Huh good to know I'm still on 1809, how did you end up editing them yourself? And great job, yeah the Vista UX was great!

Sorry for the late reply, the forum didn't notify me of your post till now somehow. That's awesome, I'll fire up my VM and see if it affects anything I use.

CustomizerGod can do it.

Same here

Yeah I never got that either, would you know any logical reason why browsers do that? I thought about that before and came to no conclusion that made any sense but then again I'm not a dev.

I'm using the external manifest way to get my glass back in FF but I can chime-in.

@Tihiy I have a question, I'm testing Windows 10 Build 1903 in a VM at the moment and love the new default-look of the Windows Taskbar when I use the new native Bright theme. The problem is, once I use a custom-theme with UltraUX ThemePatcher, StartIsBack automatically uses the taskbar of the custom-theme with no chance to use the default Windows 10 taskbar again. I tried to work around this by copying the default Windows 10 aero.msstyles into the Styles folder of StartIsBack, then I could select a "aero" theme for the Taskbar but it was still only the Taskbar of the custom-theme installed via UltraUX ThemePatcher. Is there any chance of StartIsBack using the default Windows 10 taskbar when using a custom-theme or is this impossible?

Okay that makes sense as intended behavior I suppose. I always keep the list empty and added a logo there for customization purposes but that was an easy "fix" on my end now. I simply pinned a shortcut with an empty icon and ALT+255 as the name

I just upgraded from 2.7.2 to 2.8.5, does anyone else have the problem that "All Programs" now opens automatically whenever the Start Menu is opened?

I see, well I'm happy enough, the random Steam and other Aero Peek crashes are fixed for me!

Nice, is there a changelog? the one on the website doesn't include 1.5.1.1 yet but so far it works fine

Alright thank you!

Thanks!

I see, where should I upload them to? I noticed the same DWM crashes happening when I ALT+TAB with PS4 Remote Play active. I'll use the beta version temporarily on the weekend as I do not want to run it permanently because of the watermark and debug-window. Updating the drivers didn't help.

So what would you do to disable it, setting MaterialOpacity to 0?

Thank you very much for all this, one thing less to worry about when updating Firefox

Thanks, I will next update! So I just change the Registry Key and then copy the entire content to a file called firefox.exe.manifest right?

Yeah same here! Is there any way to make firefox.exe use an external .exe.manifest file or do we really have to edit the .exe each update?

Good to know I'm not alone. @bigmuscle can we do anything to help fix this? I noticed it happens with Photoshop too in the Aero-preview, DWM.exe crashes for a moment.

I just wanted to chime in that I have the same problem albeit slightly differently. Whenever a Steam message comes in and I hover over the Steam icon in my Taskbar, whenever the aero-preview comes up my GPU driver crashes and restores immediately, Glass8 stays functioning however. I'm running Glass8 1.5.10 on 1809 with a GTX 1070 and 417.35 drivers.

That's a very fair point to make given Microsoft's track-record, I guess we just have to wait and see. On another note I found a breathtaking Windows 11 fan-concept, now that's what MS should strife for:

One question @bigmuscle, I'm looking to install Hyper-V for the first time now on Windows 10 1809, will it affect Glass8 in any way if I already run version 1.5.10?

We might have luck in the future though: https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/174547/windows-10s-login-screen-gets-a-touch-of-fluent-design If the login gets affected hopefully the shutdown too.

Whoops thank you, I must have overlooked these when looking at the FAQ. I will play around with these though I think I'll leave them at default as I still use a .msstyles theme made for 1803 which works like a charm.

Oh nice, thanks I'll try it later! I use a custom .msstyles theme so I have the native Windows 10 setting enabled but still prefer the glass-titlebar for a more consistent look as the borders of modern apps still get affected. I'm with you through for the average user it's better to not have it injected when running in Windows 10 mode.
