Windows 10: Aero for Windows 10 very cool

[Edit] just to clarify this is just a mock up, it is not ready for release [Edit]


I read somewhere on these forums, about Aero for Windows 8 and it was nice

But what I was really impressed with, was how great Windows 10 looks with transparency on

you can take a peek look here
Aero Glass for Windows 8

I really, really, really like how it looks,
now if they could only incorporate an easy switch to the Metro screen, too

:)

 

Can you please add Aero Glass to Windows 10?

Original Title :Aero Glass

Can you please add 'Window Aero Glass' back? I had a TON of unwanted stuff trying to get an Aero Glass program, including the best and most popular: Aero Glass for Win8+, but it lagged out my PC. So on behalf of my wish (and everyone elses wish) can you
please add Aero Glass to Windows 10?

(Optional) and the really cool glass effect around the open programs on the taskbar? I really liked that, and so did millions of others.

 

I miss Aero theme from Windows 7

No thank you I'm reluctant to use 3rd party software just to have aero theme. It would be very nice for Microsoft to bring back aero theme in windows 10.

 

Are you referring to this - https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1...dows-10-a.html

I have Aero enabled on W8.0. I hope W10 is much better. Aero on 8.0 is better than nothing but I was disappointed because small utilities I wrote that were translucent purple on W7 are just plain invisible on W8.0 with Aero. You see the dialog frame with just nothing where either the translucent color used to be or in the case of extend glass into client area on W7 and Vista you would see a shiny chrome effect.

If they fix the Glass on W10 I will definitely check it out. *Smile

Edit: Just so you can see why I'm annoyed with the glass kill in W8


Edit2: Hmm, seems neither upload attachment nor direct pasting will let me show the images.

Edit3: I attached Desktop.zip with the 2 images if anyone is curious. *Smile

Edit4: The reason the blue MD5 screen shot doesn't look all that transparent is the wallpaper when it was taken was a mostly blue fractal. You are seeing the wallpaper through the translucent
dialog.

Edit5: *Smile I added a screen shot of my Selector program to the zip attachment, that uses the composite color in W7 that afaik cannot be done in Vista or W8/10. It's the translucent purple I mentioned. (There's a fractal flame wallpaper that's responsible for the colored coils you see through the Selector gui.)

 

Doesn't work for me. I get constant Your DWM is incompatible with Aero Glass. I'll need to do a System Restore to get out of this it look like.

 

Can't do a System Restore as no restore points have been created. That's a bug that I will add to Kari's thread. I'll see if I can boot to Safe Mode.

Totally hosed the installation. Refresh won't work as not enough room on the .vdi virtual disk. Looks like I will have to reinstall.

 

Dont install it, it`s useless.

 

It is not supposed to work on Windows 10, it is just a project they are working on.

I posted the link just so people could see what Windows 10 might look like with transparency
sorry, if I didn't make that clear

 

The reason why this is not probably implemented in later windows versions is because of how it slows down the system. It uses up PC resources that causes sluggishness. If you are enjoying the snappiness of Win 10 right now (almost instant load up), that's because the system doesn't have to worry about rendering windows all the time to show aero crap. I like the flatness of Windows right now. It's super light and fast!

 

To avoid such overhead is just a matter of using basic themes and disabling UI animations. But on Vista and W7 it was your choice. Many people who built systems with octal core CPUs and tons of ram weren't sweating a few CPU cycles for eye candy. Maybe that's one reason they built for performance in the first place. But the point is,even when enabled in W8 it looks like crap.

 

I hate the flatness of win 8 & 10. I'm in front of the screen 10 hours a day every day. I at least want it to have a pleasing look (eye candy). Never noticed any slow down on win 7 with all aero features on. The UGLYNESS is the biggest thing I don't like about 8 & 10.

 

To each his own I guess. I guess I am lucky. *Smile

 

It has always been a choice. You just have to find a working 3rd party theme. *Smile

 

I'll be trying out 10 by the weekend. Just too busy at the moment. I want to add my two cents worth. I have a fairly powerful machine, spent a lot of money on it both to purchase and to tinker/upgrade. Yes, its a laptop. My machine has never had any problems with a slow boot or slow anything for that matter. I love the Aero effects and would like to see them incorporated back into the O.S.. I spend a lot of time working in front to my screen and would prefer something "pretty" to look at in that time. If I have to use a third party program to do this I will (providing I move to 10 of course). Thanks for posting the screenshot. I agree that it isn't the "prettiest" but is an improvement (imho of course). I cannot understand why this (Aero) is not at least an option for those of us who 1. Like it , 2. Have the power to make it worthwhile , 3. Want it. Not all of us Windows users are on phones or tablets or use underpowered machines.
