I had a weird behaviour today. While watching a movie with mpc-hc and messing with the refreshrates (jumping between 24hz and 60hz) the screen blinked and I've lost a mouse pointer on the desktop, it was only visible on the taskbar. Restart helped but I wasn't be able to reproduce it again. I have no idea what might caused it, but i thought it's worth to mention. debug.log

Any chance to get my hands on the version with the console disabled? AG interferes with my XBStart I'm developing constatntly stealing the focus, even when minimized. And no, I cannot uninstall AG Even for 5min. Win8 theme makes me want to scratch my eyeballs out.

Hello, I would like to share with you version 2.1.9 of XBStart It's a simple app which provides one functionality to Windows 8 about which Microsoft apparently forgot in a hurry. It allows to use your Xbox 360 controller to open the Windows 8 start screen using the guide button, navigate and launch games, and apps. It also adds some of the Xbox One's sound effects. By holding the guide button you can power off the wireless controller. By holding the back and start buttons for 2 seconds you can add an app which you want to control with XBStart Up to 4 controllers are supported. Just download xbstart_setup.exe from my website and run the installer. http://www.xbstart.info In case my website is down here is the direct Dropbox link to XBStart version 2.1.9 https://www.dropbox.com/s/97r9mqiwnqvnz75/xbstart_v2.1.9_setup.exe CHANGELOG: 07 Mar 2015 - Version 2.1.9 stable released fixed disabling guide button in Steam BigPicture24 Dec 2014 - Version 2.1.8 stable released fixed crashes caused by some unicode characters.Internet Explorer (desktop and modern) can now be separately activated.27 Oct 2014 - Version 2.1 beta 6 released improved loading time when Windows is set to boot to Start Screenadded active apps manager in settingsadded assignable global buttons (back button + any other button, customizable in settings)added mouse mode (back button + left thumb, customizable in settings)mouse pointer speed adjustable in settingsadded Alt + Tab functionality in mouse modefixed windows showing incorrectly on high DPI settings.many bug fixes08 Jul 2014 - Version 2.0 beta 2 released bugfixes16 Jun 2014 - Version 2.0 beta 1 released added navigation of other appsadded on screen keyboardadded mouse pointer controladded volume controladded tab, close and menu buttonsadded option in settings to auto power off the controller on system shutdownadded option in settings to disable XBStart soundsadded option in settings to deactivate XBStart when Steam Big Picture is runningadded button in settings to pin Big Picture to Start Screenadded installerbugfixes9 Feb 2014 - Version 1.1 released fixed interference with DirectX runtime installersreduced CPU usage by 90%reduced memory consumptionadded option to select number of active controllers (1-4), by default controller nr 1 is activeadded autoupdate9 Jan 2014 - Version 1.0 released Initial version released FAQ: Q) XBStart gives an error during installation "Certificate Failed" A) Check your internet connection.

how did you make that nice taskbar gradient?

Why can't you just release a RC1 without a cmd box and watermark? It worked perfectly fine on my system.

Since It's working now I've got one more question. If i will buy a licence will the dwm.exe dos box and the watermark disappear or those are a RTM "features" and I need to wait for a final version?

Oh, Atlas? How the heck i supposed to know that? It's not on the website. It worked though, thank you.

This thing is driving me nutssss!!! I'm trying to use custom theme on the latest Aero Glass RTM x64 for Windows 8.1 but no luck so far I've created a reg key "CustomThemeResource" with my file location "C:\Windows\Aero\win8cp.png" at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM Yes, 3 location because everyone is giving a different one, including an author. Unfortunately none of them work. What am I doing wrong?
