CoolPrizes Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 debug.log contains message "Failed to load custom theme file" which should display error code of theme resource loading - you can then find a explanation of error code here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms681381(v=vs.85).aspxBigmuscle,I don't see anything like that in the log. Just that the license.key has been loaded.Does the "bypass theme signature" need to enabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelC Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Thanks for the feedback, guys. Personally I prefer rounded corners, even if just a hint of them; I feel it makes the system seem more polished or elegant or something.To each his own, and bravo to the people who make it possible to change themes. But the writing is on the wall for all this desktop elegance stuff - Microsoft seemingly doesn't want us doing it and enjoying our desktop experience. They're trying to steer us toward Metro/Modern - and perhaps justifiably so. Writing and maintaining a desktop app is rather complex and error-prone. Perhaps they feel the new application environment will provide a whole new level of productivity in the future.-Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess an option for square/rounded corners wouldn't hurt, if it's not too much trouble!P.S. BIG thank you for doing that, Win8 design is just unacceptable!

rolls Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) I donated and downloaded my license.key file, there are no instructions on what to do with it so I put it in the aero glass folder and restarted, I still get the popup asking me to donate.Why am I still getting this annoying message, you should put instructions on the donate page on what to do.edit: log file says this[0x17A8] Machine ID: 6ALMIDLQLUYTTL7557RSLTV24MYL3BIVKWLD43CI6L3CMAPA[0x17A8] License code: 2148073478[0x17A8] License code: 2148073478 Edited October 13, 2013 by rolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 you should only put it into the Aero folder. After I did this I never got any popup again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelC Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Will you shift your development to Win 8.1 when it's out?I'm having trouble understanding the context of your question.First off, I'm not the developer of Aero Glass for Windows 8. A member named BigMuscle is. But I *do* develop software - just not Aero Glass for Windows 8.If you are asking whether Aero Glass for Windows will be developed for Windows 8.1, then I wonder how it is you don't already know the answer, given the discussions just above and in the threads on the first page this forum. Your question in that context is essentially nonsensical, so I look for another meaning...If you are asking whether I personally plan to develop products that are compatible with Windows 8.1, I am already doing that (desktop products, NOT Metro/Modern). But I am doing so using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 as the bootup OS on my workstation. Windows 8 or 8.1 do not provide me any advantages over Windows 7 so far that make it attractive to me, and in fact have removed features that I actually use. Whether I stick with Windows 7 may change in the future, as it will no doubt become more and more advantageous to keep current. At the moment I test with Windows 8+ in virtual machines using VMware workstation 10.-Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
