Is it possible to enable Aero Glass again in Windows 10 for Windows titles?

Solution 1:

Windows 10 doesn't include this by default. Microsoft removed it in Windows 8.

But there is a 3rd party developer who created a small DLL to restore the glass in Windows 8 and now Windows 10.

To re- enable Aero Glass, go to his website and download the installer (starting with Version 1.4 it supports Windows 10 (July 2015 Version Build 10240) and in Version 1.4.5 it supports Windows 10 Version 1511 Build 10586).

If you use Windows 10 anniversary update Version 1607, you have to download and install the version up to 1.5.3.

If you use Windows 10 Creators update Version 1703, you have to download and install the version starting with Version 1.5.4 (as of 2017-09-09, last version is 1.5.5, but only for x64 systems, if you have x86 only hardware and want Aero Glass stay at anniversary update Version 1607 and use version 1.5.3)

If you use Windows 10 Fall Creators update Version 1709 (Build 16299, you have to download and install the version starting with Version 1.5.7.

If you use Windows 10 October 2018 update Version 1809 (Build 17763, you have to download and install the version starting with Version 1.5.10.

Run the Installer and install it to C:\AeroGlass.

Now you have Aero Glass back:

Starting with version 1.5.2 for Windows 10 anniversary update Version 1607, you can use regsvr32.exe DWMGlass.dll to enable Aero Glass for Windows Store apps:
