 cant wait for Win 8 Toolkit.Technically, WinToolKit already works just fine on a Windows 8 image. Only some of the tweaks cannot be used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etz Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Technically it works on windows 8.1 also, only removals dont. You only have to use it on the very same Host OS due to newer Dism requirement as it doesnt allow you to choose dism.exe location.Hence you are limited to using OS built in version. (Change has been requested to make it possible to select it) Edited December 10, 2013 by Etz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolash2o Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I've just replaced Universal Theme Patcher with another program which has Win8/8.1 support. It will be in Beta 3. alfreire 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
