shelter Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Nice job, seems to hang together here. Seems to work with my theme atlas (which by the way you're welcome to distribute with the product if you want). I seem to have lost the ability to adjust my FrameMargin setting somewhere along the way. Borders are all very thin now. -Noel There's no top white border on steam/photoshop windows anymore, I think there used to be?There's also a space between the border and the actual startmenu layout on the right side of the start menu, view against a white background with text to see it easier.

ralcool Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Here is my small example of a non-glass vs glass desktop. Small but noticable. Less white. Stronger details. Title contrast helps immensely. -sean 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhancis1982 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Thanks bigmuscle. Experimental debug version for build 10240 works just fine. Is there a way to change/increase transparency level besides choosing the lightest accent color? Edited July 28, 2015 by Zhancis1982 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhjohns Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hello, i receive the following message when run the file "This service is not support to be executed by the user." This means you need to become administraorom? But I have all administrative rights! No, it must be run from task manager. What I do now (it is easier) is create a folder and name it Aeroglass. I then copy the debug files to it. Then I install the 1.3.1 version for Windows 8.1. It will ask if you want to install to AeroGlass folder, say yes. Do not check Shiny Aeroglass theme. Then you are good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelC Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 It's a debug build, for testing. You can expect to see a DWM.exe debug window. Just minimize it and ignore it. -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Does the ModernFrame.dll work anymore? It appears to function in a fashion, yes. However, I'd suggest waiting for another release that's made to work with the latest Aero Glass components. You'll notice it's no longer available for download on Big Muscle's site. -Noel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the Testing version of GUI application to modify Aero Glass parameters from this page: http://www.glass8.eu/download.html -Noel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhjohns Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) I inserted ModernFrame.dll, and it works well on some apps, such as store, MS Solitaire Collection, Calendar, and The Weather Channel app, works somewhat on Twitter, and doesn't work at all on Calculator, People, or Edge. So it is definitely not crashing anything, but not working with everything.

NoelC Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) Well, I see translucency at the top of the one Modern App I can run with UAC disabled (the Settings App), but... 1. The title text is doubled, with black or dark gray text to the left, and white (my chosen color) text to the right. 2. The title text "glow" (for me it's gray, darker than the text) is offset to be above the text. 3. The caption buttons do not always activate when I hover over them. I seem to have to slide over to the minimize or restore buttons before the close button will work. 4. The title bar height is larger than other windows, yet the caption buttons are short yet wider than on other windows. 5. The caption indicators within the buttons (e.g., the X) don't gray out on inactive windows like they do on normal windows. I don't know which of these issues Big Muscle can improve or rework, but Modern Apps are not fully integrated looking by the previously released ModernFrame.dll. -Noel Edited July 29, 2015 by NoelC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
