R U Sure it won't be evil? 
I just downloaded "vista_vs_for_windows_8_1"
Replaced IMAGE 808 with a darker png taskbar. It does not have glass color anymore, but that's ok.
More interested in original type look anyway. |

Obviously not the best, just realized I made a boo boo.
Regular selector has a wrong size mask reference, where it should be no mask.
The best is Ivos' program, as it is smart enough to know, fix it, and carry on,
by ommitting it, without crashing.
I fixed it now. |

Hi Splitwirez.
If anything, the last one is the one that appeals to me, as I'm somewhat biased to anything blue.
And it doesn't have the original dirty top bar. Looks clean and fresh.
Just need to push the padding a bit on the left and right edges. |
