inactive windowframe opaqueness = 100?

Featured Replies

no matter what i try i can't seem to get the inactive windows to be completely opaque whereas i can acheive this with the active window by simply using the  AeroGlassGui.exe.   Can somone please help me? 

On Windows version __?

 

For me, with Win 8.1, just changing the Inactive frames slider makes the inactive window borders opaque.

 

With Win 10 the rules are different.

1.  Win8.1 u1

2.  I assuming you're referring to the slider in AeroGlassGUI.exe?  For me when i hover over the slider when it's all the way to the right, it displays 20% as the max amount.  Do you get this too?

Though I don't use it at 100%, I seem to be able to move it to 100%...

I think i found the problem; according to the aero glass website:

"But remember that colorization of the frame is also influenced by used theme. Majority of the themes have set opacity of inactive frames to 20%."

 

So my next question is what theme are  you using? 

I just use the stock Windows 8.1 theme with my own theme atlas.

I've since developed a nicer one for Win 10 and I've been considering porting the buttons back to Win 8.

 

Sometimes I do wish the controls had more style (e.g., scroll bar thumbs especially).  But the stock theme has been very stable.

What is a theme atlas? 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM]"CustomThemeAtlas"="C:\\AeroGlass\\Atlas\\1_Win7_Rd_10041.png"

What is a theme atlas? 

1. Read here about the Atlas => http://www.glass8.eu/guide.html
2  You will need a .png atlas file for correct build and theme
3. Then add to registry to activate, like this reg example above.

Here is a 'Windows 7 Rounded Atlas Theme' by Hocknic that I am using for Windows 10 build 10041.

I was talking about the program that lets you adjust the way aeroglass looks, not aero glass.

Works just fine. Use ff (not ie)....
