monkey wrench: 1 uninstalled Classic Shell (taskbar still transparent) 2 uninstalled AG (taskbar goes opaque) 3 reboot. 4 reinstall AG ONLY: transparency applied to all windows as well as taskbar... 5 uninstall AG: opaque taskbar returned. Whats going on? AG install is triggering transparency of taskbar and uninstalling it is triggering return to opaque. Big muscle let me know that AG has nothing to do with taskbar transparency but this seems to show otherwise. Perhaps there is some other explanation. .... tnx

monkey wrench: 1 uninstalled CS (taskbar still trans) 2 uninstalled AG (taskbar goes opaque) 3 reboot. 4 reinstall AG ONLY: transparency applied to all windows as well as taskbar... 5 uninstall AG: opaque taskbar returned. Whats going on? AG install is triggering transparency of taskbar and uninstall triggering return to opaque... .... tnx

no lucks: whether i am on mains or on battery i cant get the taskbar opaque....

didnt used to do this dhj: ill try that and reinstall CS and let you know...

Whenever i used to go off the mains and onto battery, the taskbar (classic start on 8.1) and menus used to go opaque. i assume this meant that aeroglass was shut down for the sake of powersaving. Now, however, no matter how many transparency settings i turn off in classic start menu settings i can never turn off the main taskbar transparency!: either on AC or DC power. many thanks for any thoughts or insight on how to restore this functionality ....

ok phew I got it. thanks to all for newbie handholding. please be as patient with the next guy! tnx ps perhaps too much of the crucial information is only available after logging into the user support page? perhaps Im wrong here!

HI BM, ok, I see my payment confirmation in my gmail account. I am not sure I have a record of my password and my postal code isn't working. any way then to retrieve password? thanks again for all

what email would we have received the message from confirming our key etc. after we donated??? tnx

ok: I see "When you deactivate wrong key, you can reactivate it back. But you will need to wait another 30 days if you want to deactivate it again and get a new key." now as far as I know I did not deactivate my key. if trying the same key on a new computer amounts to deactivation then I get it. correct? thus can you please direct me to the reactivation procedure? its not on the read first page... tnx again

been through that! will do it again and let you know... tnx

Daveo, thanks, how do I recycle the key!? I don't mind to wait 30! thanks! ps is there a way to search the aeroglass threads from the main menu?

thank Adacom. can you direct me to the page? I am having trouble finding the right one! its not on the aergolass home support page... tnx

Dear BM, Daveo, thanks but no luck: I have reinstalled the both 1.31 and 1.4 versions to c:\AeroGlass and copied my donation.key file there. I am getting the watermark and the nag screen. As I mentioned I am on a new laptop and want to bring over my key from my last. please advise. many thanks, Slipr

BM, I have taken the advice of others and reinstalled the both 1.31 and 1.4 versions to c:\AeroGlass and copied my donation.key file there. No luck. I am getting the watermark and the nag screen. As I mentioned I am on a new laptop and want to bring over my key from my last. please advise. many thanks, Slipr

sorry can but can anybody direct me to the procedure for activating the donation.key on a new computer? tnx

Hi, my old puter fried and I would like to use my donation key on the new machine (also win 8.1). what is the procedure for this? can anyone help? tnx, Slipr

thanks DH. you are a legend in my mind too. please tell, did the transparency levels change to the higher in the 1.3.1 or am I mistaken?

it appears that the cynicism was mine! will give that a shot asap

BM, I did an system restore and went back to yesterday. license working again and no watermark. will hold off on updating windows til we here from ye (but would like to soon because there is a BSOD fix in there to be had!). tnx RESOLVED

nope. I paid about 2 years ago. license.key. but thanks for the cynicism....

BM, all well here and AG working on win 8.1 after latest batch of updates. ONLY 1 Problem: after updates my serial/key no longer work and I get the notification and watermark on the lower right hand part of the desktop. PLEASE advise, tnx

BM, can you makie legacy/old version of aeroglass installer available should we have issue with your updates? i for one would like to have a copy of 1.2 on hand... tnx

the new update for what is available on msdn VC?

I checked the animated image and I must admit that I don't see any reason why it should be related to DWM/Aero Glass, especially when it is not only rendering problem but even focus is lost. ok. something else must be stealing focus.... tnx

Dear BM, i have put together a licecap gif that shows the activity i am talking about. Here is the link: https://app.box.com/s/rgev2s7rbzh0luz7xbrc or here http://bit.ly/1lo9qBQ (animation can not be seen on the box.com page. works in ie and FF) Essentially the active window seems to be flashing inactive and returning to active. You can see this activity at approx 1:35 into the gif when i was using firefox and at approx 2:55 into the gif when using word. The behavior is idnetical when these windows are made full-screen or if i am using other applications. This is an annoyance because mouse and keyboard input is lost at these moments. From a variety of comments found on an "active window loses focus" i have discovered the dwm does can have this impact. In any case, all counsel is appreciated. thanks to Jaclaz for Licecap. it did the job
