[Win8 RP Aero Glass design]

Hello!

Try using the Aero Glass GUI / Accent / Opacity 

 

[Aero Glass 1.5.9 causing CPU overload]

Now I can safely say that the only way I found to reduce my CPU/GPU load to its 10-20% normal levels was to install a AG 1.5.9 version that I found on the internet off the official site.

Now the windows move continuously with smoothly, mouse and window movements and opening the start menu do not significantly influence the CPU/GPU load.

Now I do not need to stop AG when I have to work.
Back to normal life! 

[Aero Glass 1.5.9 causing CPU overload]

Now I can safely say that disabling transparency in the Chrome title bar in this way,

1. Open Chrome and paste chrome://flags/#windows10-custom-titlebar on adress bar then hit enter.
2. On "Custom-drawn Windows 10 Titlebar", choose "Default"
3. Restart Chrome and title bar glass is gone.

substantially decreased my CPU load, but AG still consumes a lot of CPU/GPU resources, more than previous versions.

Actually I can't.  I can download a theme and install it but when I try to select it it just loads windows 10 theme elements and nothing from the 3rd party theme.  However I can get things looking how I want using just AeroGlass and a theme atlas that I got from elsewhere on this site so all is good for me.

What you need is just a method for "UxTheme Signature Bypass".

What are you, a mole?
You have the whole Deviantart to look for and said there is not.

See: Here for exemple.

I wish I could still use custom themes but because I forgot to remove AeroGlass and the theme bypass before updating to 1709 it's completely broken custom themes for me.  A reinstall of Windows would fix it but it takes far too long to reinstall everything.

You can use third party themes if you want, what you said does not stop you from doing so and you do not need to reinstall Windows.

Jesus, I give up. The guy is an id***. I wasted half an hour of my life trying to explain not everyone wants to install five other programs just to install a stupid theme, and he just goes

"When OldNewExplorer not work on future, it will has update"

Wasted money.

I install the necessary minimum and also do not like to install OldNewExplorer because I like the New Explorer and not the old one. I do not want to be stuck in the past.

99% of the themes are free, I told you where to find them https://www.deviantart.com/devillnside, but you preferred to pay, now do not complain. 

You can learn from own mistakes or from the mistakes of others!

With AG active, just opening the start menu overloaded my GPU by 90-100% but the CPU does not get overloaded.

The solution to this issue is to "Download symbols", search here in forum for this.

You can try to increase dedicated to GPU memory via BIOS to 256Mb. But on my Intel HD 2000 Sandy Bridge on my work comp 128Mb didn't cause a problem...

I've never seen option in my BIOS to increase dedicated GPU memory, I will look again, but anyway I think that nothing will change.

I noticed that when the CPU is overloaded the GPU glues by 90-100% and the GPU memories almost do not change.

But I can create a theme and use it without problems - I mean otherwise there wouldn't be the "use custom theme" option etc., where I can apply what I previously customized.

How do you define third party theme anyway? And is this new to Windows 10? I tried googling around and found pretty much nothing.

Custom theme is created when you modify an existing theme and can be signed or not depending on which theme you have used to modify.

If you read a few previous posts here you will see links to third party themes and they can be found here too for example:

Could anyone explain what does "UxTheme Signature Bypass" mean? I've just installed the program and know nothing about all this.

In few words:
Windows does not allow you to apply third-party themes (Themes not signed by Microsoft), so if you want to apply a third-party theme, you will need a method for Bypass Theme Signature and one of the methods is to use UxTSB.dll which is the bigmuscle's method for this.

Problem was solved by replacing theme files and UxTSB.dll via file manager program. Before it theme files and UxTSB.dll was copied in their locations via windows explorer. I think that problem was in that.

I just deleted theme and UxTSB.dll. Opened Far Manager and copy theme and dll again and all start to work.

Thanks to all who tried to help!

This seems to have been files blocked by Windows.

What GPU and how much videomemory? Maybe lack of videomemory?

Good observation, well remembered.
When the CPU is overloaded the GPU and its memory are also overloaded. I will pay attention to the GPU resources.

My GPU is Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 (HSW-DT GT2), 1200MHz, 80 cores, 20 CUs, Driver 20.19.15.4835
Graphic adapter: Intel Haswell-DT GT2 - Integrated Graphics Controller

Windows Task Manager without processor overload:
Dedicated Memory: 0.0 / 128MB
Shared Memory: 0.5 / 2GB

This means that problem is in my system... But what can be wrong?

Try to paste this shell:::{ED834ED6-4B5A-4bfe-8F11-A626DCB6A921} into the explorer address bar, hit enter and select the theme here.

It may fail the first time, select a default theme, reset the pc and try again.

does someone have a installer for theme signature bypass? thanks

Aero Glass is an installer for UxTSB.dll (Theme Signature Bypass).

Install any of the latest versions of AG that support UxTSB.dll, place UxTSB.dll in the same folder as AG and create a task to kill (reset) dwm.exe and you will have only one installed UxTSB.dll without glass effect.

If you want the glass effect too, use the correct AG version for your Windows version together with UxTSB.dll without the task to kill dwm.exe, of course.

@bigmuscle,

Hi, thanks for AG.

I have seen here reports of previous versions, maybe AG 1.5.8 causing memory overload when used along with a video stream and this also happened to me.

Today I use W10 17134.165 with two monitors, one for work and the other for a video stream (via browser, Chrome, flash) that is active while the pc is on.

I noticed that when AG v1.5.9 is active it causes an overload in my processor of some 30% more which gets to produce shorts freezes in the movement of the mouse and windows. So I can not use AG today.

Any movement on the screens, even the mouse, causes an increase in the CPU. Opening a browser also produces a large CPU increment.

I already downloaded symbols and it did not solve and a dwm reset solves temporarily.

Is it only with me?

GTI
