  1. Make sure you are using Aero Glass for Win8.1 v1.2.5! The website is http://www.glass8.eu/download.html. This is MADE for Windows 8.1 Update 1. Perhaps you used the wrong version.
  2. I wonder if this is a joke! I mean it is like in the old days when someone would have 30,000 tool bars installed, and wonder why the internet was so slow!
  3. In other words, open your registry editor, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\DWM; In the right-hand window, right-click on the DWORD entry DisableGlassOnBattery, select Modify, and change the value data to 0. Close the registry editor. You may have to log off, and then back on. I don't know. I do not own a laptop!
  4. I have no idea why anyone would want any menu BEHIND the Task Bar. Actually, I don't use jump lists either! I do use Aeropeek!
  5. OK, cool. I suppose one could classify it as a bug. It is rather benign though!
  6. But your jump lists are in BACK of the task bar, and mine are in front! Maybe the bug is that yours is in back. Pehaps mine is the way it SHOULD work. Maybe neither is a bug, but by design! I really don't know. I mean, it IS a different operating system than Windows 7. I would have to uninstall AeroGlass, and see how it works. I have been using it for so long now, I don't really remember what it works like not running AeroGlass. Maybe you are aware of default behavior for Windows 8.1.
  7. Yes, you are right. Only my border has transparency. In Windows 7 it only has transparency when you are "holding on" to it. The second you let go it looks just the same as Windows 8.1 with BigMuscle's Aeroglass. I tried, but can't get a screen shot of the jumplist in front of the task bar, but with mine it looks just the same, but sits down in front of the task bar. It moves up and down with my mouse, but as soon as I let go of it it appears as in this screen shot!
  8. My point is not that Win 8 people are avoiding upgrading to Win 8.1. It's that fewer and fewer additional Win 7 people are moving up to Win 8 (point anything). The product is a flop! -Noel Well, if Windows 8.1 is a flop, I certainly hope Microsoft keeps putting out more flops! I love it!
  9. I would think that no one in his right mind would NOT upgrade to Windows 8.1!
  10. May I suggest getting an external USB drive and instituting nightly VSS-integrated system image backups (doable by scheduling a wbadmin command). 1 - You'll have your system backed up in case something bad happens. 2 - You'll automatically have volume snapshots made every night, any one of which you can choose to restore data or your entire system from. -Noel Edit: Stupid forum changes b ) (without space between) to B) Is that why it is called wBADmin, in case something BAD happens?
  11. I know this is not a system restore forum, but system restore does not affect documents and such. Also, I have never had a problem on Windows 8.1 using system restore with virus protection turned on. Of course, I use the built-in Windows Defender along with Malwarebytes Antimalware Premium and Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit (free.) In any case you would not need system restore for Bigmuscle's Aeroglass because all you need to do is delete the folder! By-the-way, who is this Junior guy?
  12. Like I said you are good to go. I am using Windows 8.1 x64 WMC edition. I have installed aeroglass on all different versions including Server 2012 R2 in virtual machines, and NEVER have I had an issue.
  13. I have it here https://mega.co.nz/#!EQxU2QpS!nyEisY0Uuvhz5t4jWpu0FGXl_zgsQiNzTGPv3tcuhss
  14. Why does yours NoelC look different than Wolfshadow's? Wolfshadow's is on top. Noel's is on bottom! I am using AeroGlassGui to choose files.
  15. I agree - except for all those ugly squares and rectangles. -Noel They look beautiful to me. And, they stay there! They don't get sucked back in to the evil start button if my mouse slips! Seriously, I couldn't effing stand the start menu! I always typed in the search box to get to where I wanted, and had the quick launch set up. Anything to get away from the start button with the cursed expanding start menu! I am not joking here.
  16. @ Bigmuscle: You could have a restore defaults button instead of calling it revert. I do think that having it close by a button would be more intuitive than by just the X though. Although this would not be totally unusual.
  17. If you are using the theme atlas, you would have to change it to a button using a modified version of the atlas file. It would involve the three X buttons in the picture. Huh? I don't see any picture!
