The author would have to pack the extension separately for old Chrome versions and distribute that version outside of Chrome Store because CRX_VERSION_NUMBER_INVALID. Edit: file removed

Touch functionality was already implemented in older versions, they just use load-time linking instead of run-time linking to those functions now because they're guaranteed to be available on Windows 7+.

May I suggest K-9 Mail? You still have to enter SMTP settings for each account, but it shouldn't complain if the same SMTP server is used with multiple accounts.

It does, but elements specific to newer OS are ignored. Which is a thing since XP. Applications have to require this version via manifest if they want it, which is located only somewhere in WinSxS folder, otherwise, they get v5.82, which is located in System32 folder. v6 supports new theming features of XP.

Is it just me, or do they often change something on YouTube, preventing older versions of PotPlayer from accessing the videos?

It's been a regular occurrence that someone new registers on the forum and asks questions about Aero Glass that have already been answered multiple times in old topics.

I know, I tried to say that the applications that put buttons on the title bar have to rely on special function to also render title text, and that function works differently compared to internal one that DWM uses by default render title text.

Welp, their support is useless and didn't even properly read what I wrote. Whatever, I'm not going to bother with them anymore. Their app happens to have the worst rating on Google Play, compared to the apps of other banks. They can choose to block me and I can choose to go somewhere else. Even better with an option to avoid having to rely on smartphone app for such things.

It's worth a shot.

I don't know how that could happen as the borders should be the same for normal windows and the taskbar window containing hidden icons. Aero Glass is pure in-memory modification, it never modifies system files. If you want to draw those buttons on the title bar programmatically, you also have have to draw the text yourself. Native API for this purpose reads certain rendering parameters from used .msstyles file, unless overridden and if the theme author didn't set glowing parameters, there'll be no glow. It's a separate method than the one that DWM uses by default. On top of that, the system may decide to change color for one of the states of the window - active/inactive - to something else, depending on current used accent color. You can set Aero Glass' TextGlowMode to 3 to make DWM use the same method that applications like Paint and WordPad use, but you can't set both required parameters for glow to work without modifying the .msstyles file. Glow drawn with that method is different, it's not taken from theme's atlas image. I forgot all details as it's been a while since I messed with themes.

That syntax error probably only shows with older browsers. I don't get it with updated Basilisk. You should get this one consistently across different browsers (it's also present in that screenshot): TagError: adsbygoogle.push() error: No slot size for availableWidth=0 Newer Firefox and Chrome versions should be able to show the name of JS file where the error is coming from (adsbygoogle.js) and show it in normally readable form as it's normally minified.

The bank that I use decided they will implement mandatory 2FA authentication to access their web services - the second factor second being none other than a smartphone app. For now it's still possible to access it using certificate installed on the computer and the password, but smartphone app is going to replace the certificate soon. So now you have to own a smartphone - to enter PIN code in the app every time to be able to login to the website on the computer, something that was possible without a fuss until recently. Now what really p***ed me off, their app must have tripped on the busybox (apparently one of many checks for signs of rooted phone) that was pre-installed with my current custom ROM and also sometimes came in handy in the past. Having only encountered one such app until now (for authorizing online payments - and it wasn't mandatory, you could've opted for dedicated code generator device), that was happy as long as it didn't find su binary / SuperSU.apk, this one caught me by surprise. OK, so busybox can be removed entirely. Or installed systemlessly (so it doesn't reside on /system partition) with help of Magisk, which facilitates providing root access, hiding it from apps that don't want to see it and providing means to be able to do other modifications without modifying files on /system partition. This banking app seems to have flagged my phone on their servers during activation process, so now can't be activated at all. It must have taken its serial number, which can't be spoofed in practice I think. There's Xposed module that does it, but there's no way around Google's SafetyNet with activated Xposed Framework. What a load of crap! So one's supposed to just buy new phone for one stupid app...which could function on the old one...if it wanted to. Planned obsolescence in general is really strong there...let's buy a new smartphone every year or two. New one would just be bigger, clunkier and preloaded with tons of crap I don't want or need, that can't be removed without root access and since Google's fixing SafetyNet... End of rant!

Have you checked Aero Glass settings by inspecting registry settings described here or using Aero Glass GUI downloadable from here? My guess would be that you have set custom atlas image without borders, overriding the one from custom theme.

The laptop I use at work has Intel HD Graphics 530 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M. I haven't noticed anything out of ordinary when NVIDIA GPU is invoked. The laptop runs Win10 1809 and Aero Glass 1.5.13. Tested setting preferred GPU in both NVIDIA Control Panel and Settings app, the latter overrides the former if specific GPU is set. I also wonder, is your screen physically connected to NVIDIA card? Otherwise, if I'm not mistaken, disabling Intel in Device Manager should result in complete lack of graphics hardware acceleration.

@Tripredacus You misunderstood. The problem occurs when you DO NOT block ads. Private browsing is not enabled in my screenshot. If you do block ads or allow JavaScript only on msfn.org, there's no problem. The problematic script originates from googlesyndication.com.

Yup, that's it. In Firefox 45, it should be broken out-of-the-box, except in private windows that have tracking protection enabled by default.

You probably have something in your Firefox 45 profile that blocks the offending script. Regardless of the browser engine, it's not uncommon for browsers these days to come with some sort of tracking protection enabled by default, which tends to block the offending script.

Sorry, was wrong about that. Some more searching suggests both GPUs can work at once and depending on application, the application may get either Intel or NVIDIA's rendering context. But DWM tends to be pinned to Intel by default with no way or at least no easy way to change it, but it might also depend on how Optimus is implemented on particular laptop. That's how it should work by default and what apparently causes glitches for some reason.

So NVIDIA Optimus is involved. If my understanding is correct, only one GPU can render graphics at the time. Certain workloads activate the dedicated GPU, so then that GPU will handle application that made it activate and desktop composition, which includes Aero Glass. In NVIDIA Control Panel, you should be able to setup application profiles and force certain applications to always use integrated GPU. Your Windows version should also have settings dealing with preferred GPU for specific applications in the Settings app (System->Display->Graphics settings). You'd have to try and see which setting takes precedence. Still, there is some underlying issue on your setup as switching GPUs shouldn't result in artifacting. Upgrading (or maybe downgrading) both GPUs' drivers might help.

It comes from the browser. One of the checks that must pass for the browser to even bother with WebAssembly is SSE2 capable CPU. The base site seems to work without it, looks like some hidden Flash file lurking in the background. Flash games obviously won't work without it.

I noticed the latest version of QTTabBar (v1041), released earlier this month, does not function on mentioned OS. When enabled, error log is generated on user desktop saying it failed to load SHCore.dll, which is Windows 8.1+ DLL. Its website still says it's for Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. Either way, users of older Windows versions are better of skipping this one.

Does removing "Search automatically for updated driver software" also mean OS won't try to update certain drivers automatically on its own if driver updates via Windows Update are turned off? I ended up configuring group policy "Prevent installation of devices that match any of these Device IDs" to prevent Windows from replacing default mouse driver. The custom driver changes the base sensitivity and would really be only useful with the combination of the extra program that must be installed that changes USB polling rate. The driver is from Windows 7 era and any Windows version beyond Win7 would crash soon if you change the polling rate with that combination of software. So I use default driver with hidusbf to change the polling rate. The mouse is called HP Laser Gaming Mouse with VoodooDNA.

You can still take care of window borders without Aero Glass. Have a laptop running 32-bit Win10 1809, for which suitable Aero Glass build doesn't exist, but still have decent borders with shadows and everything. Custom themes are easier now since SecureUxTheme is a thing. Though it's true that you still need Aero Glass if you want rounded corners.

At this point, I wonder if AVG leaves files anywhere else besides obvious AVG folders in Program Files and Common Files and the drivers folder. I know there's also temp folder, but this one is obvious target anyway. I'm thinking of running AVG Clear at some point and manually remove left overs, if any, then take care of remaining things that were written to PendingFileRenameOperations, which should be manageable. Maybe re-install AVG then or just enable Windows Defender, though I suppose the latter should be automatically enabled in absence of any other anti-virus software. Basilisk entries - there must be a bug in the updater as the referenced entries are already taken care of when it's finished. I've never seen left-over tobedeleted folder in its installation folder.
