DoubleSAnimations Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I'm new to the forum, I've been following this topic for a long while now. Looking forward to the final release. Very good job so far to the Aero Glass Project, BigMuscle.1 small edit on the DWMGlass.dll file (Edited using Resource Hacker, probably the most basic program one can use. Idk) More Visble Aero Stripes. Windows 7 Color Swatches (Aero Glass needs to be active)How i can have the blue like you? I have applied your reg file, but no difference.After you have Aero Glass working, meaning the window frames are transparent the Color Swatches from Windows 7,In that reg file, are suppose to work automatically, because the color info and the images from the "Color and Appearence", I believe read off the "DWMGlass.dll" file. As long as that dll file is active the new pre-set Windows 7 colors work.Whenever you have the DWMGlass.dll inactive, meaning when it's not showing Aero transparency on the window frames, there's a "Error loading Pre-set Colors message." I'm not sure if that's your case.How to the colors appear on your Color and Appearence Window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace2 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Copy dwmcore.dll and uDWM.dll TO C:\AeroGlassIt is very wrong idea to copy any system libraries (except of symsrv.dll and dbghelp.dll) into Aero Glass folder because it can load wrong DLL version later which results in bad behaviour from crashes to whole OS failure.But this only work/auto downloads symbols with License.key, is this right ?where as Copy dwmcore.dll and uDWM.dll TO C:\AeroGlass and cmds work without License.key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmuscle Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 This has nothing to do with license. If these DLLs are present in AG folder then DWM process can accidentally load these libraries instead of those in System32 directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLK320 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Does anyone know of a way to hide the dwm.exe window? I use RTtray but it doesn't want to hide this one :/Using HideAnyWindow here and it's working fine.http://www.morun.net/www/downloads/hideanywindow.htmlWhat did you set to hide dwm.exe window? There's another window related with bigmuscle's solution "Information". I hide it with HideAnyWindow by rule: title window include "Information", I did same thing with dwm.exe but this windows always starts with Win 8 and don't know solution to hide it. Can someone help?You need to set it up using window title name "dwm.exe", then it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
