Congratulations Big Muscle! The latest v1.5.5.953 release is working great and has fixed the detached Chrome tab issue! Many thanks! -JT

FYI, the crashes I've been experiencing when a dragging off a Chrome browser tab are easily reproducible on both of my Creators Update machines. Here are the steps required to consistently create an aeroglass dwm.exe crash by detaching a Chrome tab: 1) Open Chrome Browser, 2) Create 2 or more tabs on a single window, 3) Click and hold either of the non-leftmost tabs and drag it downwards to detach it from the main window, 4) screen freezes temporarily and then dwm.exe crashes and reloads, creating a mini-dump file every time. Notes: Dragging off non-leftmost tabs upwards or sideways does NOT produce a crash. Dragging off the leftmost tab, in any direction, does NOT produce a crash. The new aeroglass, otherwise, is running stable on my machines. I'm not using any custom atlas or themepack. I've installed aeroglass using the 'schedule.bat' method (so it's not running on modern app frames). Here is a minidump I just created using the above steps: https://www.dropbox.com/s/oi819lfclqkzoq2/minidump-08-19-15-41-08.7z Thanks for looking into this BIg Muscle (and NoeIC or anyone else helping him!) -JT

Thanks for looking into this and discovering the similarity!

Hi Big Muscle, For the AeroGlass crash/bug when a Chrome Brower tab is detached (when windows are underneath the original browser page) reported by me and several others; Please find below, a sample minidump file/link (.dmp gets created with each crash). (Hopefully, this is related to the earlier bug you found and fixed). Cheers, -JT https://www.dropbox.com/s/revb7e2qyn1vvqs/Aeroglass-minidump-08-15-21-09-59.7z

I'm also experiencing intermittent DWM.exe crashes when Chrome browser tabs are detached (tab dragged off a window to form a new window). Otherwise, I'm really happy with the new build. Thank you Big Muscle - much appreciated!

Thank you very much Big Muscle for releasing the latest 64-bit Aeo Glass version 1.5.4.935! Your skills and efforts here are very much appreciated! Please consider crowdfunding or asking this community for financial help for developing future Windows version releases!! We will happily support you in releasing timely builds - Just Ask! -JT

OMG - An Official Aero Glass Build for the Creators Update has been posted by Big Muscle!

For anyone looking for a definitive installation guide to installing the current 'debug' version of Aero Glass for Windows 10 Creators Update, check out this post on WinAero: http://winaero.com/blog/aero-glass-windows-10-creators-update/ Note that one can easily 'Move/Minimize and Hide' the annoying dwm.exe debug console window+taskbar icon to another virtual 'desktop' using the Windows 10 'Task View' feature. Also, I used the SplashImage command in an AutoHotkey script to hide the annoying AeroGlass Watermarks on all my active monitors. I really hope Big Muscle can step up and communicate with the community he created here. The current debug version is working really well on all my Creators Update machines. Why not just release it as a 'Beta' version and get rid of all the debug crap? Also, Big Muscle, if you need more financial resources to make this project viable for you, why don't you just ask the community to pitch in again? I (and many others) would be perfectly happy to donate another $20 (even for each new Windows release) to get timely releases going again!! I just hate the flat/ugly non-transparent Windows 10 look - and so do MANY others! Just ask for what you need to keep this project going - but please don't flake out and communicate nothing, and leave us all hanging in limbo for months on end! -JT

Thank you, Troy. Please DO share your theme when finished! Is it easy for one to tweak the 'Window Border' thickness? (I kind of like the default W10 1-pixel thinness) -JT

Many thanks for posting this! I just installed v1.1.8.2 and it is also working normally on my Creator's Update machine as well! -JT

Thanks for this info UCyborg! Oh and BTW, I'm curious as to why/how de-registering the DLL only disables the modern/UWP frames and not ALL of the AeroGlass transparency effects? Can anyone explain this?

Is there any way to disable the AreoGlass transparency effects on UWP/Modern windows? I've noticed it doesn't work well with UWP Apps that have custom tabbed title bars (like the Edge Browser). Also, many of us simply prefer the look of plain colored title bars on UWP Apps, especially when using the dark Windows theme. Any help in disabling this one feature is greatly appreciated!

Thank you genecooper! Most helpful... -JT

Can someone please quickly outline the steps to test/register the new beta DWMGlass.dll on the Creators Update? Much appreciated! -JT

Tihiy, Any love you can lend to ONE to get it working (details pane) with the Win 10 Creators Update would be SO MUCH appreciated! Many of us are happy to make donations if that would help. Thanks for listening! -JT

Bigmuscle: When you finally do release an AeroGlass version compatible with the Creators Update, could you please include an option to disable/enable the modern frame glass effect on UWP apps. When enabled It ends up screwing up UWP apps that use custom title bar headers - like the Edge browser. Deregistering the DLL didn't work for me so I had to downgrade to v1.5.1 on my anniversary update machines. I'm still holding off on upgrading my machines until you release a new Creator's version. I hope all is well in your world - Many of us are patiently waiting. Any kind of status update would be much appreciated

Latest Windows 10 Update (for build 10.0.10586) now breaks Aero Glass v1.4.5 DWM.exe compatibility check: The following screenshot shows the error 'Failed when trying to download symbols.' Retrying does not work. Clicking cancel clears the error and glass effect still provides basic function... EDIT: Reinstalling v1.4.5 did the trick and properly re-downloaded a fresh set of symbols. All is good now.

I'm having the same problem as hgg and many others. Even after updating to ONE v1.1.7.1 I'm still having the details pane randomly disappear from the bottom of the explorer window about once a day. When I turn the details pane back on it appears on the right side. If I close explorer, uninstall and reinstall ONE, then restart explorer it works again, but it's a huge pain to do on a daily basis. I'm running Windows 10 x64, upgraded from Windows 8.1 x64. Any ideas? TIHIY, I also (and so many others) have been having the same issue where even after updating to ONE v1.1.7.1 the details pane randomly disappears from the bottom of the explorer window at least once a day. I'm still on Windows 8.1-64 bit, but this ONE annoying issue has been present for me since I first started using this otherwise awesome utility. I even wrote a 'Restart Explorer' script in AutoHotkey as a workaround. Is there any way you could spend some time on squashing this BUG? (I'd be willing to make an extra donation to help compensate you for your valuable time [and probably others would too]) The only added utility I'm using in addition to ONE is AeroGlass for Windows 8 (no UxStyle or any other theme tweaker). It would be great if TIHIY could respond directly to this. I acknowledged that that this issue has been persistent.How much work would it take to rewrite/correct the disappearing details pane issue, Tihiy? If we could crowdfund some development resources for you, would you be willing to do it?

Tihiy, are there any quick workarounds for the inject issue? (besides logging off/restart) Really appreciate all that you have done with this app! Let us know if some donations would help inspire resolution of this...

I've also noticed aerohost.exe CPU consumption levels that are higher that I'd expect for a process that is supposedly 'sleeping' most of the time. It's certainly not a deal breaker for desktops but it's more of a concern for my notebook. As you can see from the screenshot, aero host is in the 'top 5' processes for cpu consumption since I booted up my computer over the last hour and have done only mild browsing, Aerohost is using more CPU resources than my chrome, skype, explorer, or dropbox, processes (combined)... Are there any optimization 'tweaks' that could be done to reduce CPU usage? Obviously, more is being done than just sleeping here, I've neither logged in or out or opened any new apps for that matter. Hope this is helpful.

'Explorer' windows issues. Big Muscle or someone, Please help... Windows 8.1 File 'Explorer' windows are NOT applying either the text glow OR the new 'ColorizationColorCaption' settings, it simply defaults to 'black' window title/captions and no glow effect. I'm using the standard 'win8rtm.png' atlas and all other features are working perfectly. Many users are having this same issue. What is the best solution to get consistent window captions and glow effect? It would be great if this simple consistency could be provided directly from the AeroGlass utility and not require us to install some hack or 3rd party theme or tool to accomplish this. Thanks, -JT I have the same problem (Both Chinese).
