It's not needed. Transparency/blur effect is automatically disabled when running on battery. This should be fixed. At least, I cannot reproduce it anymore when "Fast startup" is enabled in control panel. On my system i enable "fast boot" in bios... Where you find this option in control panel? Can you give a screen?

Oooo, how you became a "licensed user"? I donated a few monthes ago, but i only make this for great work of author! And He make me a bonus (license key file) for additional options. But it is free software and there is no license at all? Or i missing something?

Thanks for new version! It works! What about minidump that creates every fast shutdown?

+1 For me too.

And UxTheme service hook - Visual Theme Signature Bypass BY bigmuscle. http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/170945-uxtheme-signature-bypass/ O. thanks, i didn't know about it.. Now i change to 1.1 version.

Thanks a lot! I waited this thing!

How you launch metro app in window?

I use rc1 version because of using "BypassThemeSignature" for 3rd party themes. UxStyle causes black screen on reboot. I can't use standard themes (or themes based on standard) - even with Aero Glass they are very ugly. So, i forced to use latest build with "BypassThemeSignature" option.

You can remove it from registry then restart. Replace file, add again registry settings and reboot to load new version...

I use square variant of theme, but i make my own style using xXiNightXx theme and add glowing caption battons from theme MrGRiM01

Actually, any update which breaks something on which the hooking depends will result in hook failure and black screen on startup.My solution just hooked LoadLibraryExW function in every process and redirected to my DLL anytime it wanted to load some of the theme service's library. Because LoadLibraryExW is called very often, it degraded performance of every process a lot. I don't noticed perfomance drop when i enable bypass theme signature in rc1. Still suing it because standart/rp/atlases looks ugly. Another quastion: How to make atlas from custom theme? Simple saving STREAM 986 (or equal) not work because elements of atlas not match standart Windows 8.1 theme. Who can helps to make atlas from e.g. this theme: http://xxinightxx.deviantart.com/art/Aero-8-1-Windows-8-1-413881040

You can use UltraUXThemePatcher instead. UxStyle doesn‘t work for me either. After some Windows update it will cause a black screen at boot when update change files, that patcher patches.

I can't, because a) Aero Glass is DWM hook only and B) there is no correct way how to inject DLL into all processes in the system. I don't undestand - in rc1 and early builds you make it and all works fine. Why you can't do this in release for thom who use registry injecting? Because it requires old unsecure injecting into every process which only messes your system and is against the logic of my Aero Glass extension. And as I said many times - my Aero Glass is only extension to Desktop Window Manager and not multi-functional software which is even able to make a coffee. It's sad ((( I don't know how it was made in Windows 7 (through DWM or something else), but complex of Aero features (Glass, Shake, Peek, Snap, Flip3D, Blur behind taskbar) made Windows 7 most beautiful version at all. And i think that goal of this project is to archive most of features Windows 7 for next versions of Windows. Now i see that this project make less and less features because of some sort of limitations. At least it will do nothing because it is not a part of DWM or something else... Sad ((((. Can i pay you for tool or library or another way that will be bypass theme signatures through your method? And how much if you can find time for this?

I'd return to rc1 because of using non standard themes and uxstyle causes my system black screen at restart system. BM, plz return bypassing theme signatures back, your way works good - no black screens on any boot/restart. I think many users of Aero Glass uses another themes - they are looks better, and if you return this thing - i will donate one more time ).

Thanks, I finally found the problem. Your aerohost.exe is not running under SYSTEM account, but under its localized version СИСТЕМА which is the problem. Does certain localization really translate even default system names? I guess that everyone who has the same problem just use Russian localization. What we can do with СИСТЕМА account? Maybe you can change account for aero to TrustedInstaller, for example?

First after install (i use registry injection, because after setup the same problem as was wroted there allready - aerohost launches but don't work) i encountered this problem too - buggy glow text, the same error in debug log. After i delete symbol directory (it's was from previous versions - not delete it it all before) and restart dwm.exe, symbols was loaded (i have donation key) and bugs with glow are gone and error in debug log was gone too. Currently not, because it would require AppInit_DLLs injection again. Maybe you can make dll for injection for temporary use? Until you decide what do with this function in future?

to create a DWORD from a HIWORD and LOWORD, you can use this equation: HIWORD * 65536 + LOWORD = your DWORD (in this, case HIWORD is the size of glow you want, LOWORD is 3, and the resulting DWORD is the number you hace to use in Registry) So, if i want to make size of glow 2, then 2*65536 + 3 = 131075. This DWORD is 0x00131075 ?

What mean HIWORD of value in "TextGlowMode"? I have DWORD value 0x00000003. How i can increase glow size?

Thanks for final release! What about additional library or tool for bypassing verifying theme signature?

It's possible to make atlas from the theme? And how?

I'm interested, please do it.

Verify, is TMT support Windows 8/8.1. For media players it's important. Windows 7 support may be not enough for 8/8.1. Anyway, this is TMT problem (this is some type of media player i think) or his settings. Try use another player, Cyberlink, for example. I use Light Alloy - no problems at all.
