That looks good. qbittorrent is my favorite as well on Windows or Linux too.

Edit: have you tried changing the accent color in Winaero tweaker to 1,1,1 so the frames are black?

Thank you,I haven't used uTorrent in a few years but doesn't it still have it's own custom skins?
I remember making a few back on Windows 7

With your "Thin White Line" skin utorrent is good:

76439

But with "Version 2" & "Consolidated Dark" & "The Blue Theme" same as the firstly attached picture.
I don't know what's the difference in colors but maybe you know. And maybe this cause same
problems in other 3rd party apps too.

Thanks!

OK,I will investigate

[Shemhamforash]

you mean that thin light blue line around the screeshot? if so i don't have that here. it must be some kind of frame picpick put around the image when i save it.

EDIT:

ok just checked and i do have a very narrow translucent edge around qbittorret.

What I mean is the window frame with caption buttons and the side and bottom frames are white when they should be black, it's an aero glass issue probably fixable in winaero tweaker, the aero glass GUI didn't work for me on gsw's other themes.

[Shemhamforash]

oh i'll give that a go and let you know, thanks Shem (http://virtualcustoms.net/member.php/280089-Shemhamforash)

Alright, just easier to respond on here so I can post a screenshot
I believe it's in these two sections in the tweaker and the aero glass gui (maybe Accent tab in the GUI too)

76442

Mine looks good but I think it's because I already made the settings for gsw's themes work at an earlier time, they were grey/white out of the box

[2635599]

i deleted my other post cause felt the thread was being inadvertently hi-jacked. shem i'm sure all of that has to do with clover. personally i never really pay any attention to it cause it's not where my focus is when on the comp. now i do have one question for you, gsw, or anyone that can answer it. please look at the one image of mine with pc properties open and you will see windows update on the bottom right side. a friend asked me about it cause he does not have it there. i just m roommate check his and he doesn't have it either. so in a nutshell how is it put there?

I just checked an insider and non insider build and I don't have it. Are you using a modded OS?

yeah i am, but the only thing he does is add back dotnet 3.5 and preactivate it. actually it's him asking about that. i'm truly at a lost here, cause he showed me screens of his and he doesn't have it. i'll install in vm and see what i get. as i told him maybe it's a setting in one of the tweaking programs that i set and forgot or i set it by accident. i'll let you know what i get, if you think of anything please let me know. by the way thank you for the quick response.

I actually tried that same exact tweak before using the tweaker, but I rebooted and it didn't work. I think it may be for an earlier build?

good day and happy new year Shemhamforash (http://virtualcustoms.net/member.php/280089-Shemhamforash) i decided to install clover to see if i was right about that being clover and looks like it's not. i went through winaero tweaker, found the section, but nowhere i can manually adjust the values. any more suggestions? thanks

EDIT:

found it and set it also tweaked aeroglass to the setting in your screen and no love.

Try installing version 1.4.5 of Aero Glass. I just applied the theme with version 1.5.1 and the tops were grey, nothing I could do. Now after I installed the older version they turned black and transparent again.

Glad to be of assistance, that does look better. It should also work with dark grey themes. I often find an older version of Aero Glass is more compatible than the newest.

You can use 1.5.1,you just need to set the "accent" color to black using the AeroGlass GUI
If it won't set,then restart your system and run AeroGlass GUI again.It will usually only
work once or twice per restart.
This is one of the many reasons I am not using 1.5.1 and using System Transparency instead.

Still loving this theme, however, something I noticed a while back and simply kept forgetting to bring up is that there seems to be areas with black text on blck backgrounds that can't be seen. I've attempted to use MacType to fix that issue but it seems MacType doesn't work with this theme. Here's a couple screenshots of some of the areas of which I have spotted this issue in:


Black Glass Enhanced
76546

Right Click Context Menu Adder 2.0 [just this tab on this one, the other tabs show up fine]

Thanks. No idea what was going wrong. I tried every setting countless times to no avail. Now however, it has suddenly started working. Meh, at least it works now, lol.

Any info one when the red version will be posted? Really looking forward to that one :greedy:

Awesome! Gonna love that theme! :greedy:

[Haedhunter]

The theme is amazing-

I did notice however that occasionally Windows just resets the accent color from the default black to blue,
which makes the entire title bar and some-more on file explorer thick solid blue.

Supposedly sleep/lockscreen forces this to happen.
Any idea if I can fix that on my end?

Hi! Is it works in 1709 version (RS3)? Thank you!!!
