  1. patching dwm to an older version to get glass8 to work on newer windows 10 versions. you cant do it anymore.
  2. oh nice, how funny lmao. went and checked, youre on my friends list. perhaps we should catch up! yeah i dont really go on rs at the moment. being comped and there never really being any updates with a priority on monotonous mtx, it really isnt a fun experience anymore. windowblinds has always been a resource hog, it was terrible back in the windows xp days. im not entirely sure what windowblinds uses for its blur, but it doesnt use native dwm which is very odd. currently for now, i will stick to glass8 and the dwm patch to get it working until the inevitable day when that stops working too, then i may consider curtains. curious though, other than the lack of blur, does curtains have the ability to round the window corners? i installed the trial, but never used it as i never got round to doing so sadly so it ran out.
  3. i couldve sworn curtains had the feature to blur the window frame, at least from some screenshots i was looking at. ive been sticking to the dwm patch and my personal windows 7 theme for now though, the blur really is a dealbreaker for me, especially the ability to use acrylic. if i can easily port my atlas theme to curtains, i may just do so if the blur really is a thing. curtains is far better than window blinds from what i heard, the use of png files is huge. being a graphic designer, tga is extremely outdated and not a user friendly format at all. old screenshot but its the closest ive ever gotten to windows 7s aero on windows 10. edit: your name... do i know you? feel like it might be runescape lol.
  4. aero glass can date way back to vistas alpha, longhorn 4074 i believe is the first iteration of aero glass. other than that, not sure who came up with it. start8 by stardock is the only start menu app that can apply the reflection image to the taskbar i think but the start8 is pretty lackluster compared to others like startisback
  5. windows 10 is weird and uses different title bar heights for different applications, its quite annoying. it will happen with most applications that use the base title bar. some other applications like an installer breaks it too, it seems to be a limitation.
  6. unfortunately i dont know how to make my own custom taskbar using msstyles. ive seen some people create a windows xp start button before, i just dont know what application allows you to apply it. the taskbar and start button itself are skinnable, im not sure if the buttons and open applications are skinnable. no, i didnt use classicshell to pull this off. i used startisback they both do the same or similar things except i prefer startisbacks functionality and its start menu is much prettier
  7. this is what i used to try perfect the caption buttons, your version sadly blurs them which looks awful and the window corners arent rounded like my modified version. startisback is the only application i know of that skins the taskbar to look like windows 7. iirc, it uses msstyles to do it directly. ive been using it ever since i got windows 10 when it was released and its not broken anything. its a solid piece of software and i think its the best start menu replacement out there.
  8. i didnt consider peak when i was editing it. it doesnt bother me too much
  9. ive modified a theme atlas i have downloaded from here (most credit goes to him): http://www.deviantart.com/art/Theme-Atlas-Collection-for-Windows-10-14393-658193357 this is as close as i have been able to get windows 10 look like windows 7, the rounded corners and the buttons are pixel crisp with no blurriness. only exception is some windows that dont use a border radius and modernframe. im also using this windows 7 theme to skin the ui elements, using the atlas ive modified over the top. Aero 7 Themes for Win10 Final m win7atlas.zip
  10. doesnt really answer his question, you need an acompanying .layout file with the atlas png for the theme to look correct. just make sure the .layout file is there then simply select the .png the same way as you did before. also note that the .layout must be designed for windows 10 as ones made for windows 8 dont work.
  11. i still have the problem, yes.
  12. hi, ive been trying to donate so i can get rid of the watermark but every time i do so, i get this error: i have used multiple browsers and all have the same outcome. am i doing something wrong?
