Windows 8 startscreen for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8:)


How to use:
First of all download Avedesk 1.3 here[link]
Install it and run the proggy one times to get rid of the intro.
Than copy and paste the Avedesk exe to the main folder of this deviation.
Click on the exe and it should run.:)
If not the controlpanel of Avedesk will appear and you have to load the theme manually.


Why do i call it SDK (Self Development Kit)?
Because you can use it as it is, or modify it to your likings. Build your own personal startscreen if you want.
Versions already included Developer preview
Consumer preview
Release preview
RTM
Warning: Big file size 80 mb
Basic knowledge of customisation needed.


:devart: download is only a dummy download for the people who don't read descriptions.Cannot upload the original file because of DA's fantastic upload policy.:(

Watch the preview on Youtube here [link]

See tutorial how to use/modify here[link]


:new:Download the real file from my skydrive here"[link]

So ok what if we have windows 8. I'm kind of curious on getting this so I can make an xbox related start screen what do you think?

Normally this isn't meant to be used with Windows8, but it works. Of course you can make a xbox related startscreen. The limit is your ability to make your imaginations come true.
Good luck.:)

You have to learn first how Avedesk works first. Also it would be good to have some knowledge of java scripting.

The file size is 80 mb. Best way is to click download and go to bed. Next morning it shouldd be done. That's how i handled it in earlier times.
