Recommended Posts


can someone tell me the default registry keys for the highlighted texts?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]
"LoadAppInit_DLLs"=dword:00000001
"AppInit_DLLs"="C:\\DWM\\DWMGlass64.dll"
"RequireSignedAppInit_DLLs"=dword:00000000

and the default color swatches?

Default values:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]"LoadAppInit_DLLs"=dword:00000000"AppInit_DLLs"="""RequireSignedAppInit_DLLs"=dword:00000001
Default values for user swatches: none.

The regkey "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel" does not exists on my computer before installing swatches.reg

no hopefully not, the tweaker only causes issues for users and makes it harder foe BM to see if the bugs come from his DLL or this tweaker.

Sort of all the more reason to update it really, there are still allot of people who will use it anyway and the best thing would be if there was a version that worked only with the correct registry settings, I know allot of people who think that AGTweaker is Aero Glass, most people out there using BM's work don't even know he made it and this has nothing to do with making Aero Glass work lol

Besides it still has a couple of useful functions, one being a way to disable glass and being able to set a custom theme resource, I am not sure if these people realize but it still works fine with the latest version of Aero Glass anyway, all that needs to be done is remove all the old settings that are no longer valid.

Download link : AGTweaker-1.3.2.zip [Direct Link]

Get the Sources : AGTweaker-1.3.2-Sources.zip [Direct Link]

Sources are released under the CCDL license. (why ?)

BigMuscle's DLL files are not provided in the same archive so you'll have to download them separately.

Upgrading from a previous version :

Use the button in bottom right corner of AGTweaker to delete the previously installed DLL.

It will probably disable glass and say that's still in use, so restart your computer (with glass disabled), re-launch AGTweaker and press this button again.

It should then display "Successfully deleted" and you'll be able to install the new version properly.

- Any feedback is appreciated !

Do not forget that this thread is only about the GUI.

Feedback for the main Aero Glass App should be made on the main thread.

So, where to download that .dll file ?

No newer versions of AGT for the final versions then? Without the tweaker I can't see how to easily make AG adjustments, which makes the whole exercise difficult, for me at least. That's a shame, but I can understand.
