1: you don't get rid of the popup, not yet anyhow, as it's a beta, use at your own risk. He even says so on his blog/forum.

2: Uninstalling: just your normal Add/Remove programs, or 3rd party uninstaller will remove it.

It seems to be working just fine. I've been using it with 8.1 without a problem.

I like how it looks!

But:
Install the UxTheme Patcher...

Not this time, thank you.

I'm tired of fixing theme errors because of patched system dll's. From now on I keep the real deal running.
I know, all good themes require this in order for them to work. I had some issues with some of them (not all).
the patcher: Maybe I'll give it another try later. So far the tested aero works on any theme...

Good luck to all of you and may Aero Glass work well!

The other thread item, http://www.eightforums.com/customization/23145-aero-glass-windows-8-beta-1-a.html
Is made by Big Muscle as well, just make sure you guys run the latest versions where more bugs get fixed.
I don't recall any uxtheme patcher here UNLESS you use third party custom themes. :)

If you look, you can see I was replying to a post asking about how to uninstall Big Muscle and if it's possible to disable the nag screen, not the UxTheme Patcher. The UxTheme Patcher is worthless to many, but Big Muscle Aero Glass Tweaker works great.

Also, someone made a small utility to disable the nag screen. I found it after I had posted earlier.

Silent Aero Glass Reloaded . I installed it, been running it on my Windows 8 laptop for hours, and no nag screen, and not problems.

Sorry for the confusion Sandra, I was replying to the first post, where the patcher was mentioned. :eek:

I'm aware of the Aero Tweaker and that it works on all themes.

Good to know about the nag screen being disabled and thank you for the link. :thumb:

I must be missing something obvious. I tweak and get the same bland gray window borders. No transparency at all.

Edit: Ok. Used 1.3 Glass and turned off Secure Boot, then AGTTweaker. Not as pretty as W7 but way better than drab. :)
