Aero was the most requested feature people requested for Windows 10 when Microsoft was asking for suggestions. Just goes to show what a monopoly like Microsoft can get away with, as they wouldn't survive in a truly competitive market ignoring their customers desires in such a manner.

My machine updated itself today to 16299.192 and now my areoglass is barely working. I had a blue hue in my active windows (using Noel's rounded corners) and now all I have is a nearly opaque white title bar with almost no transparency in the active and inactive windows as well. The aeroglassgui utility doesn't respond to any requests at all. I will note that the new version downloaded some new symbols upon my first logon. Not sure whether this version needs an update from BM or rounded corners needs an update. Any help appreciated. Update: I signed out and signed in again and now everything's back to normal--colors, transparency, aeroglassgui utility all working again!

How much do I donate for a key?

Minimum is 2 euros to cover Paypal fees. -
Could We Please get a non-Beta build?
genecooper replied to NoelC's topic in Aero Glass For Windows 8+
Yes, looks like this is build 1.5.4.935, so an update from 904. -
When will there be a version for Windows 10 1703?
genecooper replied to bigslacker's topic in Aero Glass For Windows 8+
Here's what I could find on it: https://www.pcmag.com/news/351711/microsoft-teases-project-neon-windows-10-ui-refresh. Doesn't specify whether it's the September release or whether areoglass will be included. I wouldn't bet the house on it knowing Microsoft. -

I agree that the update is taking an extended amount of time. I'm not certain that this is BM's fault, and perhaps there is good reason for it. It would seem that a project like this should move along more smoothly, but as I said I'm not sure what's involved. I hope that we get some time to use the final version before we're back in the same boat with the September update. -

To get it working I added DWMGlass.dll to my c:\areoglass directory (do this first as you might have trouble adding it if the old one is running) and then ran the install for version 1.51 (seems to work better than 1.52 or 1.53). Running fine. Put your donation key in the directory if you want to avoid being prompted for that. I'm using the latest version of modernframe.dll and NoelC's rounded corners. Update: Reverted back to non-areoglass since the beta seems to be to kicking in and out when I close certain windows. Not stable enough at this point for me, at least the way I have it set up (there may be a better way). Will probably just wait for the final to avoid the watermark and a minimized DWMGlass window. -
@dhjohns: Do we know anything definitive about Bigmuscle or are you just assuming the worst?

Looked at Windows Blinds and didn't like it. Seems like you had to change the whole interface to get some glass. Hopefully BM will come back and give us something to work with--let's hope he is ok. -

I have a feeling something has happened to BM that stops him from his work. If so, there probably won't be any areoglass for the Creators Update or future versions. It'd be nice if somehow we could find out what his status is but I'm not sure anybody knows how it could be verified. -
Compatible only up to rs1--Anniversary Update. Not compatible with Creators update. I have a feeling something has happened to BM that stops him from his work. If so, there probably won't be any areoglass for the Creators Update or future versions.

Looks like that's all we're going to get unless something happens with BM.

Your guess is as good as mine. It's been over six weeks since the Creators Update has been available and at least 3 weeks since Bigmuscle said 'very soon' in another thread to the availability of a version compatible with rs2. I know from Noel who has received an experimental version that BM has worked on this and more or less had a version that worked well. Why he has not distributed anything to his donors or the public is, again, anybody's guess. I hope all is well with him and that he's not in any predicament that prevents him from doing his work. I suppose we have no choice but to wait for a version or for some news regarding BM.

Still waiting for an experimental version from Bigmuscle. -
I tried installing version 1.5.3 and that was a disaster--just more or less locked up my system and I had to restore a recent backup. By the way, after installation you do get some new symbols, so therefore no incompatibility message. You can get version 1.5.1 on there without locking up the system but I really had no luck getting any transparency or blur, for that matter, whether using AeroGlassGUI or not--title bars pretty much look as if there was no installation. We'll just have to wait until Bigmuscle has his first experimental build for rs2.

It's coming I'm sure--just have to give BigMuscle a little time to produce it.

Best to uninstall first or at least make sure the task is not running. You may have problems if the task is running when you update--I did going from th2 to rs1 and was able to resolve the problem by turning off the task.

I haven't been able to get aeroglass to work at all with the Creators Update. Did you do anything special to get the effect because it doesn't show up at all and if you move a window around it just splatters the window all over the screen. Update: Actually I got it working a little by pointing my theme to rounded corners in the AeroGlassGUI--all I get is some color to the title bar in the active window but no transparency and I get nothing in the inactive window. The splattering is gone with version 1.5.1 but was there with 1.5.3.

I installed the Creators Update and got the incompatibility message (ver. 1703.15063.0). Do we just need the symbols or will more work be needed for aeroglass?

You can use the AeroGlassGUI utility that can be downloaded here (second link from bottom): http://www.glass8.eu/download. The accent tab allows you to change opacity to transparent. Use Firefox or other non-IE browser to download.

Did the system download any additional symbols on the last reboot? Strange, usually everything is done on the first reboot with a new patch.

I'd try uninstalling areoglass and reinstalling to see if that corrects the problem.
