If the new flat design available in Windows 8 and 8.1 isn’t quite your cup of tea and you’re looking for ways to bring back the Aero Glass theme, we’ve got you covered.

The so-called Aero Glass app can restore the traditional Aero look on your brand new computer with just a few clicks, regardless of whether you are running Windows 8 or 8.1

Starting with version 1.0 beta 2, the app also supports the newly-launched Windows 8.1, which means that transparency can also be added to this particular OS version.

Don’t forget, however, that it’s still in the beta development stage, so the app might still come with a number of bugs that could affect its overall performance on Windows 8.1. And still, it’s a nice way to make the new operating system look a bit more familiar.

Keeping the familiar look of the desktop is one of the essential things for many Windows 8.1 adopters and this is one of the reasons so many people criticized Microsoft for removing the Start button and menu in Windows 8 and for betting so big on the new Start screen.

So there's no doubt that this little tool can help you get used to the new platform faster, so go ahead and download Aero Glass 1.0 Beta 2 for Windows 8.1 to give it a try right away.
