adacom Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 atlas's are easy enough - a few hours work [at most] in photoshop gets most things as i want it - themes are a different problem but they are again possible - anything is better than the bland rubbish Microsoft want us to useGet back to us when you got 'er done! LOL leave it to you - we all want different things in it - like i say its not hard - photoshop - reshacker [or similar] and a bit of patience
NoelC Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Thing is, without Big Muscle's software supporting the translation between graphic elements in the PNG and the needs of the OS, it gets too tedious to keep changing the graphics to match. Microsoft's strategy is to wear tweakers down - quite clearly - and it's working. -Noel
genecooper Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) I'm using this one: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/174668-experimental-builds/page-6#entry1112005, Noel's SquareCornersNoExtraColor10586.png. Made a substantial improvement. Am I missing something or is this a proper theme atlas for this build? I'm running 10586, not any insider build. Edited February 7, 2016 by genecooper
NoelC Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Yes, those go together fine. Big Muscle's software uses the information in the .layout file to map the theme atlas graphics to the needs of the OS. -Noel 1
carlitosoo555 Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) Aeroglass in build 14271 is causing a weird bug in the Action center and Start menu when blur is activated, but, for me, looks awesome: Edited February 27, 2016 by carlitosoo555
genecooper Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) Got an incompatibility error that specified Aero Glass for 8.1+ (using build 1.4.5) after installing cumulative update KB3140743 that brings build 10586 to 10586.122, but it went away after a second re-boot. Anyone else experience this? Edited March 4, 2016 by genecooper
NoelC Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Yes, it's supposed to download debug symbols if something significant has changed, and it appears to have done so. I'm happy to report Aero Glass seems to have been able to re-hook build 10586.122 after the symbol download okay. It still seems to work.[2016-03-02 23:32:08][0x614:0x618] Installing DWM hook...[2016-03-02 23:32:11][0x614:0x618] User: SYSTEM[2016-03-02 23:32:11][0x614:0x618] Module: C:\AeroGlass\DWMGlass.dll[2016-03-02 23:32:11][0x3BC:0xBE4] Machine ID: YZUQCG6OCCLNFHOTLO335QDLJRAKI4LOGH5LOSAU3ILTAPGV[2016-03-02 23:32:11][0x3BC:0xBE4] Checking key 4af2f15f4f68554ea864fc939f162002833b9f57dbe47a75c73a948c9b3f8fbe2eb6100fd9d9a9d5b5d5a5fe86c507c7 for ID YZUQCG6OCCLNFHOTLO335QDLJRAKI4LOGH5LOSAU3ILTAPGV...[2016-03-02 23:32:11][0x3BC:0xBE4] Hook (USER32.dll!DrawTextW from udwm.dll) installed[2016-03-02 23:32:11][0x3BC:0xBE4] Hook (GDI32.dll!CreateBitmap from udwm.dll) installed[2016-03-02 23:32:11][0x3BC:0xBE4] Hook (GDI32.dll!CreateRoundRectRgn from udwm.dll) installed[2016-03-02 23:32:11][0x3BC:0xBE4] Aero Glass for Win8.1+ 1.4.5.520 x64 correctly loaded (C:\AeroGlass\DWMGlass.dll).[2016-03-02 23:32:11][0x3BC:0x5E8] DBGHELP: Symbol Search Path: .;SRV*C:\AeroGlass\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols[2016-03-02 23:32:11][0x3BC:0x5E8] Loading settings (flags = 0x3) from HKEY 0x0000000000000000 for session #1[2016-03-02 23:32:11][0x3BC:0x5E8] dwmcore.dll version 10.0.10586.112[2016-03-02 23:32:11][0x3BC:0x5E8] udwm.dll version 10.0.10586.122[2016-03-02 23:32:17][0x3BC:0x5E8] Symbols loaded from external files: 0x8-Noel 1
innuendo33 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Hi NoelC I have the same issue since 10586.122 update but aeroglass doesn't seem to download from symbols servers ( warning as failed to conenct ) and when I try to go there ( http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols) nothing appears Server is down ?
Shining Escuridao Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Hi NoelC I have the same issue since 10586.122 update but aeroglass doesn't seem to download from symbols servers ( warning as failed to conenct ) and when I try to go there ( http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols) nothing appears Server is down ? Not NoelC but I found a method on how to manually download symbols that someone posted here a while backJust follow the instructions here http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/174355-aero-glass-for-win81-14/page-4#entry1107168
NoelC Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Sometimes it seems to take a few tries. Reboot a few times. -Noel
innuendo33 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 thanks for replies but I still have the error mess even when rebooting few times I try re install aero glass
NoelC Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 It will only auto-download the symbols if you have a valid donation.key. I should have mentioned that before. You probably do, but just thought I'd throw that out there. I recall in past history it has taken days to work for some folks. I don't think reinstalling is going to help. -Noel
innuendo33 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Yes Noel I got 2 valid key from donation , but it failed when searching to download from servers - so I have no clue even with "manual" advice from shining escuridao
NoelC Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 I can't advise further. Perhaps Big Muscle has some ideas why symbols downloading might be balky for some folks. He'll probably ask you for your debug.log file from the AeroGlass folder. -Noel
Shining Escuridao Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 If it failed to download from the server then perhaps you didn't install the debugging tools from microsoft or maybe its blocked on the firewall?
