I believe you have to use the Security Tab on the properties of the 3 files

Nice Beta update.

And these go in the System 32 folder AND the SysWOW64 folder? Or Just the System32 folder?

Can you tell me the files of the ones to get from Consumer Preview other than the UIRibbon file and the corresponding mui ones from the en-US folder, just to make sure I'm getting the right ones? If you can, that'd be great. I've always remembered the Non-Flat Ribbon that use to be in Consumer Preview. I thought to myself, Why couldn't Microsoft leave that alone?

Oh, sorry. Won't happen again.

How i can have the blue like you? I have applied your reg file, but no difference. After you have Aero Glass working, meaning the window frames are transparent the Color Swatches from Windows 7,In that reg file, are suppose to work automatically, because the color info and the images from the "Color and Appearence", I believe read off the "DWMGlass.dll" file. As long as that dll file is active the new pre-set Windows 7 colors work. Whenever you have the DWMGlass.dll inactive, meaning when it's not showing Aero transparency on the window frames, there's a "Error loading Pre-set Colors message." I'm not sure if that's your case. How to the colors appear on your Color and Appearence Window? I have no errors, but if I select the third as you, it's very dark .. Whoever is automatic it is also dark more than windows 7 here's the difference.. I see, I believe it has something to do with how much the theme has changed from 6.1.7601 (Windows 7) to 6.2.9200 (Windows 8) and beyond. The colors needed to be changed as well to fit the new theme for 8 . As u see in this screenshot here, this is an older version of Windows 8, which still had the Windows 7 color swatches along with the Automatic colorization but the theme itself is still Aero built-in before it was taken out. In your picture .. the transparancy is not really there I noticed also in fact it has a transparency option. The previous pictures you put it was with windows 8.1 RTM? The picture with the Consumer Preview, the transparency is there, it's just harder to see when you're on an Active Window. This pic here, could be RTM, but then again I downloaded this via Windows Store on the day it came out on October 17th via Microsoft website. Runs a lot better than the RTM that got leaked back in September. You have the same build as me ( 9600 RTM 8.1 ) I have downloaded this iso since 3 weeks in torrent which comes from MSDN is the same thing. Can you post the files you have changed in the aero glass for this blue? and what theme you have, this is important? Not that long ago on Page 11 Post 253, Grim posted the Aero Stripes. what I did was I used the larger one, and duplicated the layers at least 4 times to make it more visible, and then planted into the DWMGlass.dll. I would have posted the DWMGlass.dll file here sooner if the file size of it wasn't so huge.. You'd have to disable your Aero Glass to switch the original DWMGlass.dll with the more visble Aero Stripes. I'd have to figure out another place to upload it to since Attachment files only allow 500 KiloBytes and this DWMGlass with the more visible stripes is 2.63 Megabytes. As for the theme. I'm using Grim's "Vista8ModernMix" theme which you can find and download from his deviantart.

I'd like to know if there's any way possible to port this theme of this old version of Windows 8, including the non-flat Ribbon UI, and port it to the final of 8 and 8.1. This is the Consumer Preview Winver 6.2 Build 8250.

Oh, I see. Thanks for clearing that up.

Doesn't Secure Boot need to be disabled to get Aero working? Or has that issue been fixed.

Can you explain to me what happened that made Color Intensity and Show Color Mixer not show up?

I'm new to the forum, I've been following this topic for a long while now. Looking forward to the final release. Very good job so far to the Aero Glass Project, BigMuscle. 1 small edit on the DWMGlass.dll file (Edited using Resource Hacker, probably the most basic program one can use. Idk) More Visble Aero Stripes. Windows 7 Color Swatches (Aero Glass needs to be active) swatches_hkcu.reg
