Aero Glass for Win8 RC4

[bigmuscle]

http://www.neowin.net/news/add-the-aero-glass-look-to-windows-8-with-the-beta-of-windowblinds-8

Is their definition of "aero glass" simply transparency, or does the screenshot simply not show the blur? The transparency without blur is lame. Certainly better than the default theme, but meh... Why waste time with it.

From all posts I found (e.g. WB developer saying that themes transparency must be adjusted to look good without blur), it seems that it supports pure transparency only. But if anyone wants to have solution without messagebox he can switch to it ... for $50.

Btw, is there any moderator whom I could ask to start deleting all posts relating to the popup message?

I won't pay $50 for that, your Aero Glass will work with the future versions of Windows 8?

I'm pretty sure he is referring to windows blinds for those who can't wait. But if people keep acting like this, he might as well charge so much.

Might be a better idea to close this thread and start a fresh one rather then trying to remove all the useless posts, I check this thread daily to find out if there are any updates or testing I can do but it seems most of the time I am just reading the same thing over and over from all these guys asking the same stupid question.

Yes, Like a hidden forum topic that only special members can see, in this case TESTERS.

BTW, here's my debug log from my two systems, been running RC2 for about 4days or so, regular usage.

Intel HD 3000 | nVidia 9500GT(Tested with Games, no lags or performance issues)

[WindowsOS]

Here is my debug log. Been in use for about 5 days: https://www.dropbox.com/s/csplq0poznot89f/debug.zip

OK on a different note and hopefully something Useful .. I Was looking for a Easy way to toggle DWM Aero Glass On and Off quickly so I wrote this little batch file, just run it from your desktop when you need a quick way to disable aero (like playing games, for all the whinners with the popups etc.) and when done you can just rerun to turn aero back on again, It Works off *DWM directory in C drive but you can always revise the path as needed..

Enjoy DPToggle Aero

*Requires DimasKid's Aero Glass installer @ http://j.gs/706437/aeroglasswin8

Have we been in a time warp for the last 4 days or what??

Good to see the site back up finally!

Perhaps 50 million Windows 8 users hit this thread to see if Aero Glass for Win8 is released.

In a way, the database are the forums. So, when it goes bad, beyond repair, all that can be done is to fall back to an earlier back-up. Whoever (me included) posted during the high instability period we've been trhough, did so at his/her own risk, knowing the database was unstable (so the posts might disappear in the ether). I think we're stable again, but some more days of stability are needed before we can be sure. AFAICS, most posts from the last four days were lost, I'm sorry. Older content is OK.
