Aero8Tuner is the successor of my famous software Aero Tuner (for Windows 7) and White Windows (for Windows 8 ). It allows you to change all settings of DWM/Aero at Windows 8 RTM+.
With Aero8Tuner you will able:

• to set any color of windows.
  
• to disable windows coloring. If you will enable this undocumented feature, the color of windows borders in Windows 8 will be always white.
  
• to change color balance (affects the intensity).
  
• to force High Contrast mode for regular themes. The blurless buggy Aero transparency will be appeared in this case.

Why some features of "classic" Aero Tuner is missing in this version?

Spoiler

Microsoft changed DWM in Windows 8. Some parameters was completely removed, such as Transparency and amount of Aero Srtipes. Some parameters like second Aero color, Blur, balance between colors has no effect in Windows 8 because DWN ignores their values.

transparent windows look slightly better in win 8 than in win7, in my opinion..

An update here. Aero8Tuner unlocks the hidden tweak which allows you slow down window animations with shift key.

You can slow down windows animations by pressing the shift key. This is the the animation you see when minimizing, maximizing or closing the window. This option requires restart of DWM, which Aero8Tuner will do for you. See the following video:

First of all, hats off to your hard work. I installed some of your apps in my old Windows 7 system and they all were very useful.

 

But features like "Animations Slowdown" has no use at all or am I missing something' here?
