PandaX Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 There is an alternative WindowBlinds 8One's free, the other isn't. And just for the blur effect isn't worth the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screenshot of the error: https://www.dropbox.com/s/y44ye887lqzptnj/Aero%20Glass%20Snip19.PNG It should work correctly since the theme is official and signed by Microsoft.

fireboyche Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Yes, I have tried it and I must admit that I don't like it. It has a bit weird frame edges which looks like the shadow is a bit offset resulting in a small gap. ORelio looks better but it looks much "Sevenish" to me and the window frames style does not match the taskbar style. Also the thing that caption glow effect for shell windows is stored in different image resource makes me think about a bit different approach - to hook uxtheme functions to allow using unsigned msstyle themes and provide complete theme.Thanks for the feedback. I just fixed that "offset shadow" thing, and now it looks cleaner. I wonder if you'd be willing to take a moment to try it again...Same link, updated file.http://Noel.ProDigit...ernateTheme.pngNothing is set in stone, and I'm willing to tweak it until you like it.Here's what it looks like now...-NoelCan somene explain me how can I create the VS on the screenshot with the first picture in this post? Or better, give me a download link for the VS? Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make a new String Value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM , named, CustomThemeResource containing the path to the custom theme resource file and restart (or change between themes)..

Rayn19 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I'm getting this a couple times a day:I'm not even sure where this message box comes from. When does it appear? Only when changing theme, or randomly during a day? Its difficult to say when that appears, I just now tried back RP theme and for about a hour I didn't have any error, and then the error appeared. It only happens with RP theme or maybe Microsoft signed themes (can't confirm yet). One thing I noticed was that, the synchronization service starts to use half of my CPU and it only goes down, after some time, when I change the theme to any other custom theme.
