How do I apply the fix? Replacing the dll just brings back the vanilla 2.0 Aero blur.

Can you take a screenshot? And also a screenshot of your config.ini and GUI

I assume you're coming from BlurGlass-Mod.zip, here's how you can use the values from there:

For example, you have this in your config right now:
[aero]
PrimaryBalance=0.08         ; Controls normal layer opacity. If you turn this up to 1 the window will be fully opaque, for example. Ranges from 0 to 1

Active_SecondaryBalance=0.43    ; Controls the multiply layer intensity for active windows. Ranges from 0 to 1.
Inactive_SecondaryBalance=0.43    ; Controls the multiply layer intensity for inactive windows. Ranges from 0 to 1.

Active_BlurBalance=-0.125    ; Controls "overexposure" effect for active windows. Ranges from -1 to 1
Inactive_BlurBalance=0.365    ; Controls "overexposure" effect for inactive windows. Ranges from -1 to 1 

For 2.1.0, this is how these settings would translate:

[config.aero]
activeColorBalance=0.080000  
inactiveColorBalance=0.032000 ; altalex for some reason didn't do * 0.4f so its always 40% of the active color, so you have to do the manual work
activeBlurBalance=-0.125000   ; these settings translate perfectly, just copy the values from your old config.ini
inactiveBlurBalance=0.365000

you may notice there is no secondarybalance here, just set the OPACITY OF YOUR TITLEBAR BLEND COLOR TO THE SECONDARY BALANCE YOU WANT. for example, here the config says 0.43 secondary balance for both active and inactive, so you would set your titlebar blend color opacity for active/inactive to 43%. This isn't a fixed value, make sure to match up with whatever color you want. If you have overrideaccent = true, for SIB you can just match up the color and opacity of the DWMBlurGlass colors.

The reason why it probably looks like 2.0 aero is because colorbalance is actually working now and thus it probably became really opaque, just a matter of adjusting it

No, I added this fix directly to the 2.1 pre-release, which was working fine except for the reflection, and after replacing the ext.dll, the blur changed to 2.0 vanilla.

After fix:

Your colorbalance is 0.43. Set it to 0.08 and 0.032 (40% of the active).

Ok that fixed it! Thank you!
