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.

It’s great to see
the amount of feedback we get on VistaGlazz 1.2. Thank you very much for that. I’ve done another re-release of the 1.2 version. In this build I’ve made the following changes:
- Diagnostic screen is now also available when you press F2 in VistaGlazz
- The help file contains a small description of the diagnostic screen
- Smarter Problems? button on the reboot screen, should be able to fix more errors
Feel free to download the latest version from here: VistaGlazzSetup.exe.
If you don’t have any problems there is no real reason to update your version.
