It’s been quite some time since our last update. 
Holidays, crazy work schedules and moving into a new neighbourhood drained on those precious hours we normally work on our CodeGazer products. After careful testing we finally bring you VistaGlazz 2.1!
What’s new in VistaGlazz 2.1?
- We’ve cleaned up a lot of the code in our solution, simplified the patching routines. This should result in better stability and prevent those VistaGlazz stopped working messages.
- We’ve added a commandline utility that should give you the ability to perform most of the patching / unpatching actions without user interface
- We’ve moved the diagnostic application to a separate executable, decreasing memory usage and making it easier to find
- We’ve upgraded the setup, added a few .NET framework checks and better Windows 7 support
Enjoy!
It will take some time for download.com to offer the new version, in the meanwhile you can grab a copy of our own website: VistaGlazz 2.1 (CodeGazer mirror)
Thank you all for the feedback on VistaGlazz 2.0
We’re glad to see that it enables a lot of people to use custom themes on their systems. With this post I’d like to address a few questions we’ve got by email or on the forum:
It says my system is not supported, what does that mean?
We try to make VistaGlazz compatible with a lot of systems. However there are a few culture specific Windows versions that have their own unique files that need patching, which are hard for us to support. Another reason your files might not be supported could mean that Microsoft released a small update. Late January or early February we’ll release VistaGlazz 2.1 with enhanced patching routines.
I can patch my system but not my aero style
Aero patches are only available on Windows Vista (Aero editions: Home Premium, Ultimate etc.). Microsoft introduced Aero with Windows Vista, that rules out Windows XP support. In Windows 7 maximized windows are already transparent, so there’s no need for a patched Aero.
If you have any problems installing visual styles or patching your system please have a look at the VistaGlazz help file. You can find it in your Start Menu or by pressing F1 in VistaGlazz.
We’ve been working on a new product for quite some time and we would like to present it to you on this fine day. Also, we’d like to quit work and drink cocktails on a tropical island for the rest of our lives. Anyway, this is all not going to happen. Or at least, not today.
Don’t worry though, we’ve heard your requests for a SevenGlazz, and we’re proud to present VistaGlazz 2! We’re emotionally attached to the old name 
The new VistaGlazz supports the KB971029 update, but also enables style customization for Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 (both 32 and 64 bit)!

I went through the forums and noticed a post by UK.Intel regarding the text color and glow in full screen glass mode. How I missed that post we might never know, but I decided to add it to VistaGlazz two weeks ago to see if it would work. It didn’t. For some reason the addresses seemed to be off by a few bytes, not sure why. Anyway, using the screen shots I was able to retrieve the correct addresses and the patch works marvelously on my Vista x64 SP2 system and on my virtual Vista32 SP1. UK.Intel: Thank you for your post!
Meanwhile Yvo improved the diagnostic screen by adding auto repair functionality to fix the most common of VG related problems. He also managed to fix some minor general UI and reboot screen glitches.
