To enable the glass effects turn on the option like on the screenshot.

Wow, thanks for the fast response Yuri!
I've just downloaded the test version and will report my findings shortly...

Just did some tests Yuri, and it looks like the Glass effect is mostly working Smile
I am noticing, however, a couple of issues on my system (I am using the default skin):
1) There is a slightly 'dark tint' that is added to the TLB menus when this new 'Glass' option gets selected - even when the 'Menu -> Effects -> Transparency' setting is set to 100% [Fully Transparent]
  • Perhaps this is being generated from the new DWMglass.DLL?
2) I have one tear-off menu that has some customizations that is not reflecting the glass effect - it remains transparent (but all of the sub-menus from that menu ARE displaying the glass effect properly (but with the dark tint).
  • I was able to get the menu eventually to display the Glass by going to the taskbar TLB and selecting customize sub menus and selecting 'overwriting existing sub-menus options', BUT this wiped out all of my many sub-menu customizations!
  • Is there any way to reset/remove the customizations of a single menu? without wiping out the rest of the sub-menu customizations?
I have attached before and after screenshots that illustrate the above issues.
Many, many thanks for working on this glass feature! -JT
