FIX (4 hours of work)

What did that involve?

Are you going to share it with others?

Does it place a blur behind the title bar text of File Explorer and Wordpad windows?

As many times said, you cannot achieve glow effect on ribbon-like windows just by editing theme resource (atlas), because these windows render the title on their own using DrawThemeText API function. This function respects the settings which is applied directly in your Windows theme.

Maybe I missed something, but I don't know just WHAT he did, whether it was just changing the theme resource or something more sophisticated and involved - which is why I asked.

Aero Glass not implemented in Recycle bin Dialogue box, Is it a Bug?

[slimrock]

Suddenly After system restart this is what I have got, Lost the translucency and Blur ?

PS: Aero Glass worked fine for few days, No custom Themes installed & No patching done.

Is there any incompatibility of Aero Glass 8 with WindowFX 5.1 from Stardock? None of the effects in that program work ? Any known issue ?

slimrock: it means that your DWMGlass.dll has not been loaded properly (not due to some incompatibility but DLL is not loaded at all)

surcix: no known problems. I have tried Window FX, version which was available in August, and it was working correctly.

I enjoy this program but on my laptop when I unplug and run on battery it disables Aero. Any work around for this? Maybe a registry setting?

[NoelC]

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM:DisableGlassOnBattery (DWORD 0x0 / 0x1 = default)

So what should I do to make it work ?

[bigmuscle]

install it

[slimrock]

install it

Its already installed and was working fine for few days, Do I need to uninstall & Reinstall it ?

[bigmuscle]

If you already installed it then 1) you either enabled secure boot which blocks DLL loading or 2) you used some 3rd party tweaker which messed up your settings and deleted the DLL from loading list.
