raiden89 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Lol no one said it was true. However, Winbeta is not in the habit of posting lies. If they believe its a rumor, then they will plainly state to "take it with a grain of salt."Whether they are going to bring blur back wont be for sure until we get the final build and see if its been put back in. It does seem pretty out there for them to be re-adding it back in after they seemed pretty adamant about removing it.According to the comments, it kinda appears that Winbeta might not have known about this particular trick. Its the same registry key used in previous builds of Win8.Oh well, we'll know in a month or two. Most likely not gonna happen tho. Edited February 6, 2014 by raiden89
Eyeman Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Guys I'm having problems, I'm trying to make the windows borders round, increase the shadows behind the windows, and raise the blur a bit more, but I'm not having any sucess. I created the registry's and restarted the computer, but it looks the same. Here's a pic of my registry.
oomek Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 How is the progress with fixing window's caption colour?
Soukyuu Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Check this out...looks like MS might be putting you outta business soon BigMuscle.http://www.winbeta.org/news/aero-glass-can-be-enabled-recently-leaked-build-windows-81-update-1Hopefully, it'll be just as stable as this amazing project has been.Isn't that just the same thing you could do in win8/8.1 by glitching the high contrast theme? The article mentions the key is called HideBlur, that's quite the opposite of what glass on vista/7 was doing - and what's bigmuscle's glass is doing. I think it's more of a leftover from the pre win8 days than signs of aero coming back.

echelon629 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) Does any one know why the transparency effect is getting disabled after I restart my computer. It works fine when I first install it but then I restart and the transparency effect if gone?Cheers, Edited February 7, 2014 by echelon629
JohnnieDyer Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 How do i stop the glass going off on laptop battery? Also my donation key still isnt working. Works on laptop not on computer. dont know why
NoelC Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 You need a different one for each computer; it's tied to the identity of some of the parts (e.g., disk drive).-Noel
sudalz Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I installed this on two laptops, with almost identical configurations. It is working on both, but I am able to adjust blur and transparency only on one laptop. On the second one, no matter what value I give for blur deviation, it stays pretty blurred - even if I change it to zero. I have tried adjusting values manually via registry, as well as with MrGrim's aero configurator, but the blur stays the same. I have intel hd graphics on both, and on the second laptop, I also have an Nvidia card in addition. The second laptop is the one on which blur doesn't reduce.
bigmuscle Posted February 7, 2014 Author Posted February 7, 2014 I think it's enough to read the first post in this topic to solve your problem.
ahlot Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Does any one know why the transparency effect is getting disabled after I restart my computer.

helmutcheese Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I was going to post that Windows 8.1 update+Aero info last night but TBH its true what that link says in that its there hidden in each test build of Windows 8 and probably will be removed by RTM so I reframed.
stonyi1966 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Installed the new 8.1 update 1 msu's and AeroGlass isn't working now, any ideas or will it have uninstall these updates to get Glass back?

mimorqleko Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) @bigmuscle: v1.1 its not retrieving "disableglassonbatt" registry setting in HKCU (I haven't tried it in HKLM). When running on batt you only get the aero effect immediately after install BUT not after the rebooting.This was issue was not present in v1.0 (most of the time I run in batt mode and had no issues).Also, why don't you consider reverting that default setting to an "always on" mode? Seriously, I don't think the majority cares about sacrificing some batt to get this effect.RegardsEDIT: BTW, I'm running win8.1 rtm x86 Edited February 7, 2014 by mimorqleko
