Get twiwmtb aero on 4074 original

Post by Archenemy »

Hello guys, according to whistlerinstalls's longhorn 4088 video, at the end it shows whistlerinstalls creating the aero theme. How do I get the same type of aero in longhorn 4074 original (not twiwmtb)? Here is the video:

The video just shows enabled transparent taskbar and sidebar, not windows

And that could be enabled with MILExplorer and some ''hacking'' to the Jade theme.

Most of it relies on the aero theme itself, TWIWMTB uses an internal one, and no, I don't know where did they manage to get it

"And it looks like the video was made private. Whistlerinstalls really is Pi**** angry..."

He probably used an aero theme creation utility. Might be one of the 4074 tools on EmoAddict15's site.

Oh, that has no point, even if the video is now private, people would still know how to get DWM :P
Back on topic, there is a tutorial on Longhorn.ms on how to get DWM in 4074.

Are you trying to magically read his minds? If yes, then you a bit failed, because the reason he put the video as private surely wouldn't be because ERMERGERD DWM.

Longhorn.ms gives me ugly green borders with the original 4074 iso.

The reason you're getting those "ugly" green borders is because you probably didn't do something right with the theme. There is a download of melcher's theme available on-site, so try that. Also, renaming the new theme to something other than jade could help.

I did download the aero themes from LeoaprM95 (Melcher's) site and put them into the right places and turned on aero and it had ugly green borders.

Please note that my own theme files won't give you anything else than the default greenish theme. The greenish theme is the ONLY DWM theme that comes with the build. BOFH created a very nice looking DWM theme I suggest checking out: http://new.longhorn.ms/dwn. TWIWMTB comes with a proper DWM theme pre-installed.

Judging by the animated aurora in the preview pane, yes. But as I said above, you can achieve the same transparency by using BOFH's theme.

Thought so. 4074 still keeps DCE resources in desksrv. Looks like you'll need to do a little dll or resource changing with desksrv to get the aero you want. I can give you a desksrv for traditional glass or twiwmtb glass.
