So after some months and a problem changing icons after a new update which signed all files (and I only found out later after modifying the files and rebooting.), I had to reinstall the system and came across the solution for the problem. I forgot all details as it's been a while since I messed with themes. Glow drawn with that method is different, it's not taken from theme's atlas image. You can set Aero Glass' TextGlowMode to 3 to make DWM use the same method that applications like Paint and WordPad use, but you can't set both required parameters for glow to work without modifying the. On top of that, the system may decide to change color for one of the states of the window - active/inactive - to something else, depending on current used accent color. It's a separate method than the one that DWM uses by default. msstyles file, unless overridden and if the theme author didn't set glowing parameters, there'll be no glow. Native API for this purpose reads certain rendering parameters from used. If you want to draw those buttons on the title bar programmatically, you also have have to draw the text yourself. Interesting enough, there's some weird bug that puts the title words blank and without glow effect on some programs like Paint and Wordpad while all the others have them black as I've configured, for some reason So AeroGlass might have changed something somewhere and now the borders can't be enabled for some reason, no matter what tries to enable them. Because the custom theme I have applied to help with Windows 7 appearance is ALSO supposed to activate the border on the "pop-up" - I tried on the virtual machine: both AeroGlass and the custom theme activate the borders. And another thing, I don't think it has to do with some bug AeroGlass trying to change the border on the "pop-up", but with some bug on AeroGlass when I switched versions - or something other than that that doesn't come to my mind. So that's why I was asking if AeroGlass changes any system files or something more specific that could break only this "pop-up", not all the others.Īlso, about the registry, I just checked and there seems to be nothing here that could have to do with the border.ĮDIT: About the GUI, I have that version already. And I have exactly no idea why it doesn't work ONLY there. Like in these examples of working things - which are all but on that "pop-up" window (interesting enough, there's some weird bug that puts the title words blank and without glow effect on some programs like Paint and Wordpad while all the others have them black as I've configured, for some reason): Not even the shadow to differenciate it from other windows. The thing is that the borders work in ALL the other places. Have you checked Aero Glass settings by inspecting registry settings described here or using Aero Glass GUI downloadable from here? My guess would be that you have set custom atlas image without borders, overriding the one from custom theme. (just installed Windows 10 permanently - in case it may help, LTSC 2019 Enterprise which runs on build 1809, version 17763.1432). I won't format this thing again after 2 days configuring it. Hopefully anyone here finds enough information here to understand this and tell me a possible solution? I can provide any information necessary, just ask. It's on Network, Clock and Sound "pop-ups" though. Does this program modify any system files or something, so I can restore them? I'd love to have the border back. And both the theme and AeroGlass for Win8.1+ provide the border (tested on the virtual machine), but none of them puts it back now and I can't understand why. I also have a custom theme applied to help with the Windows 7 look. The shadow also went away (the shadow border), which makes it worse. And I love the border, because without it, I can't distinguish the little window very well if the thing behind is blue. The problem is here (taken from main system):Īnd it should be something like this (taken from virtual machine where I tried to replicate the issue and I couldn't): So I've messed with versions 1.5.10 and 1.5.13 (switched between them, from 10 to 13 and then again from 13 to 10) and I believe it was that that broke something on the taskbar, but I can't be sure because I can't replicate the issue.
