You can prevent update via this method:
Search : gpedit > Administrative Tamplates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Configure Automatik Update > Enable > 2-Notify
Only applies Windows 10 Pro though

Excellent, thanks for testing dafob. I also have that red screen on my Surface Book so I'll be happy to get rid of that now.

Thanks bigmuscle. Can someone test? I'm not near my PC until tomorrow after midday Australian time.

Experimental Modernframe replacement seems to work good on my system BM.
Does the different means of injection negate the need to turn off "secureboot" or does that still remain?

Strange, I always though that the dialog box on the Aero Glass startup is noticeable, or isn't it?
BM I just did a test and moved my donation.key out of c:\Aeroglass and rebooted. On reboot I got no warning of no licence key or pop up dialog box displaying machine ID.
edit: scrap that, the dialog box was behind another window displaying the machine ID.
In the meantime calfmuscle you can copy the machine ID from c:\Aeroglass\debug.log (open it with notepad) to generate the correct key file.

I see, I've never installed it on a VM so I didn't know it did that.

Why do you still have the watermark Dhjohns?

Just a heads up if you hover your mouse over the glass8.eu 1.5 download links they say .7z but when clicked on they want to save as .man. I just renamed to 7z once I downloaded it.

Tried that to. No difference. I'm not fussed as there no themes I liked that works for Windows 10 RS1. I'll stick with NoelC Theme Atlas
Have you tried modernframe by itself i.e. no signature bypass dl as welll? Modernframe enables the glass effect on modern apps, it's not really a theme thing.

Daveo did you rename your "ModernFrame-x64-Debug.dll" to "ModernFrame.dll" by any chance? Maybe the filename is the issue. I renamed mine to just "Modernframe.dll" so I had to change UCyborgs entry for that one. Just a thought.

I think there used to be a warning message back on the Win8 version that said NOT to use the theme atlas if you were going to use custom themes lol. That's the only reason I never combined the two.
I just stick with glass only. I cant find a theme that I like to use. The Win7 themes have the border but you can see inconsistencies in the glass and I cant find a nice Win8-style theme. So, default it is.I must have missed that over the years, oh well at least I know now. I don't normally use themes either until I tried the one linked to the post on the previous page. Looks pretty good.
Note though the black line bug I'm talking about occurs even when theme isn't loaded.

I've managed to reproduce your crash with Explorer, I think it happens when you have CustomThemeAtlas set under DWM settings key in registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM). This setting doesn't seem to be effective with UxThemeSignatureBypass64.dll loaded, just crashes Explorer. But when it's not set, loading custom themes work and Explorer doesn't crash. CustomThemeAtlas setting is meant to be used when you don't want to replace whole theme. So the way it is now, if you want whole custom themes, that setting must be deleted or if you want just custom theme atlases, the DLLs shouldn't be injected. Either way, a slight inconvenience since you can't make a switch without a reboot.
Saw screenshot of that bug before, I'll see if I can try to reproduce it as I haven't seen it on my machine.
Bingo! Thanks for posting this UCyborg, I was having this issue but on Windows startup I would just get a black screen with the occasional flashing. Could not get it to work and was forced use uxstyle instead after doing a system restore.
After I saw this post I uninstalled uxstyle, used the reg file that you posted rebooted and all was good. Thanks again.
One thing I am noticing though and have done off and on with #669 and only with IE is this as reported in the 1.4.6 thread is the black rectangle vertical and horizontal line like in the screenshot in this post.
Anyone else getting this with #669?

You can download files from Big Muscle's www.glass8.eu site with Internet Explorer IF you do NOT left-click the link, but instead do exactly the following:
1. Right-click the link to get the context menu.
2. Save Target As, change the extension to .7z, and save the file to your disk.
3. Once the file is completely downloaded to your disk, open it with 7Zip.

I had typed all of the above also yesterday, clicked submit but suddenly the thread had disappeared, now it's back??
Anyhow I also commented on your instructions Genecooper, nice work. I'm sure this thread will be quite helpful to a lot of folk.

I still only see 668 in the experimental builds page, can you please post a link to 669? Thanks
You need to login to download it.

You will still get the error message on every boot and the glass effect will not be visible unless you hit cancel.
I did hit cancel but not much of a glass effect on anything and when I move a window around visual artefacts appear on the window behind. If I restart, sometimes half of the screen is missing so I'll wait until we hear from Bigmuscle.

Well the suggestion to rename symsrv.dll and the symbols folder didn't work for me. I did that, installed the update then I got DWM incompatibility error 0x5E7 and have to hit cancel to go to my desktop. No glass effect either. Restarted and got the usual message and half screen missing so I reverted back again.

I installed the Anniversary build, Aeroglass didn't work so I reverted to previous build and deferred upgrades until BM has a solution. I don't like the look of the flat plain titlebars, etc, just looks wrong.

Fair enough. I did wonder whether or not the Insider Program would disable the option to change how updates were managed.

The point went right over your head. This isn't about "blocking updates" or "choosing when to install them" for those OUTSIDE of the Insider Preview. When you opt-in to it, you are already under the impression that updates are going to come through and you should install them unimpeded. Comparing apples to oranges.
There is absolutely NO point in blocking updates from coming through if you are opted into the program. That makes no sense, whatsoever. If you want those updates to stop, then OPT OUT and wait to get them like everyone else.
But wouldn't you be better off being notified rather than the update install happening without you knowing it? It's not a matter of "blocking" it's about being told when updates are available.

There are folks who STILL don't know how to take control of when Windows Update runs?
-Noel
I wondered the same thing. I always configure auto updates to notify me when available but don't download/install via the Group policy workaround on new Win 10 Pro machines.

It's the "CaptionHeight" and "CaptionWidth" that affect the size of the icons in the taskbar next to the clock as you suspected Noel.
0 -
With some setting there IIRC I think the Taskbar gets a little bit shorter as well. That's probably why the icons get smaller.
I've just been experimenting with the negative numbers for BorderWidth and PaddedBorderWidth. If you're not looking for really thin borders those might be better left at 0.
-Noel
I left the BorderWidth at -15 and PaddedBorderwidth at 0 and it looks good. Luckily I backed up the windowmetrics reg key so I can revert at any time.

I'm not sure; I think they may be tied to the caption button sizing. I've always had the particularly small icons accompany the reduced window chrome, even back to Vista to the best of my memory.
I've never broken the settings down and tried them one by one.
-Noel
Thanks Noel, I'll do some testing with one at a time and see how I go.

Windows 10 18363.752
in Aero Glass For Windows 8+

You're right. They must have changed that a while back. Used to only apply to Windows 10 Pro.
