Just Another Aero Glass Tool
I'll try and report back !
Ladies and gentlemen,
let me introduce you the first beta version of Aero Glass utility for Windows 8.
What's new:
* old DWM loader is not supported anymore (because it was the main reason of black screens etc.)
--> AppInit_DLLs approach is supported only
--> installer will be available with final release, now only manual script available
--> registry script is attached in the archive but you must manually edit the file to point to the location where you extract DLL file
--> the glass will automatically load at Windows startup
--> if your computer won't boot up for some reason (glass failure), hold CTRL key during DWM loading and no procedure will be installed into memory
* x86 version is available for download, however it has NOT been tested at all so it is not ensured it works
* change MIL message alpha opacity to 255 when current value is 254
--> this replaces old method of disabling layered windows blending and can be altered by HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM:ModifyMILContentOpacity (DWORD values 0x0 / 0x1 (default))
* using D2D-like trick in D3D to avoid incorrectly blurred window edges
* fixed incorrect drawing of plain color surfaces resulting in completely transparent controls
* when using AppInit_Dlls, inject into explorer.exe to enable correct taskbar blurring
* fixed crash logs when using AppInit_Dlls
* increased blur radius in D3D mode
* RP-like computing of default inactive border color in D3D mode
* I know I said that I won't add this feature, but since it was easy as hell (just one-line code change), I added feature to have rounded window frames (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM:RoundRectRadius (DWORD, Win8 = 0, Win7 = 12)). But I won't support/maintain it more if it does not work as someone expects... let's call it a small Easter egg
