@ace2-- I installed glass shiny atlas resource with no problems. I actually have three different .png files I can choose. I also use the AeroGlassGUI.exe, and am able to add color to windows labels, and do other stuff like adjust blur, etc.

I feel so left out, too. I have Windows 8.1 with the Spring Update, and everything is beautiful. I have blur; I have glow; I have different color for label!

Interesting. I don't understand why you would think that registry editing is stupid. There is much published on the internet concerning editing the registry, and I have achieved excellent results for over 15 years by doing so. I would hope that who-so-ever edits his registry creates a back-up before doing so. In this way any chance of an "improper" edit could be easily negated. Most people who publish guides are trying to be helpful, and do not appreciate negativity in return, myself included. My efforts in other forums have always been highly appreciated. Also, the above guide works, is easy to understand, and is reproducible.

Fixed.

Fixed.

Aero Glass Installation for Windows 8.1 Update 1 64-bit As we all know Big Muscle http://glass8.berlios.de/ has been working on Aeroglass for Windows 8 and its updates for a good while achieving excellent results. With the help of people on the msfn.org forum, I have been able to achieve Aeroglass on the latest Windows 8.1 Update 1. I downloaded the stand-alone file from this page http://glass8.berlios.de/download.html; the Aero Glass for Win8.1 v1.2.1 64-bit Windows file, NOT the installer. This file is called win81_x64_1.2.1.7z so you will need an appropriate extractor such as 7-Zip or WinRAR. I created an Aeroglass folder on my C-drive (C:\AeroGlass,) and placed the extracted files in it. I also created an empty folder called Symbols inside the AeroGlass folder (C:\AeroGlass\Symbols.) I then went to this site http://msdn.microsof...esktop/bg162891, and downloaded the SDK for Windows 8.1. I installed ONLY the debugging tools. I then copied into a text document, and saved as Aeroglass.reg this: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows] "LoadAppInit_DLLs"=dword:00000001 "AppInit_DLLs"="C:\\AeroGlass\\DWMGlass.dll" "RequireSignedAppInit_DLLs"=dword:00000000 I then merged this into my registry. After I did that I copied this into a text document and saved as symbols.cmd : MKDIR %userprofile%\appdata\local\temp\dlls CD C:\Windows\System32 XCOPY "dwm.exe" %userprofile%\appdata\local\temp\dlls XCOPY "dwmcore.dll" %userprofile%\appdata\local\temp\dlls XCOPY "uDWM.dll" %userprofile%\appdata\local\temp\dlls CD C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Debuggers\x64 SYMCHK /r %userprofile%\appdata\local\temp\dlls /s SRV*C:\AeroGlass\symbols\*http://msdl.microsof...ownload/symbols RD /S /Q "%userprofile%\appdata\local\temp\dlls" I ran this as administrator (just to be on the safe side!) I then logged out, and back on and everything was beautiful.
