After many months of development, version 1.0 of Aero Glass was released for Windows 8. We wrote about the project while it was still in its infancy. It was an enormous amount of work reviving glass for Windows 8. 'BigMuscle' reimplemented effects such as glass transparencies and blur using DirectX.
He did so by hooking Desktop Window Manager (DWM.exe) functions. An ambitious developer, 'BigMuscle' who hangs around at the MSFN forum, tried to bring back Aero Glass when Windows 8 was released.
