    There's a way to change the color to a real nice looking light grey title bar and it doesn't leave the ugly little mark there :D
    I have it here works like charm

    I think @EFA11 recommended it to me so thanks to him :D

    I'm getting blinded here with all this whiteness.

    Not a hack, the settings are there if you look.


    Settings Personalization Colors Choose your accent color.

    or - pick a lite background wallpaper and set auto pick an accent color from my background to on

    Someone is distributing a version of Aero Glass on Reddit that (according to them) works on 10240. They do appear to be showing screenshots of it working (with no console window or desktop watermark), but as I am not running Windows 10 at the moment I can not test it.

    I tested it, and it does work. There are some issues though. If you have two monitors, and you open Store, and try to move it to the other monitor, everything freezes, goes black, and dwm.exe crashes. This is the same as when symbols were not downloaded in bigmuscle's version. Now that symbols are downloaded we are waiting for proper install. If you use bigmuscle's version you must create dummy files with same name as symbols files, and make them read only. Move original symbols files some place else or delete. In this way you are not using a plagiarized version of AeroGlass. You will still get the dwm.exe crash in certain instances none-the-less. Therefore I wait for updated version.

    I really hope MS will bring Aero Glass back to 10 someday.

    Classic Shell has an option to re-enable taskbar Aero Glass ;)
