Screenshot, Windows 8.0 27/06/2014

I've had to downgrade from Windows 8.1 "Update 1" down to Windows 8.0 because IconPackager won't work with anything above 8.0 (this made me really, really angry)

So this is 64-Bit Windows 8.0 Home Standard, all updates to date
You can see here some components of Stardock's "ObjectDesktop" suite:

Windows & TaskBar styling by Windowblinds (skin: "Turbo" by Stardock Designs)
Start Button/Menu by Start8 (skin: "Turbo", auto-selected by the Windowblinds theme)
Fences (The yellow square area at the top center)

you can also see in action:

• WinAmp (skin: "Multipass", which has a large selection of color schemes and effects, so it adapts well to a number of WindowBlinds skins).
• The Windows Vista Sidebar port to Windows 8 (the gadgets on the right of the desktop).
• The network activity monitor to the left of the clock/date inside the taskbar, is "Networx" in embedded mode.
