Ladies and gentlemen,I present you version 1.0 of Aero Glass reimplementation for Windows 8.1. This software is a bit different story than Aero Glass for Win8, because almost all glass code has been removed from Windows 8.1 so complete reimplementation was needed. The development of Aero Glass effect for Windows 8 was pretty easy but I had no knowledge around Desktop Windows Manager at all. Situation in Windows 8.1 is opposite - I already got enough knowledge but I had to wrote all glass code from scratch. There are some small differences from Windows 8 version:1) as already been said during the development phase, this software is only the extension to DWM rendering engine and hooks DWM functions only. It does not hook theme service (to bypass theme signature) anymore nor any other process to explicitely enable blur behind any window (e.g. behind taskbar). It just blurs the areas where it is instructed to do so. 2) to correctly inject this library into DWM process, the small background task is required to be running. When this background process is not running, DWMGlass.dll won't be injected automatically on user logon, dwm.exe restart etc.--- A bit limited version of this software is free for your personal usage.Download and all information are available on its website: There is a beta version of the small application intended to change several parameters of Aero Glass: Please, remember that this software is done in my free time and it is not done for any profit. You won't get the full service as in the case of regular paid software.

Also, when I did donate to the developer in order to get the full version, I chose the smallest donation possible, because I had no idea what I was actually going to get in return for my donation. I worried that I might pay and still have some of the issues I had with the free version, in which case I wouldn't have wanted to donate, because I wouldn't use the application with those issues. And having those issues would have shaped my opinion of the application, and whether I wanted to support it or not.

Since the application is in beta stage right now, you might face some performance issues, especially during resizing, moving, minimizing, and maximizing windows. Also, some might find having a Command Prompt window open throughout the time they want this effect applied rather annoying. Though hopefully, this will be addressed in a future update, possibly minimizing it to the system tray. At the moment, the application is available only for the 64-bit versions of Windows 8.
Some Windows 8 users do not mind the new functionalities that come with it, but miss the Aero glass effects and overall look of WIndows 7. No options currently exist to get all those neat translucent effects back, but several apps are available that partially restore them. UxStyle is a free application that allows your system to install third-party themes. Deviant Art also offers a Windows 7 theme in the form of a downloadable zip file. Despite warnings that say otherwise, the theme will work for Windows 8.1 as well. 2ff7e9595c
