}SkOrPn--' Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I returned back to my computer and checked the DLL... and now I will look like an as*****... visual studio compiled the DLL into different folder so I uploaded wrong DLL reuploaded Thankyou bigmuscle, and don't worry about it. We all make mistakes. It is working beautifully now! Wonderful!!!! Now THAT looks like a MODERN app... Someone should tweet that to Gabe Aul, with the title "What a Modern App Should Look Like".

DosProbie Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I LIKE it! thanks for the screenshot dhjohns and bm for providing this..ps: dhjohns since there have been issues enabling this feature you may want to provide a step by step tutorial for others.~DPNo issues at all. Just follow these instructions -- 1. Download ModernFrame.7z (the real DLL is now there) from Big Muscle's link, as provided in post 192.2. Extract ModernFrame.dll and save it into the C:\AeroGlass folder (if you have the other file already there just replace it.)3. Open RegEdit and navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows4. Add C:\AeroGlass\ModernFrame.dll to the AppInit_DLLs value. In my case it was empty to start with.5. Change the LoadAppInit_DLLs value to: 0x000000016. Reboot or Log out then back in.7. Start any Modern App. In my case the The Weather Channel App. You will see an extra CMD window showing symbols downloading, etc. Just minimize this along with the normal debug window! Thanks Djohns and My1 ! Just sounds like a lot of rig-a-mo-roe manually, perfect situation for a script installer tho..~DP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My1 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 no problem, but I dont think you can turn off secure boot in a script installer (lol)I assume you need it since the theme SIg override also needed it off...also require Signed AppinitDLls or whatever should also be off or it probably wont work as well, have to try that when I have time, especially secure Boot since you cant really use that on VMs...

My1 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 probably dhjohns didnt run in this problem as well (old PC or VM) and therefor he forgot to state this in his mini-tut, I remembered this from the theme patch, as well as the signed AppInit thing, so I stated it, I usually remember problems I run into more often 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo76 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Thanks BigMuscle. It works for me on a modernapp. Now just need NoelC to do his wonders on the modernapp to make the buttons smaller as he has done on explorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Thanks BigMuscle. It works for me on a modernapp. Now just need NoelC to do his wonders on the modernapp to make the buttons smaller as he has done on explorer. I wish I could find a setting that affects the title bar height, but so far, no luck. It may be hard-coded inside ApplicationFrameHost. Or I may just not have found it yet. For what it's worth, this is as good as I've been able to get it to look so far... Thank you, Big Muscle, for the updated DLL. -Noel Edited February 15, 2015 by NoelC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My1 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 well I'll compare the bar heights later (I use a whole different theme)but one thing we seriously need is to kill off the min height of Apps, I mean II can slim them down like hell, but they are always taking almost the fuull height of my screen (1600x900) -> annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bphlpt Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 If you take the approach that the place that "Metro" apps are best used are on phones or tablets with screens that are smaller than what are typically found on a desktop PC or larger laptop, then that behavior of those Apps to default to the full height of the screen becomes expected and even acceptable in those situations. Now if the app developer wants to have users use those Apps on larger screens, then indeed the height and width of the App window should be able to be specified and/or adjusted by the user.

bigmuscle Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 I wish I could find a setting that affects the title bar height, but so far, no luck. It may be hard-coded inside ApplicationFrameHost. Or I may just not have found it yet.Unfortunately, all values are hardcoded in ApplicationFrame.dll, only a few values are read from theme settings.
