pipalou50 Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 for my part, and with regret, I gave up aero glass, updates as an insider no longer allow me to install and reinstall the software. and I think BigMuscle has to make white hair too !!! so, no need to harass him ... I'm not saying that Aero Glass is dead, I'm just saying that the next version is not for now .. thank you to BigMuscle for his great job ... and his deserved to read your comments some of which are hardly encouraging for him !

From a post by @412070391 (which was scrubbed with the msfn server crash): Quote After upgrade to 67.0.3396.62, no glass on Chrome title bar. Here's the method to get back glass: 1. open: chrome://flags/#windows10-custom-titlebar 2. choose "disabled" restart Chrome and glass is back 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's better, but not perfect. Maybe because I use a different theme (Glass Onion)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blonk Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I use an addon for firefox called "glassmyfox" which works very well. The developer has one for thunderbird too called "glassmybird" which I haven't tried but might be worth a try. https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/thunderbird/addon/glassmybird/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 100% perfect and clean method to fix Firefox and Thunderbird but you would have to modify the .exe of both, would you be fine with that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am running Thunderbird 52.9.1. with the latest Aero Glass beta, and transparency works just fine, as you can see in the attached screenshot. Perhaps see what happens if/when you use a different theme? NB - I have tried both an AeroGlass theme atlas and regular msstyle skinning, and the titlebar looked fine in both cases.

In your case it works fine because you use a Theme Atlas, if you use an actual custom-theme the min/max/close buttons will be messed up without the .exe fix.

Aethelflaed Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 No, that screenshot was taken without the theme atlas. But here is something to try: Go to Tools > Options > Advanced > General, then click the config editor, and check whether mail.tabs.drawInTitlebar is set to 'false'. If it is not set to 'false', Thunderbird will attempt to draw the title bar itself, which is likely what causes the problem with the buttons not being skinned properly. I completely forgot about this setting; IIRC there is a similar one for Firefox. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbkw1983 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I sincerely apologize for taking so long to respond to your question, AdamW. I was away on business. Sadly, I missed much of the World Cup as well, but I digress. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regarding glass on Chrome, Blonk's post contains precisely that which I would have written for you, so thank you to Blonk :-) I also recommend that you might consider the following theme, which, is displayed in the included screenshot + linked below: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/f2b-dark-electrique-neon/dpcngmlhjpglhbdbomhggfdjebkgaoap I happen to contend that it's good-looking enough to share with y'all :-) Anyways, have a great day everyone!
