[When will there be a version for Windows 10 1709？]

The latest version, 1.5.6.1255, finally works for me (the prior ones crashed DWM hard, to the point where I couldn't even start Aero Glass).  Thank you, Big Muscle.

Though I've put in my own theme atlas (trivial to use the RoundedCorners.png that I had made before, since Big Muscle implemented the .layout translation feature), I have not yet done a full theme replacement.  I really dislike flat, lifeless controls, and I had a pretty usable setup with v1703 that rounded the corners of buttons and gave them a little more recognizability using an aero7 replacement theme.  Since themes cut deep and could pose stability problems, I would like to hear from others who have both added Aero Glass and have found a good theme that both rounds the corners of buttons and gives skeuomophism (3D appearance) to controls.

EDIT:  I have successfully loaded the aero7 theme by sagorpirbd.  That still seems to work OK.

VMware Workstation Pro 14 is facilitating full-screen operation of my test VM for me again (I had lost that with version 11), so it's possible to immerse myself completely in my tweaked Win 10 to do real fitness for purpose testing.  I've already done some of that with the stock Windows 10 (lack of) theme and found that after a whole day of using it heavily for my work I was more tired than when I had a more elegant theme.  It seems to have enough functionality, though.

FYI, there are a couple of visual glitches to report:

1.  An inactive normal GDI window uses the active border from the theme atlas (you might have accidentally switched active/inactive border coloration in the code).  This doesn't seem to happen on ribbon-enabled windows.  Note the slight blue coloration in the border of the "Inactive normal window" Notepad instance in this screen grab, for example:

2.  You can also see in the above that the title coloring and backing are not working for the Wordpad window.

3.  I didn't get a screen grab but I lost the upper-right corner of an Internet Explorer window on my right monitor once so far when using Windows 10 in full-screen mode across all monitors.

4.  Moving windows around seems quite slow (just a few frames per second refreshes), even though I've got a pretty fast system and a very good video card.  I can possibly attribute this to running Win 10 in a VM, though most everything else seems fast.

Hello everyone!

I believe this might be my first or 2nd/3rd time posting here, but I was here since Windows 10 beta stage (then switched back to W7) for 2 years.
Recently I'm back in W10 and tried to use the installer only to find out it didn't work because of MS and the new update.

I tried the instructions joeberardis talked about but it didn't work for me at all. (replacing the .dll, download the zip, uninstall, use the scheduler as admin)

I'm wondering if someone can be kind enough to walk me through the entire process with the files once more. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, as I've tried to follow every step, including deleting aeroglass from my regedit. Also I will like to get that Noel's theme if possible. Can someone be kind enough to give me a hand?

Thank you.

Update: I've finally figured how to do this. Now I just need to figure it out for the task bar....

[Windows 10 DEVELOPMENT]

you can do that best over the Aero Glass GUI, iirc

Can you explain more? or direct link? (imma be start reading the other thread for it now at the same time)

[Windows 10 DEVELOPMENT]

Sometimes I get 2 ModernFrame Windows. But one uses a Windows Explorer icon. As you see on screenshot

wow how do you get your task bar to be clear(non-color tinted) like that?

can you share the secret?

Hi everyone. I've been this forum for a while and first of all thank you BM for all the hard work and everyone else who's been providing advices and answering questions.

 

I also have a question myself: how do I make the aero glass to be non-color tinted so it looks frosty like the W7 style?
