  1. I've noticed a bug with Aero Glass when I send an email using Hotmail/Outlook and when the broswer finishes sending the email, the tab will become transparent and looks out of place, and I have provided an image underneath

    This is interesting. I guess the tab belongs to Firefox and not to Outlook mail? Do you use custom theme, or theme resource? I see this more as a bug in FF theme but I don't see the way how could it achieve...

    I'm not using any themes in Firefox, just the default theme. However, this problem doesn't happen in Chrome or Internet Explorer, only Firefox which is strange.

  2. Sorry, I'm a bit confused here, I can only see one registry file and thats swatches_hkcu.reg, I clicked on that but I don't see anything coming up on the registry. Isn't there meant to be another registry file where it creates the values in the registry, LoadGlass__AppInit_DLLs? It appears to be absent in this version. Sorry if I sound like a noob, but I'm not too familar with registry files and so on.

    Open notepad and paste these lines:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]"LoadAppInit_DLLs"=dword:00000001"AppInit_DLLs"="C:\\Windows\\DWM\\DWMGlass.dll""RequireSignedAppInit_DLLs"=dword:00000000

    (don't forget to change a real AeroGlass folder location (I put it under C:\Windows - don't like many folders in the root directory))

    Save it under "AeroGlassReg.reg" name and execute with regedit.exe

    After that, open task manager and kill process dwm.exe (it will restart shortly), and you allset ;)

    Thanks, that worked perfectly.

  4. I heard the Start Button will only bring up Metro/Start Screen, not the classic Start Menu, which is a fail move from Microsoft. Why are they so hesitant and stubborn about this, according to them "nobody uses the Start Menu"... epic fail there Microsoft.

  5. Don't bother, its not worth it. After all the issues I went through I'm back to using Windows 7. Running Windows 8 on a VirtualBox for further testing. It was stupid enough that Microsoft had to get rid of the Start button and other useful features which is enough for you to want to throw your computer out of the window.
