Aero Glass on windows 8.1

Question

Hi I have been trying to get Aero Glass effect on Windows 8.1.

In windows 8 I have been using Aero Glass software from here http://glass8.berlios.de/download.html

But on windows 8.1 I can't use the one made for windows 8 however they do have a version for windows 8.1 but they say

You still need to manually download symbols for udwm.dll, dwmcore.dll and dwm.exe else it won't work

So where I can get those dll and exe files which matches the Aero Glass?

Thanks!!!

Answer 1

Install the Windows 8.1 SDK and run this cmd:

MKDIR %userprofile%\appdata\local\temp\dlls

XCOPY "C:\Windows\System32\dwm.exe" %userprofile%\appdata\local\temp\dlls
XCOPY "C:\Windows\System32\dwmcore.dll" %userprofile%\appdata\local\temp\dlls
XCOPY "C:\Windows\System32\uDWM.dll" %userprofile%\appdata\local\temp\dlls

SYMCHK /r %userprofile%\appdata\local\temp\dlls /s SRV*C:\AeroGlass\symbols\*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

RD /S /Q "%userprofile%\appdata\local\temp\dlls"

to get the PDBs.
