Read the instructions! You are not supposed to boot to safe mode. You should take ownership.

It's funny you say this because i read not only the instructions listed here, but also ones from different sites detailing how to do this exact same thing. both rules failed. The first few times i did not even boot into safe mode. The few other times, i did. If anything, i downloaded the 64 bit files rather than the 86 bit ones (Also, how would i have replaced the files if i did not have ownership?)

my vista, I'M use Ashampoo WinOptimizer 4

um yeah, people will want the whole window to be transparent thats not annoying or distracting at all.

but in terms of the maximum transparency patch, it looks really good although i too wonder if i would want the border and start menu to be transparent when maximized.

It's not working here on Vista 64 Bits. Same problem as iceyJDP, only get error: Windows could not find Uxtheme.dll. Checked that I'm using correct files for Vista 64. I restored my original files.

It worked for anyone on 64 bits?

EDIT: It worked at the second try. But I noticed something weird, I can't see the same files if I use Total Commander or normal Windows File Explorer?. In the first try I used TC and in the second try used Windows File Explorer and changes that I do with one app doesnt affect the other app?

Am I crazy, is there a bug, or is it normal?

you have 2 types of DLL files 86x and 64x use proper files for your system if you can't access your system you can replace your files directly from NTFS booting supporting disk to boot from it and using suitable ntfs dos programe like volkov commander navigate to files place and replace with dll files for 64x operating system this a Hirens bootable CD containing volkov commander and other programes you can download from a link below

I would love to use this, but it would need to have the black title bar when mazimized still, that is something I actually LOVE and couldn't live without. Having transparency when maximized is just way too distracting.

you can try this theme for you

when maximized both taskbar and maximized windows is a ablack

are you ok?

Oki here is my ultimate theme:

1. Maximum transparency in windows

2. Complete black taskbar when maximized (its not completely black in but-blak theme)

3. Complete black when maximized.

Your but-blak.exe theme is almost 100% perfect for me :) but the tastbar isnt 100% black, there is a lighter stripe in the middle of it. And that stipe is there when glass to. Its like in the others windows before maximum transparency. Look at the picture.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
