This image was leaked on a brand new Windows 8 information site called http://www.WinUnleaked.tk . It also features a picture of Windows 8 build 7950. I did not make this site.

Seems like there is not too much colors to choose (unlike aero where you have a color mixer).

Probably because Aero doesn't change the buttons and other controls which remain blue. Since all the colors in the start screen are various colors it has to be a set rather than one main color you can't have a mixer without inconsistency. Though I will grant Microsoft could've made it to where it offset the colors or used overlays to change that but they didn't so that's a loss.

New info:
Quote:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Accent]

« ColorSet »=dword:00000000

Change value to 1, 2, 3 … to use another color set.

This is pretty cool, can't wait to find out more... :P

Windows unleaked is a bit misleading in my opinion... But I suppose they might have received a leak, and now they are unleaking it by telling everyone about it but not distributing it. Interesting.

It's for 814x, not for the Windows Developer Preview.

Exactly, and that's the good thing. We are going to good mostly likely valid information as he's got insides at Microsoft IIRC.

I'll believe that when a reputable source confirms it or when the build leaks.

I think you can't get this color set in the WDP.

Windows to Go first appeared in Windows 8 M1 - M2 - early M3 builds as Portable Workspace Creator. In late M3 builds the PWCREATOR was gone. Now, in PreBeta staging is back as Windows to Go. It can be used via Desktop Control Panel (control.exe).
