I changed my hard disk, and my donation.key doesn't works
what should I do? please help
the wonders of the 'donation' system - i think you need to go to his site and de activate that key and get a new one - no idea how long that takes - has always seemed a poor system to me but it seems others are happy with it [or maybe not!]

get this after last windows 10 update
version 1.4
if thats with an update then you have a problem - if the update is via the insider program then maybe using search would have saved a post

Check/correct your AppInit_DLLs values (both 32 and 64 bit), then reboot
What are the correct values for the registry ?
NVM found it !! C:\AEROGLASS\ModernFrame.dll
For me:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]
"AppInit_DLLs"="C:\\AeroGlass\\UxThemeSignatureBypass64.dll C:\\AeroGlass\\ModernFrame.dll"
"LoadAppInit_DLLs"=dword:00000001
"RequireSignedAppInit_DLLs"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]
"AppInit_DLLs"="C:\\AeroGlass\\UxThemeSignatureBypass32.dll"
"LoadAppInit_DLLs"=dword:00000001
"RequireSignedAppInit_DLLs"=dword:00000000

is all of that needed - i have the first line of the first block only and even then adding it as a reg edit is no good [i think] as i already have an entry in Appinit for my video card so would that not get deleted if it was done as a script file

@NoelC
error was in Appinit - i had changed it to correct string or thought i had but whatever i did it was still at the install string which would seem to be wrong - changed it to
C:\AeroGlass\UxThemeSignatureBypass64.dll C:\AeroGlass\ModernFrame.dll
and white text

Adacom: The released version gives me white text, so that's probably not it.
Make sure to check what colors you have set in both the system-wide and user settings.
-Noel
thanks - will do some checking - just run the debug version and thats also black text so it looks as though its me - first look says settings are correct but i have been messing with other things in the registry plus building my own theme and theme atlas so guess i got something wrong
i backup every couple of days so will go back to earlier installs and see if that solves it

the dark modern frame title started overnight or within the last 24 hours - before that with the modernframe.dll included in the installer am pretty sure titles were white - so something has broken it - its no big deal - white is better for my theme - i was more interested in checking if others had seen the same
as to the rest of Noel's post above - i had used the installer so got the updated modern frame and the wrong App_Init string
interested to check the debug version of modernframe - if that gives white text then will run that
0 -
has an update broken or at least changed modernframe - up to a day or so ago the title text was white - its now black - may well be something i have done as i have been messing but before i go looking can anyone confirm

i have had no problems with any of the builds for 10240 - so a release would suit me - nothing is ever 100% but this looks pretty near
0 -
And? There is no reason to support this build.
hmmmm - surely that would depend how easy the fix is and if that fix did not break Aeroglass for 10240 - if the build is solid then dont you think Microsoft will push it out as an update fairly quickly
0 -
build 149 looks fine to me - but then so did the earlier ones - the extra bits to play with work - am learning about system metrics - seems to give many possibilities without having to build a new theme

the problem is not Glass it's the GUI.
I checked the registry since I had on in my my WIn8.1 as well.
in fact a while ago (to be exact version 1.3.0 on win8.1) you set the new default for Glass on Battery to that it wont disable (see your changelog), and instead of setting the reg setting explicitly to 1 it just deletes the value, in other wordsyou version of the GUI assumes the default to "disable it" and therefore it has problems with the "newer" versions of glass...
so @adacom go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/DWM (if the DWM key doesnt exist just create it) and then create a 32-bit value "DIsableGlassOnBattery" and set it to 1.
@bm the best way would be assuming nothing at all and just setting the value no matter whether or not it's the default.
@My1 - that works perfectly thanks - plus as i am sure you know once the key is added the toggle in AeroglassGUI works - again as you said earlier it does not affect the taskbar but the windows headers - thats fine for me - i use it as a warning that the power lead has come loose
@BM - yes it does add a dozen lines of text in the debug window when i unplug the power lead but as said before the reg edit it did nothing
0 -
Just for reference, Aero Glass doesn't use measurably more battery power than if it's not running.
-Noel
and for further reference i know that and do not want it for that - its a useful feature to tell me if the power lead has come out or is not fully in
1 -
the taskbar is transparent in w10 from the start, you rather have to look at the title bars of the windows and stuff...
nothing changes on the screen when i unplug the power lead
0 -
battery mode still does not work for me - no difference to taskbar with power cable removed - can someone confirm either way - may well be something i am running - would like to know and i can investigate
0 -
This thing is still under development so it makes no sense to explain it now
currently, it is just rectangles and margins extracted from theme.ahhh i see - well i think i do - will await further info as and when

for my knowledge what does - RequireSignedAppInit_DLLs do - seems to work the same with or without it in registry
0 -
is the back arrow part of modernframe.dll - i notice that when i open a frame the arrow initially is white and then goes black - could it be forced or set to white
0 -
I Found it works better like this:
C:\AeroGlass\UxThemeSignatureBypass64.dll C:\AeroGlass\ModernFrame.dll
that is reversed from what you have.have done that - yours seems more logical - has still not given me a different coloured header as NoelC's screen grab above
EDIT
so simple when you know how and i have just worked it out - my colur choice for borders etc is/was the same as my header colours - so looked the same
change the border colour and its sorted - i always ask what have i done wrong as the problem is mostly me

is it possible to change text colour of title in modern frame - not sure if its a theme thing or set in registry - maybe neither
It is global, and you can set with AeroglassGUI.
caption colour is set to white which works on all window - my pc - networks etc but in modern frame caption colour and arrow are black - i use dark colours as headers so black is no good
if its global what am i missing
Maybe you haven't downloaded the DLL tool to bypass UXTheme signature verification.
not sure - have been away from playing with Aeroglass for a while so am happy to say the problem is me
i have C:\\AeroGlass\\ModernFrame.dll, C:\AeroGlass\UxThemeSignatureBypass64.dll in the registry - modern frame works in that i get glass effect at the top - but looking at NoelC pic above i have something wrong - the glass on mine is the same colour as the windows glass - cannot see how he has got his blue - and as said title text is black whilst all other window title text is blue
sure the problem is me but cannot see it at the moment
EDIT
solved part of it i was using an old version of UxThemeSignatureBypass64 - updated and the text is white - arrow is black but i think thats as it is but how do i get a different colour to the 'normal' windows headers

there was no entry in the registry
adding - DisableGlassOnBattery with a value of 1 did nothing
your utility reports
current power status (1 - 0) is 0, 1
EDIT
way above what i understand about the registry but as said the key is not there - checked after a reboot and key is there but glass still working in battery mode - but if i then run AeroglassGUI which gives me 2 modes - current user or system wide settings - choosing either and then looking back in the registry the key has gone - that explanation may not be 100% but its the right direction
so is it me - something in the GlassGUI or microsoft - its no big deal but i did find it useful to indicate if the power lead had come ot

no, it should be still same... what's the problem: glass does not disable on battery or glass doesn't enable when not on battery?
glass does not disable on battery - tried it on 2 different systems - both Dell but vastly different laptops - am no expert on the install so as i always say it may be me - i installed an earlier version and then updated the files
have just double checked as i type this - disable transparency box is ticked in your AeroglassGUI - unplugged the battery and glass still works

they should not be needed - fine have a key but [imo] they should not be locked to changeable hardware such as a hard drive or anything else - all it does is alienate people - for a piece of software thats unlocked by donation its ridiculous - if the model is donation then fine - make it that but dont wrap it up with keys that stop working
