MrGRiM Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Aero Glass for Windows 8 by BigMuscle AIO InstallerI have made a complete installer for x86 and x64 to take the effort out of installing BigMuscle's Aero Glass, please make a backup or system restore before making any changes to your OS.Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any problems or damage this installer may do.Features:The installer comes with a complete uninstaller, all registries keys are added during installation and also removed when uninstalled, including color swatches.The installer can be used on x86 and x64 systemsAll features are enabled by defaultThe installer also includes the modified simple version of AGTweaker and it will add a desktop shortcut as well as a context menu shortcut for AGTweaker.During uninstall if you are using a custom theme it will revert back to the default Aero theme to prevent the Black Screen bug if you are using Aero Glass to bypass the theme signature.Here are a few screen shots of the installer.Update 17/07/2013:Change Log1. Fixed installer to create correct Registry Value to bypass Theme signature. (Old value was incorrect and not functioning)2. Fixed installer to create correct Registry Value to enable Shader target optimization. (Old value was incorrect and not functioning)3. Fixed uninstall for Custom Color Swatches, now deletes the Control Panel Key for Custom Color Swatches and not just the Swatches values. (Removing just the Swatches Values and not removing the keys left Window Color and Appearance options blank)4. Removed install option for Public Symbol downloading from MS Servers (Is now enabled by default and can not be disabled)5. Added new safety option to revert to Default Aero theme during uninstall to prevent the Black Screen bug if you are using Aero Glass to bypass the theme signature.6. Installer now requires a log off after install instead of just restarting explorer.exe and DWM to ensure the glass effect is rendered correctly and Public symbols are downloaded if needed.Please uninstall the previous version before updating.Download the Aero Glass RC4 AIO Installer from Mediafire.http://www.mediafire.com/download/hwb5k2tj9xp42rv/Aero_Glass_RC4_v0.95.exePlease only post in this thread about any problems you may have with this installer and not in BigMuscle's Aero Glass thread, I have made this separate thread for my installer to prevent people from posting about problems that may not be related to BigMuscle's Aero Glass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGRiM Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) @MrGRiM I tried your new installer and i have a problem that the colours in the colorization menu don't match.. For example when i choose the yellow my windows turn green. Green is light blue etc. It happened with the previous version too!When using AGTweaker to change them all works good but with the installer of @DosProbie i didn't have the same problem. If this is a problem and i should change colours from AGTweaker only.. @Yes bigmuscle you have a point... I don't know how to remove this so i just edit it to say i apologize Not sure why you would have a problem with the swatches, unless you have some other registry settings from a previous version, I have tested this installer on the VM multiple times as well as a live test machine I have just set up and the installer has worked perfectly, one thing you could try I guess is to download the original files for Aero Glass and apply the Swatches registry file and see if that makes any difference. Sorry just read your post again and you said you have also used AGTweaker to modify the colors, this may be the problem if that's the case, I don't think AGTweaker should be used for anything other then setting a custom theme resource and changing the window corners to square or round, leave the personalize settings alone, pretty much all of those other settings are legacy and no longer function as expected in the latest version of Aero Glass, the colors should only be changed in your Windows Color & Appearance settings, this was the whole idea of adding the new swatches, to provide colors that are better suited to the glass effect. I think you are going to have to a bit of a search through your registry and remove any custom registry settings made by this and any other versions of AGTweaker or you will continue to have problems, this is the only problem with AGTweaker, it adds all these registry settings but there is no easy way to remove them and I think it may be best if I just completely remove AGTweaker from my installer.

zampONakiaskiou Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Yeah mate the use of AGTweaker was the reason for me having problems with swatches.I tried it with a fresh install and all works good!Do you know what registry settings should i change to make it work properly on my other machine?I could do a repair too cuz the system is new so if you don't there is no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bphlpt Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 @ping12, Can you please post more details? What worked before and what does it do now? Have you done anything else at all that could have effected this behavior? What have you tried to fix it? What do you mean by "permanently"? What happens after you uninstall? Can you post any logs or screenshots that help explain the situation? Please provide hardware and software descriptions if that could possibly have any impact. etc, etcCheers and Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptd163 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Not sure if it's Aero Glass itself or the your installer, but whenever I boot up there is a black screen for ~10 seconds before it logs in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DosProbie Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Not sure if it's Aero Glass itself or the your installer, but whenever I boot up there is a black screen for ~10 seconds before it logs in.If its a dos console then its probably Symbols downloading for the $M site..

daveo76 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Thanks that was so easy to install. It works excellent using Windows 8 Pro 64-Bit. But can you add Silent Aero Glass by hugemuscle in your installer. If the author allows it. Here the link explaining what Silent Aero Glass is http://hugemuscle.deviantart.com/art/Silent-Aero-Glass-381664297 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
