And there is no debug.log near aerohost.exe? As the host is running, it have to pass over initial log message. If it is not there, it is your privileges. Ensure that read and write privileges to your folder are correct. I just again remind it is not enough that privileges are enabled for your account (or your account has admin rights). It must be for Everyone, because aerohost.exe and dwm.exe runs under different user credentials.

Also, which could help - could you generate minidump for both aerohost.exe and dwm.exe and send them to me? I think that Task Manager should be able to generate it.

I checked the rights for c:\aeroglass folder. They were ok, but I manually added 'all' permissions to all users. Then I killed aerohost process in taskmanager, and opened install.bat from rc3 - aerohost launched, but nothing has changed. No debug is still created. But if I replace in the folder dwmglass.dll and aerohost with rc3 files and run install.bat - everything immediately works fine and debug begins to log. That's why I think this is not connected with write permissions...

Here are the two dumps generated by the taskmanager for aerohost and dwm. Hope they'll help http://www18.zippyshare.com/v/27944963/file.html

Why is it when i restart computer i get a black rectangular box around the glowing text, but when i restart the dwm by the aero glass configurator it shows glowing text without the black box surrounding the text like its supposed to from the start.

Every time i restart comp i have to open the configurator and press apply to remove the black rectangular box

+1
As i mentioned that before, only for battery mode. Btw, i don't remember having this with early RC versions.

well I only notice this every time after turned on my laptop. once restart dwm, no matter how many times I restart windows, it looks fine. yes, as fas as I remember, it doesn't occur on RC release

What mean HIWORD of value in "TextGlowMode"? I have DWORD value 0x00000003. How i can increase glow size?

to create a DWORD from a HIWORD and LOWORD, you can use this equation: HIWORD * 65536 + LOWORD = your DWORD (in this, case HIWORD is the size of glow you want, LOWORD is 3, and the resulting DWORD is the number you hace to use in Registry)

So, if i want to make size of glow 2, then 2*65536 + 3 = 131075. This DWORD is 0x00131075 ?

Then it seems it hangs on user check. I will try to analyze your dumps. Thanks.

Do not use such complicated math. Just divide DWORD into the same long parts (WORDs) and set them separately. Just remember that you must use hexadecimal format. E.g. 0x000a0003 (=>HIWORD = a (which is 10 in decimal), LOWORD = 3)

Thanks for final release! What about additional library or tool for bypassing verifying theme signature?

Currently not, because it would require AppInit_DLLs injection again.

I'm having the caption issue similar to what has been posted before, but for me it's not happening all the time. It seems to appear every other boot, restarting dwm.exe solves it. Explorer is fine, resizing window doesn't solve it, all new non-explorer windows get the bug as well.

Debug log with EnableLogging 0x1 here, issue first started happening with RC3, log here.

Soukyuu: Your log is invalid as it comes from some very old Windows 8 version.

dzup: already answered - you have invalid permission on donation key. Error 5 means "Access denied".

for those who have glow problem - what is your TextGlowMode settings?

good to see quite a few people here are experiencing the same problem with 1.0

my text glow mode is set to 1 and size is set to 0, ive tried all other modes and still comes with a rectangular box once you restart your computer.

And what happens when glow mode is set to zero (to completely disable it)?

same thing, even with glow mode set to 0 after a computer restart the black box appears. Only by restarting dwm fixes the issue for some reason

dont know if this helps but i dont get any error after a restart in the debug.log except for:

[2014-01-22 05:50:51][0x78:0x188] CoCreateInstance(CLSID_WICImagingFactory, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_PPV_ARGS(&pImageFactory)) failed with 0x800401F0

PS: I dont get this error if i only restart the dwm
