- /!\ No seriously this isn't a WIP, I dont use Windows 8 and most of the shit on nanami-tan.info is still applicable. /!\
- Branched from: http://pastebin.com/W0SsUtEH (nanami-tan.info)
- Windows 8 is getting more attention, and I'd rather not ignore the topic - So here are some links to basic guides, utilities, and other customization information. I don't have Windows 8, nor do I plan on installing it anytime in the future (I'd try Linux before then) so any contribution to this page is appreciated.
- *Fair warning: Most people are still trying to charge for themes and utilities.*
- [spoiler]Most of this information was found on google.[/spoiler]
- Yes, bblean can work on Windows 8. Stop asking, you probably won't find any help with this.
