Hadden Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Yes, this is ok. UxThemeSignatureBypass.dll is not fully compatible with current version of aeroglass/modernframe yet. EDIT: It means, it ignores atlas layout file. Ok. Thank you for the patience and thanks for your work =) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhjohns Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) Hello, I just installed 32-bit+64-bit (Updated on 14th August 2015) on an installation clean (build 10240 64-bit) and this is what I get: I would like to know If this is normal At this stage of development or if I forget something ? I must admit that I don't understand this. Why non-advanced users bother with non-finished development version if they are not even able to read instructions, guide, notes etc. before downloading? What is the sense in using installer on Win10 if it is marked as "IMPORTANT: Do NOT use on Windows 10 RTM 10.0.10240." ???? And it is not only this... why some users are injecting DWMGlass.dll via old AppInit_DLLs on Win10 when nobody says it to do it so? Why? .... I'm asking because every while I get some bug reports where the only cause it that user was not able to install it correctly. So again for everyone: !!! IF YOU ARE NOT ADVANCED USERS AND YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO INSTALL THE DEBUG VERSION PROPERLY THEN DO NOT USE IT !!! Here is what I use to inject AeroGlass. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]@="mnmsrvc""AppInit_DLLs"="C:\\AeroGlass\\UxThemeSignatureBypass64.dll C:\\AeroGlass\\DWMGlass.dll C:\\AeroGlass\\ModernFrame.dll""LoadAppInit_DLLs"=dword:00000001"RequireSignedAppInit_DLLs"=dword:00000000I have no trouble with Modern Apps or regular windows. EDIT: I do install OldNewExplorer, and a Black Theme from MrGRiM, and that resolves the issue for the ModernFrame not picking up the png.layout. Otherwise, there is an issue in the title bar.

dhjohns Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I looked in the Details tab in Task Manager, and I noticed that when I install AeroGlass the "normal" way that both aerohost.exe, and dwm.exe are running, but if dwm.exe is injected in AppInit_DLLs then just dwm.exe is running. My question BigMuscle is "what is the difference?" What does aerohost.exe do, and why does everything seemingly behave the same when it is not running?

My1 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I think the difference is the injection, in case of AppInit all processes get the dll and in case of aerohost.exe, it somehow manages to inject just into DWM, also iirc aerohost works fine even with secureboot, not sure about that, by the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using the same inject config.. Could you link MrGrim atlas? I'll try it.. I'll also try to "skip" .layout schemeI'll look at the oldnewexplorer too (it'll disable ribbon, it is?). I used it a long time ago - on win 8, but then I rollback to 7. (But honestly I never liked the command bar)At the time I also used a .dll hack (with resource hacker) to hide/disable (not recommended) the command bar WITH classic shell enabled, resembling the explorer look of xp (but with more customizations).The titlebar issue in explorer I posted above, seems be caused by ribbon: while I was testing, the network connections page - that doesn't use ribbon but command bar - was correctly rendered with no "glitches".

TheClock Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I found a minor bug. Some minor artifacts are created when a Universal app is on top on one another. Since the screen refreshes once I make a screenshot, I couldn't get any images. However, it can be replicated pretty easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the link to MrGRiM http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/69707-Windows-10-Black-Edition I am sure you will need to register to get the downloads. Also, if you choose NOT to use png.layout everything will be helter skelter! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmuscle Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 AppInit_DLLs registry value:* security risk (aerohost verifies if DLL is correct)* secure boot must be turned off* loads DLL into any process -> DLL can negatively influence behaviour of any application on your system* loads DLL very early in main thread -> race condition can cause any application to deadlock (e.g. black screen on startup etc.)* does not have access to user session -> per-user settings won't be loaded 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
