    Hope that will be soon. So far, my touchscreen computer runs the program fine with few glitches\crashes, while my main desktop uses a 32bit version of Windows 8 for compatibility with MS-DOS apps (I use DOS apps a lot).:cool:

    Use the registry settings and values mentioned in the release post on MSFN.

    Never mind. I have to reinstall Windows since I ran out of disk space. Now back to 64bit. Plus, when I use the Windows Basic theme with the program, I discovered TASKBAR BLUR! Aero Glass Snip.png
    Did not work for me.

    Create the registry keys, set the values, then close the registry editor and restart the DWMLoader(i.e. close the command window and start the DWMLoader again). It does not work instantly: if you have the DWMLoader running, nothing will happen. You to close it and make the changes, then start it again.

    Do you have the RP? If you do, in one way or another, extract the Aero files from the ISO. Then, rename both files and folders to "Aero RP". And finally, edit the visual file to use the Aero RP folder instead of the Aero folder. Here is a screenshot of what the files should look like. Snip.png Snip2.PNG Snip3.PNG
    No wonder I saw less blur after I rebooted DWMLoader,

    Someone released a GUI across at MSFN that allows the user to quickly change the blur and opacity but it hasn't been approved by bigmuscle as yet.

    That's weird, because, at long as the picture is under 19.x megabytes, at least for me, it should upload. I use Internet Explorer.

    I switched the resolution of 1280x1024 to 1024x768. Is beautiful, yes, but wants a more powerful computer, I think, maybe not.
