Hey everybody. I'm having some trouble with my Windows 8.1 appearance, I was just wondering if somebody could help me...

Is there any free way to get the Windows 7 aero glass into Windows 8.1?

The aero glass in Windows Explorer in Windows 7 looks like this:
An image from 'Windows 8 No Aero'. First image shows a Windows 7 desktop with the Start menu open; second is a Windows file explorer with red scribbles.


See how the outline of the program that runs the VM is aero a little bit?

Here's how it looks in Windows 8:
An image from 'Windows 8 No Aero'. First image shows a Windows 7 desktop with the Start menu open; second is a Windows file explorer with red scribbles.


Is there any freeware that will allow me to transform my Windows 8 ugliness into the Windows 7 beautiful aero glass?

Thanks! :)
