    Welcome to the Seven Forums

    I imported the Windows 7 taskbar images into a Windows 8 .msstyles.

    Download UxStyle Core Beta (For Windows 8 and later operating systems) UxStyle and follows this tutorial
    Enabling Custom Themes - Windows 7

    Download the zip folder at the bottom of this post, extract it to your desktop and put both the 7_Taskbar theme folder and 7_Taskbar.theme in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes

    Will show up in Personalization under Installed Theme as 7_Taskbar

    Make sure to switch to the default aero theme then logoff/logon then delete both the 7_Taskbar theme folder and 7_Taskbar.theme in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes the replace with the new 1 in the zip folder below.
