    Hmm that's odd, you should still be able to set the virtual resolution to 1440p still. You could try a workaround but you need a second PC or your phone for that:

     

    Install TeamViewer on your PC and then disconnect all screens etc. then connect to your PC via TeamViewer and try to set a new resolution.

    I think the problem is the 2nd screen.  My main 1440p screen is connected via displayport.  The 2nd 1080p screen via HDMI.    If I run off the single 1440p screen there's no issue.   It's only when I run both, the icons jam up in the upper left corner of the 2nd screen and all the windows go weird on the primary screen.

    I've spent so much time googling but no solutions.   I've read about the simulated_ registry key, but have never seen one.   I use a program called DesktopOK to save and restore my icon positions.    It's super annoying.   I have an AMD 5700XT right now, but this problem also existed under my old Nvidia card.

    Lot's of googling shows this can be a pretty common problem :(

    I wish I could figure out how manually make the simulated entry in the registry.

    That's actually fixable, read through this thread: https://www.ros-bot.com/guide/fix-automatic-resolution-change-monitor-power-offsleep

     

    You basically have to change the virtual headless resolution in Windows to match your actual monitor resolution.

    I tried that once but didn't have the simulated entry in my registry.   I also run 2 screens at different resolutions.   Basically whenever I buy a new main monitor screen, I demote the old one to being my secondary screen.   I have one screen at 1440p and my secondary screen at 1080p.  I think that doesn't help.

  3. Yah... it'd be nice if Microsoft brought back full Aero.   I find the win10 operating system works well enough, but aestically it felt like it went backwards.  Without aeroglass it looks more like old school windows to me.  Very boxed corners and no transparency.  Like win98 or winMe kind of thing.  It's shame MS keeps messing with the code and breaking aeroglass.

    If they stopped doing that, and figured out how to stop icons and windows from moving all over the place when you turn monitors on/off... it'd be a great OS :)

  4. I've been using aeroglass for several years now and it always had the watermark (unless you pay).    Isn't the license some thing like $5.   Given that bigmuscle updates it for free everytime MS messes around with the GUI, isn't it worth it?

  5. It turned out I did get this problem on my 2nd computer (laptop).  It would download the symbols file but didn't seem to proceed to do the rest of what it usually does in the DOS box when there's a symbols update.  It causes the box the OP mentioned in this thread.  I deleted the symbols folder from the aeroglass folder and rebooted.  Symbols download/installed fine after that.  No more problems.  

  6. Thank you @bigmuscle!!

    Special thanks to Microsoft for not trying to reinvent the wheel on this update.   Aside from aeroglass needing an update (which was only because it's coded for specific versions), this update didn't break any of my settings or programs.     All bigger updates should be like that.  Update security features.. maybe a new feature.. but not reset settings and break programs.

  7. I really wanted to give you a hard time, because if you read the threads in this forum you'd figure it out.  Especially because there's one with a subject and comments where people are specially talking about the Beta.

    Aeroglass has a common theme.  MS puts out a new version of win10 that chances a bunch of cosmetic stuff.  BigMuscle, has to update Aeroglass to adjust for it.  It takes a while, he does a beta, and eventually the new version comes out.  Then a few months later MS puts out yet another version of win10 and the cycle repeats.   I'm pretty sure BigMuscle updates aeroglass solo, which is why it takes so long.

    i checked the thing is i was using Asus maximus VII Ranger motherboard when i have donated it and generated the key
    and then i got this Asus Strix Z370 F Gaming Motherboard then i generated new one it was all working but now i checked and campared with previosly generated keys its all changed.....

    If you changed your mobo then your machine code changed and the old key won't work.  You need to generate a new one.   You can use the link in the original email to access them.  You can have two, so if you only had 1, you can generate a new one right away.   If you used both you have to delete one and way 30 days.

  9. I had no problems using my old key with 1.5.9.   The old keys worked fine on my pc and my laptop.

    I'm not sure what to do?  First you could try to redownload they key (I think the link is in the original email).   If you only have 1 device you could generate a 2nd key.   If those don't work you might have to delete a key and wait 30 days to generate a new one.

  10. It's a tough spot for sure.   It's one guy working on the project, and we only have to pay once for a lifetime license.   The last update came out superquick, but overall they've been slow to come out.   It's too bad MS messes with the OS so much, that it takes BigMuscle month's to fix aeroglass to work with the new version.

     

    Hopefully 1.5.9 comes out soon, but I understand why the updates take so long.
