TheLegend90 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I'm running aero glass now with the ux theme register edit that allows all programs to have aero glass. On google chrome, I have a theme that themes the top of the window but it overwritten by aero glass. Is there a way to disable aero glass on google chrome only?

bigmuscle Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 No, this is not possible unless Chrome provides you such option. Rendering engine does not know which window is drawn - it just have image and position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralcool Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 So why not include a blacklist feature BM? A simple editable text file in the aeroglass folder to disable glass for applications that seem incompatible. A bit like vista basic mode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripredacus Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 It sounds more the fault of Chrome having certain capabilities. Having Aeroglass be written to disable it from working on Chrome is approaching it from the wrong angle. Is it similar to how on Windows 7 with default Aero enabled, some programs when they are opened will cause Windows to change the theme to basic? I always run into this problem with Fireworks and never found a way to stop it from happening... although I haven't looked into it in a while.

bigmuscle Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 It is the same situation as with blurring some window background - DWM is responsible for rendering only, so it must be instructed by external subject with functions DwmEnableBlurBehindWindow. There is a function DwmSetWindowAttribute which can be used to remove some window from DWM rendering. So if someone wants to use it (e.g. for compatibility reasons) then he must call this function externally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLegend90 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 This is way above my skill level. I just thought it would be possible since Firefox isn't themed. I can live with the way it is now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
