NOTES:

Works with AeroGlass Beta 4

By the way, the HKEY_CURRENT_USER method of specifying the Theme Atlas file still seems to be a bit iffy in beta 4. I've been through about a dozen reboots getting things installed over the past day and I've had my themeatlas.png file ignored twice or three times (restarting DWM fixed it).

This has worked every time for me, though I hesitate to say "every time" definitively yet since I have only had it in place a little while...

So when this happens again, just provide debug.log. Maybe I forgot about something. I just only noticed that glow effect is not correctly updated on existing windows on reboot, but it's minor issue.

[NoelC]

Sorry, I should have thought of that. I had my hands full setting everything up, so I kind of needed to employ the workaround right away.

I still, of course, have the debug.log file, which appears to be cumulative. If you had put time stamps in it, it could be more useful. Maybe it is anyway. Here it is:

[bigmuscle]

yeah, I'm still saying that I will add timestamps but always forget to do it. Nevermind, I found it in the log and now I have to find a reason why DWM loads theme earlier than it is notified that user has logged in (so my Aero Glass cannot access your HKCU during theme loading). It should normally not happen.

[NoelC]

This is a hugely fast system running from an SSD array.

Plus I've used netplwiz to set up auto-logon, so it's logging-on faster than is humanly possible.

@ace2 i can't download symbols manually from the server it only copies two file and then gives error files mismatch

EDIT: After few tries i got those three files but now i'm getting this window.
if i try to close it it restarts explorer.exe

please give a solution

That's not a bug.

That DWM window is expected and necessary for gathering debugging info and for restarting Aero Glass as needed. I believe BigMuscle will eliminate it when the software is released.

Minimize it and ignore it for now.

thanks bro

please give a solution

1.Run symbols.cmd As (Admin) UNTIL YOU HAVE dwm.pdb & dwmcore.pdb & uDWM.pdb IN C:\AeroGlass\symbols

2.Make ToggleDesktop.cmd & Copy ToggleDesktop.cmd TO C:\AeroGlass

@echo offcd /d %~dp0TIMEOUT /T 4 >NULStart ToggleDesktop.vbs

3.Make ToggleDesktop.vbs & Copy ToggleDesktop.vbs TO C:\AeroGlass

dim objShellset objShell = CreateObject("shell.application")objShell.ToggleDesktopset objShell = nothing

4.Make ToggleDesktop.reg & Merge

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]"Userinit"="C:\\Windows\\system32\\userinit.exe,C:\\AeroGlass\\ToggleDesktop.cmd"
