dhjohns Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 thanks DH. you are a legend in my mind too. please tell, did the transparency levels change to the higher in the 1.3.1 or am I mistaken?I don't think so, but it has been a long time since I have used 8.1 on a regular basis.

Splashy Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) Hello. I am running windows 8.1 yet I can't seem to get Glass8 to work. When I try to install I just get an error saying it s not compatible with my version of Windows. Is there a fix, does anyone else have this problem? Exactly what version did you install? Where did you get it? Please be specific. -Noel I had installed the installer for 32 bit and 64 bit Windows 8.1 http://puu.sh/gMTgF/4950b1dcb9.jpg Edited March 23, 2015 by Splashy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Assuming you got it from here: http://www.glass8.eu/download.html ...Did you notice there are two? One for Windows 8.1 and one for Windows 8? Is it possible you downloaded the wrong one? It's been a while since I installed it on Win 8.1, but as I recall I used the installer and it just worked. I suppose something could have been changed on the web site between then and now. -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelC Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I don't have any other advice; perhaps the author (BigMuscle) will chime in tomorrow morning and offer some guidance. -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DosProbie Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I downloaded the Windows 8.1 version. I made sure.why don't you just download the separate installs either 32 or 64-bit depending on your os then created a AeroGlass folder for your system drive for them then run from there. BigMuscle also has a Schedule.bat file if you want to add to task scheduler as well.~DP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Non-installer your will need to manually create a folder called AeroGlass to your systemdrive then copy the downloaded files into it.~DP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splashy Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) I did that and ran AeroHost but I still do not seem to have the glass effect. http://puu.sh/gN2Vn/bb5e05314e.png Edited March 24, 2015 by Splashy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This manual install method for AG is a great option especially when having installer issues with the .exe like you are having. Just keep in mind that you also will have to uninstall manually as well, ie remove AG task from Task Scheduler along with the folder. P.S. If you have not donated as of yet you will get the key popup and desktop AG watermark. ~DPDownload the Aero Glass Task Scheduler script here => http://glass8.eu/out/schedule.bat Edited March 26, 2015 by DosProbie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
