Nice Freudian slip! At least it points to how many of us feel about Microsoft taking out glass!

So I've just followed this from a MDL post, this is quite awesome I didn't think we would ever see the aero glass back.
I for would like to say to bigmuscle Congrats on bringing the Aero Glass back!.

But I have one question. Will this be able to be used on 32 Bit systems? or will it some how be limited to 64 Bit systems?.

Linktopower: I develop it on x64 system, but it should not be the problem to build 32bit library. I will post it with the preview version but can't ensure it will work.

bigmuscle congratulations on your project. If you'll succeed in your little project along with Tihyi's startisback - a lot of people will move to Win8...maybe even me.

Ah, okay thanks for telling me. Alright then I'll be looking out for it when ever you post the the preview version.

Anyways keep up the good work will you.

[bigmuscle]

I have updated the first post with link to download preview version. Be aware that it is preview only and has been compiled for 64-bit system (32-bit version will come later). Tested under VMWare.
It may contain many bugs. It has not been optimized at all. I have not cared about unused resources cleanup etc. It has not been tested much, it is just a "hey, it works!" :-)

for me it doesn't work under VMware. The screen gets black after starting the launcher. I think is it related to the RP Theme which I'm using in the RTM.

// edit

also doesn't work with the RTM theme. This time I also got a blackscreen and 1s later I'm at the login screen. There is no log file created.

Got an popup error message saying I'm missing msvcr110d.dll

[MagicAndre1981]

you miss the Visual C++ 2012 (DEBUG) Runtime. bigmuscle uplaoded the debug instead of the release version.

I guess it is the problem we were talking about that you was logged off when dwm is killed (it's what the loader does). Could you try disabling your video adapter in Device Manager before launching the loader?

[JFX]

So anybody want to share the redistributable msvcr110d.dll ?

this is NOT allowed! Debug versions are not redistributable.

makes no difference. I have the blackscreen again with only the mouse pointer.

Which vmware do you use? I use the Player 5.0.1

[bigmuscle]

Does it display "This is preview" dialog before?

I have VMWare 5.0.1 build-894247, Windows 8 Pro N x64. Only Visual Studio 2012 installed, else completely clean system.

[MagicAndre1981]

I use the same vmware version and yes, I see the dialog. After clicking ok, I get the blackscreen.

But I've check my DWM.exe and I can see that it already had an update to version 6.2.9200.16420. Do you use the vanilla RTM without any updates?

Also, I forgot that I have UAC disabled - if it makes difference.

Could you try this version http://leteckaposta.cz/223020690 and then run DWMLoader with parameter "-donotrestartdwm" (without quotes). Then restart video adapter in device manager.

[MagicAndre1981]

yes, I always run with UAC on (highest slider level).

With the parameter, I can see the cmd Window of the loader and that it installed the hook. When I now try to enable the Vmware GPU again in device manager I get the blackscreen

I was thinking the same thing and then saw your post!
