Hello, Is there a way to keep Startisback from changing the default Start button? I don't want to use customized button.

What are you using to display various system specs on the desktop? I guess it's Rainmeter but what skin?

Thanks. As for tab backgrounds I recommend using this.

Does anyone know why aero glass doesn't apply to Firefox? It applies to Modern Apps with no problem.

Nicely done. Just a suggestion, maybe you should include that link in your signature (something like "Aero Glass FAQs. Read before asking").

Not sure if this is what you want but try this: Right-click desktop -> Personalize -> Windows -> Color Choose any color except the automatic one, then set the color intensity (the slider) to the lowest value. Save changes. Now the border is completely see-through regardless of what your wallpaper is or whether the window is focused or not.

Off-topic: Which app are you using to display cpu, ram & gpu usage?

Guess he mistakes your title (Junior - since you've only 69 posts so far) for your name

I don't know whether this is by design but whenever I installed some updates (which require restart) and then turned off my computer (Start menu -> Shut down), the updates won't be applied. And they will never be applied until I do a proper "restart" (once I got a notification that installed updates from weeks ago were still not applied). If it is by design then can you implement some options (like "Shut down and apply updates", "Shut down without applying updates", etc.)?

Part of this would be Softpedia's and other download sites' fault. Listing BM's AG on their sites would make everyone think it's just some kind of conventional, 1-click and install-and-forget software. They should at least warn people about that it is not intended for non-power users.

Bitdefender might be the cause. It run nicely at first but after a while it could slow your computer down. Try uninstall Bitdefender and see if it helps solve the problem. Also, not all startup items are shown in Task Manager Startup tab. Maybe tons of services are set to automatic startup, slowing down your boot time.

Not sure about it being the best or not since I'm using MS Office but you could give KingSoft Office free edition a try: http://www.ksosoft.com/product/office-freeIt's pretty lightweight (about 40MB) and compatible with MS Office. Although the 2013 version has a ribbon interface, you can dig around the net for some old versions featuring classic toolbar (in case your wife has already been familiar with Word Perfect interface).

^: navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM, change the DisableGlassOnBattery key value from 1 (enabled) to 0 (disabled).

Would be more useful if you include which version of Aero Glass for Windows 8.1 this configurator works best on and which version is currently installed on the user's system (and maybe display a warning or disable the whole thing if the configurator is outdated), so that if BM were to decide to change some key name people would be less likely to run into problems.
