Aero Glass Mod For Windows 8 Revealed

Aero Glass Mod For Windows 8 RevealedEarlier this year in February, it was reported that a programmer who prefers to be known as “bigmuscle” announced that he came up with the first version of a program that is called Aero Glass for Win8. Seasoned Windows users would know where this particular program is headed – the name itself implies that Windows 8 looks set to receive the cool aero glass transparent look, which was removed in the latest iteration of Windows despite being a popular desktop option in Windows Vista and Windows 7. We are glad to report that version 1.0 of Aero Glass for Win8 has been released, and this particular program will play nice after being integrated with the Desktop Window Manager in Windows 8.

According to the program’s site, “All rendering is done via native Direct3D device. Any colorization settings adjusted in Windows Control Panels are respected. Use color intensity slider to adjust the amount of the transparency. No custom skinning engine used.”

Aero Glass for Win8 is said to work without consuming too many system resources, allowing users to change their window borders without having to change their Windows theme, and it will comprise of a bevy of effects such as “window shadow, caption glow effect, rounded borders or simply change the appearance of caption buttons.”

    Elon Musk Displays His 3D Modeling Software

    Some time at the end of last month, we did bring you a story about how Elon Musk and his team has figured out just how to design rocket parts, in a manner that we were impressed with in Iron Man 3. Well, he has also posted a video that showed off the Iron Man-inspired 3D modeling software that was tweeted, where it will merge the gesture-sensing Leap Motion controller alongside a variety of different display technologies. Not only that, there was also a modified version of the Siemens NX design suite thrown into the mix, allowing his team, SpaceX’s engineers, to zoom around while performing an inspection of their models, all without having to touch a mouse.

    Of course, it remains unclear whether they are able to design actual models using just the gestural setup alone, or to inspect models that they have come up with using more traditional tools. For those who are an old hand at working with 3D modeling software would know that manipulating an actual 3D model is an extremely complicated process, and to squeeze it into a bunch of gestures is extremely challenging. What do you think of this particular software, will it be able to speed up 3D modeling for the masses in the future?

    Lenovo Yoga 2 ProThe Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro builds on the legacy of the original Yoga laptop, but adds high-end elements that turn it into a thin & light powerhouse.

It is also multi-touch and features a 350 nit brightness, which helps a lot when using it outdoors on a sunny day.
