Windows 10: AeroGlass 8.1+ v1.4 released, Windows 10 support.

Aero Glass for Windows 8.x+

Change Log

Now you can use it without the debug nag window.

EDIT: Installer refuses to load under 32-0bit systems, the MAN files which appear to be archives provide a version of Aerohost.exe which is incompatible and cannot run. I'm going back to the debug version until this gets sorted. I'll keep my eye on their forums to find out what the issue is. But I have it on good authority that the guy who develops this tweak does this kind of thing deliberately.

EDIT II: I posted below the reason why the 32-bit installer was failing, the Modern Apps support module is 64-bit only. So I'd like to see any screenshots if anyone on a 64-bit system has that running.

:)

 

Aeroglass theme for windows 10

I am wondering if Aeroglass will be available for windows 10. It is a shame that Microsoft have removed this feature from windows 10. is there any hope in the future that this feature will return to windows 10?.

Can anyone shed some light onto why this feature of the windows desktop theme may have been excluded from windows 10?.

Is there a way I can apply an older version of Aeroglass to windows 10 legitimately?.

 

Session_has_valid_views_on_exit error

I tried again, after resetting to Windows 8.1. Before upgrading, I uninstalled two Apps (Start8 and AeroGlass). This has solved the issue, upgrade went smoothly trough. Everything working perfectly now

 

I got the impression from this page that its not quite ready yet and use at your own risk.

 

Nope, that's the debug version, which I still have running actually and have been running for 2 weeks with no problems. Read the ChangeLog. Here, I'll do it for you:

Code: -- 1.4 -- * Windows 10 10.0.10240 support * hardcoded symbol patterns for current version of DWM in Win8.1 * added build numbering * hopefully fixed crash on device resource change * blur deviation setting partially influences Win10 blur accent too * lots of stability and performance fixes and code refactoring * added >>experimental<< module to enable glass frame on Win10 Modern apps - this requires secure boot to be off * added support for custom atlas layout, format: - each line has format "x;y;z=a,b,c,d" - x, y, z specify the part, its state and the property respectively - a, b, c, d specify position rectangle in atlas image (for z = 8002) or the part sizing/content margins (for z = 3601/3602) - see example layout file for description of individual part identifiers - see MSDN documentation of GetThemeRect and GetThemeMargins function for further information - line "CaptionHeight=n" allows you to change the size of caption buttons to "n" pixels - everything after # is considered to the comment and is ignored * KNOWN WIN10 LIMITATION: - due to the way how Win10 composes windows frames, it is not possible to fully apply corner radius - for the same reason you can see blurred separation of window caption[/quote]

 

Can't see any links to download the version for Windows 10.

 

Update, the neither the installer nor the archived files work on a 32 bit system. This does not mean it won't work on a 64 bit system.

Edit: The download links are right there on the page I posted, unless they were removed within the last 5 minutes. Look for v1.4.

Nope, they are right there on the page in plain sight. If you have a 64 bit machine, try it and let us know if it works.

 

Ok found out what was happening, the Modern App support they built in is incompatible with 32-bit Windows 10. So, unclick this box:





And then this won't happen:





Heh, someone ought to make a 23-bit OS just ftfoi.

 

Like part though To be Continued...................

Everyone misses famous Aero from Windows Vista and 7 i see.....

 

He removed the Debug Version. I can post that to Dropbox if anyone wants it.

I am now using v1.4, I have it all working save the Tile Apps. I just reported this error to the forums, so we'll see if he fixes it, sometimes he does.

Oh I definitely want Aero, it was what I despised about Windows 8, the removal of it. But I have it going in 8 now too thanks to variations of this tweak.

 

Thanks for effort and post for others interested in wanting Aero. For me i can live without the effects, then becomes another running resource.

 

It has minimal impact on my machines, my 8 machine has 4GB of Ram and no AV's or anything else installed, I play movies and that's it, no browsing or anything. That's what I like about this tweak, it's small-footprint as far as I can tell, it's module hooks into the already running DWM.

I have even less available resources on my 10 machine, but I am not having any issues at all so far, and I have a full contingent of protection installed.

 

Windows 10 for me all i have, still a new OS with possible bugs to work out, rather not myself add something like this that is not fully compatible. No browsing, no internet connection on that PC, but your here or are you on the Windows 10 PC for here ?
Well can't see just having a PC for movies alone, assume since you have 2, one for that only.

 

That's why I don't update my machines until I know it will do what I want. That's why I'm keeping 8 (as opposed to 8.1) on my Media Machine. But just because I don't browse on it, does not mean I don't have it as part of my home network or that I don't have it connected, I just don't use it foe browsing is all. All of my machines (3 in this one space, 2 more in my work area) are connected to my network, and I'm experimenting now with Windows 10 taking the place of my Windows 7 machine, which is on another drive on the same PC.

So far I am pretty happy with it, save for the lack of any Aero effects, but there are still a few huge issues. For one thing, I can't share my printer with my other machines or use it as an AirPrinter source like I could do with Windows 7.

My point is, that AeroGlass has zero impact on any of my Windows 8 or 10 machines, regardless of if I use it as a browser or not. But in fact I use my Windows 10 machine for browsing only, all of my other machines are dedicated for either watching Movies, or for Home Recording. Actually, they are not limited to strictly home recording, I drag them down to the studio and record tracks there too.

But the main point over all of this is that if I can run AeroGlass on windows 8 and 10 and have no impact regardless of what I'm using the machines for, then it's a better solution for Aero than any of Stardock's Bloat-Tweaks. They have a few tweaks that do similar to AeroGlass, but they are bloat, and don't even come close to doing as much.

Ps - As far as only having one machine, well, all of my machines were taken out of trash bins and rebuilt. I have built dozens of machines that I originally found in trash cans, a lot of times there is nothing wrong with them, only bad hard drives or video cards. All of my ram, HDs, even Boxes I use over and over for different builds, I have found in the garbage, and there was nothing wrong with them. You see I can't afford to buy a machine and then depend only on that, I have to have a replacement if these go down. For me, there is no excuse to not having several machines ready to go in case one of mine go down. I used to be backed into a corner with only one machine, but never again.
