Thank you. Yes, this theme is kinda personal & is customized with Icons/Wallpaper/Mouse Pointers/Skin well according to my needs for a better aesthetic feel. What widgets are you using? Widgets are a part of Rainmeter skin.

Here's mine.

So am I.

After installing this Month's Patch Tuesday updates, Symbols were automatically downloaded. Is this only me & is normal behaviour 0r not?

Have a look at this screenshot. As you can clearly see, there are 125+ Open Tabs & all of them are resource hungry. When Aero Glass is not installed, I am not experiencing any Memory Hog issues. Problem only starts when Aero Glass is installed / enabled. You might want to look at my post #1909, I already mentioned that this all begins with AG. AeroGlass + Chrome (with NO extensions, NOR user scripts) -- issue persists even after disabling / deleting all the addons 0r when trying in incognito Mode. Just because it is Chrome's problem. If it is problem of Aero Glass then it would influence also other applications. But when Aero Glass is not installed, I am not experiencing any RAM Spikes. Like I mentioned earlier, this particular issue is plaguing Google Chrome only. Here's the List of Extensions & Userscripts currently installed on my system. I see no ram issues in these shots. I do however see that you hate ads with a near total OCD problem. Do you really need a dozen or so ad block programs? Ads - OCD? -- LMAO! Generally, I tend to download stuff from s***ty File Hosters e.g. DataFile Host / Solidfiles / Tusfiles etc. who First try to offer their Download Managers (PUP's) instead of Direct download links 0r the contents are mostly well hidden behind paid-Redirect cashfly / adf.ly / linkbucks links (When stealing / downloading Android Applications from Android-Zone ). To overcome this, I personally prefer to use UserScripts (Adware Atomizer / Ad Host Cleaner / Yet Another Download helper etc. - as depicted in screenshot). In such scenarios, these Scripts plays a viable role & makes downloading so much fun. User has to simply click on the corresponding link, after then there's no need to wait / skip paid redirection links 0r need to click on download. The said UserScripts will take care of everything, Ultimately all you get is - Desired File, Which is automatically grabbed by Browsers' built in Download Manager 0r by IDM Extension.

Just because it is Chrome's problem. If it is problem of Aero Glass then it would influence also other applications. But when Aero Glass is not installed, I am not experiencing any RAM Spikes. Like I mentioned earlier, this particular issue is plaguing Google Chrome only. Here's the List of Extensions & Userscripts currently installed on my system.

So how come I am having so much troubles / issues with Chrome Browser only? JFTR, till Now haven't faced any issues whatsoever with Mozilla Firefox 0r IE11.

While using Aero Glass with Google Chrome (multiple Tabs), RAM usage suddenly skyrockets. Earlier this issue was reported by some of the Google Chrome users but was left unsolved. I have thoroughly tested this behaviour With and Without Aero Glass and finally figured out that AG is the Culprit. Please fix this.

Please do something about high RAM usage issue while using Google Chrome.

That is what I get too, I thought I fixed it by editing TextGlowMode but after a restart it was back, I fixed it again by restarting DWM and changing the registry, Not sure what's going on. Maybe it's a race condition? Does it read TextGlowMode from HKLM also or only HKCU? see:
