bigmuscle Posted April 19, 2013 Author Posted April 19, 2013 My conclusions are that native/non-native blur doesn't make a difference, high levels cause the effect to stop working, and other values have little or no effect.There is slight transparency though.And it is exactly how it works. When you have incomatible DWM version than native blur simply does not work. Also, as I said many times before, blur radius cannot be adjusted in Direct3D (and neither in native) mode. The transparency level should be always set to zero else it will place another color layer on the top of the frame which makes it almost opaque. (it should be adjusted a bit only - e.g. to 64 - if you use standard Windows 8 theme). If you want to adjust transparency level correctly than just use Windows Control panel.
deltebews Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Any help for me? I havent blur effect. x86.Don't use native blur - it doesn't work in x32 version yet. If still no blur, try to update your win8.
Blackbird256 Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 What about the close window animation. You said somewhere ITT that you'd have to add some additional hacky code for it work. Any luck on making it work?
bigmuscle Posted April 19, 2013 Author Posted April 19, 2013 close animation should normally work.. errrm if you have compatible UDWM.DLL (and not on 32-bit).

Blackbird256 Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) close animation should normally work.. errrm if you have compatible UDWM.DLL (and not on 32-bit).In 0.8? I haven't tried that one yet so I am sorry if you already fixed it, but there was no mention of it in changelog or ITT and in 0.7 it doesn't work. Close animation works in the new version.Aha. Alright then. Edited April 19, 2013 by Blackbird256
bigmuscle Posted April 19, 2013 Author Posted April 19, 2013 I didn't mentioned it in the changelog because it was no bug itself. It was one of the restriction which came with layered windows hack. Since layered windows are not used anymore (since 0.8 when not falling into backward compatibility mode) then all restrictions shouldn't appear anymore - and it is a bit hard to name all restrictions
Tarzikaf Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 2) black screen on reboot problem: when you press "reboot" it shows reboot screen, but then it turns to black with cursor on it (I had it for 5 minutes while windows updates installation)5) no difference between standard and native rendering - is it even works?I have these too.

bigmuscle Posted April 19, 2013 Author Posted April 19, 2013 "I had it for 5 minutes while windows updates installation" // do I understand correctly that this happen only when installing window updates? or does it happen on every reboot?

CKyHC Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) If "Start8" is installed, be sure that option "Disable transparency of taskbar" are enabled. If not it can be bugs with this part of software. Edited April 19, 2013 by CKyHC
deltebews Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Good news everyone! I've managed to remove "This is DEMO version" popup... completely. But I know, that bigmuscle is going to make money on this, so.. I made the popup appear only once on startup to make everyone happy... almost happy It seems to be working, but I'm still going to test it for awhile. Patched versions will be uploaded soon.P.S. bigmuscle, please don't hate me, this popup was really annoying
Blackbird256 Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Bad idea posting it here. It will create s***storm.
