hello2u Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) Well good points but I think we understand its not finished/buggy/could break things by the nature of it not even having an installer and we're having to tweak a reg file to make it work in the first place.Also a good point, though I think you're underestimating just how stupid people can get. I wouldn't be surprised if some people just downloaded this and the GUI, and didn't read anything or care how it worked. Without the popups there'd probably be 10 more pages of related complaints.I think just having a popup at login or something would be better, but it's up to BM and I don't really mind.I am also having issues in the latest beta. Everything is 100% transparent, past beta worked perfectly. Are there any log files or anything of that nature that I can upload to assist in fixing this issue? I'm willing to do whatever I can to help you fix this. Take your time. Yes I know this is a beta.You're not alone, there's a debug version for you and some related info on previous pages.Maybe we should make a(n additional) FAQ or something haha Edited April 20, 2013 by hello2u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uninstalling. I'd love to have Aero Glass back some day and hopefully BM reconsiders these obnoxious popups. Edited April 21, 2013 by mvd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want popups don't leave it running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoatongoc Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) For those who can't get native blur and transparency :Try DirectX 9.3/9.2/9.1 instead of automatic, don't select DirectX 10 and upIf you're using UEFI BIOS, try disable secure boot and blur + glass should come back. It works for me, so I think it i'll work for you guys.If you get black screen after active Aero Glass, enable secure boot and boot again to windows and uninstall/change settings.PS: does anyone have v0.85 ?

MagicAndre1981 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 which laptop do you use? Ask their support for an updated UEFI formware which allows to to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonyi1966 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Has anyone tried this with the leaked builds of Windows 8.1, if it doesn't work with it then the testing stage may turn out to be a on going thing. Surely Microsoft is aware of this project, so I can see them doing 1 of 2 things. Either putting glass back into Windows to kill Big Muscles project, or constantly changing things to mess up his project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kikiwora Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) However, my UEFI BIOS verion is 2.51__________________________________________I fount that option, but the result wasn't great, only black screen after booting, maybe it's Kaspersky work.
