Huh, I do not understand the problem - you install debug version and then complain that it displays debug window? Maybe, I should select the testers more carefully next time.

Those apps render the whole titlebar on their own (its color seems to be something from the theme). There is a registry settings not to do it, but when I change it, modern apps don't start at all due to Access violation in ApplicationFrameHost.exe

In such case: Could you enable the verbose logging? (See the guide how to do it) Provide debug.log then. Check that your internet connection to MS servers is not blocked, dbghelp.dll and symsrv.dll files are present in C:\AeroGlass folder and ensure that this folder (and also C:\AeroGlass\symbols) has the permission to be written by everyone. Many people install Aero Glass into Program files (although the guide says not to do it), which is not writable by DWM !!!

32-bit preview for testers uploaded

yes, but it will ignore the alpha component of the color.

Yeah, I made some improvements to it to allow custom color settings. Now it does not use the DWM's default 235,235,235 but just lighters the active color to have at least something useful when custom inactive color is not set.

Works nicely on Win 10 6.4.9860.Works nicely on Win 8.1 6.3.9600The only thing I saw was that on my 8.1 test system, Aero Glass had been coming up without the nag dialog before, but the new version failed to load license.key (which I'd had on there since early in your Aero Glass development). Apparently your software now ONLY uses donation.key (I remember you saying you'd change it to do that). Easily solved by renaming the file. I'm not able to make the window borders on Win 10 inactive windows as dark/transparent as I've done on Win 8.1. This is not a new issue with this version. You said there was some limitation with the Win 10 version, right? I take it you've not been able to work around it? Not a big deal; inactive windows are just gray (on a dark background) instead of black. -Noel Yes, only donation.key now. Changing the inactive colour is currently not possible on Win10 - or better, it is possible but because it is not possible to change the transparency level (you can distinguish between active and inactive frame), other colors than the default 235,235,235 looks very bad so I left the default value.

New preview uploaded for the testers. Now it is one generic library which is able to run on both Win8.1 6.3.9600 and Win10 TP 6.4. It contains new features such as garbage collector for Direct2D resources to improve performance when moving windows between several displays.

It will rather be the second preview for the testers (The 1st preview was just to test the functionality. The 2nd preview is completion of everything). But if there is no important bug in it, the same version will be marked as beta and provided to the others.

Good news. I might provide new beta after I test it. It will include also all additional stuff which should be released in upcoming release.

I'm not going to hardcode symbol patterns until final Win10 RTM is released. Thus you need to wait for MS to release appropriate symbol packages.

dAKirby309: is it too hard to read several pages back? If people asks one same thing over and over again (and they don't read the first/second post at all) then you should not be surprised that you will not be able to find the answer...

Could you enable the verbose logging? (See the guide how to do it). There is something wrong, because it didn't try to load symbols at all. Check that your internet connection to MS servers is not blocked, dbghelp.dll and symsrv.dll files are present in C:\AeroGlass folder and ensure that this folder (and also C:\AeroGlass\symbols) has the permission to be written by everyone.

Provide the debug.log, because this should not happen if the key is correctly loaded. Of course, you are right! Nag should not be in a donationware and that's why this software has never been advertised as "donationware". Dot. Not so often? Of course, if you are rebooting your computer twenty times per day then it can be so often - but this is not the problem of this utility. Dot.

Actually I am not responsible for any stability problems on someone's computer...

It is not about what I like or nor or what I want everybody to pretend. Users should be aware that they are not buying the regular application but experimental software which can stop working on any Windows update. Everything is described here: http://glass8.eu/support.php And no, minimum amount is not 3€. It is much lower, but I will not specify it because there would be many use who would abuse it.

Try to create minidump file and upload it. Maybe it will contain something important.

Really? So are you saying that as a paid customer you have access to all internal Windows testing builds?

mufunyo: check that your donation key is valid, because it probably is not - no error message is currently logged when it does not match.

I think that border metrics are hardcoded in .msstyles theme

Windows 10 TP atlas is here, if someone wants to play with it: http://glass8.eu/themes/win10tp.png

It seems to be a bug in my script. I try to fix it as soon as possible. Only users who sent me PM with their e-mail got it. You can extract it from aero.msstyles file.
