ISOHaven Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 It worked fine for me (transparent and blur) but while running, trying to go into StartIsBack properties caused an error but let me continue anyway. Then when I disabled menu and taskbar transparency, those two looked fine but it turned off for all other apps and windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonyi1966 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Works, but my windows are barely transparent. What reg setting and where to adjust level of transparency now. Reg setting from before have no effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmuscle Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Registry settings are still the same (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ etc.). However, this version uses Direct3D mode as default so I recommend not to use GlassTransparency settings at all (either delete it from registry or set it to zero) else it will interfere with default DWM colorizations.

Blackbird256 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) How exactly can I change the inactive window color? I tried messing with ColorizationColorInactive, but they are always black which looks ugly and StartIsBack loses its colorization.Nevermind some leftover registry entries but the SIB thing still applies.And yeah no more crashes on the 7 theme so far. Good job! Edited March 27, 2013 by Blackbird256 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmuscle Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 StartIsBack loses its colorization when you apply ColorizationColorInactive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbird256 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) ColorizationColorInactive does nothing with SIB. I tried changing values, delete it, but SIB is still fully transparent, no blur and no color.http://i.imgur.com/BORMyLk.jpgTurning off SIB's built-in transparency for itself and taskbar does nothing, too.

bigmuscle Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Ah, yeah. This is my problem - I completely disabled colorization for DX11 objects because I though it applies for taskbar only (because taskbar is colorized by different method now). I will try to fix it. This problem should not appear in D2D mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbird256 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) Glad to see this resolved. Another thing that might not be importnant, but when I start the loader it makes everything very dark and then leaves black artifacts on start button image and tray bar.http://i.imgur.com/0Ug2D5r.pngWhen I click the OK button everything is normal again, but I find it odd it does that.

bigmuscle Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 yes, this is normal. The message dialog runs in the context of DWM message queue and therefore all messages (including colorization settings etc.) are blocked until the dialog is closed.

cartoonmonkey Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 @bigmuscle Hmm.. can you make a script that will replace the explorer with that from windows 7? (x64)I really need DWM disabled to use flash in Windows 8. I suppose I will have to do without Metro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
