MikeRL Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I can confirm that glitch ocurrs when one stacks up Windows. It seems to be at random, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I found a way to make the bug less random. Try using a custom theme resource (like the "default" one that comes with AGTweaker). Then the bug will show up 100% of the time. Otherwise, you are correct in that it seems to be a bit random. I also wanted to confirm that guy's report a few pages back about not getting DirectX 10 working on 0.8. When I downgraded to 0.7, DX10 started working perfectly. I tried it with and without AGTweaker as well -- for me, DX10 works only with 0.7. I have an Intel HD 3000. Autodetect detects DX10 regardless of version, which means autodetect worked with 0.7 but not with 0.8. What do I mean by "not work" in 0.8? I mean there is no blur or coloration, just completely transparent glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazl Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) Not sure what your problem is as you did not really explain it, if your referring to the non transparent top part of the jump list then I can say that I have not had this problem at all with aero glass from Big Muscle I have used D3D and D2D and both render fine with the themes that support it, just because it was ported directly from Windows 7 does not mean there might not be some problems, send me a link for the theme to test and I can tell you straight away if the problem is with the theme or not.Yeah sorry about not specifying the black transparency. I think the issue lies with WSB however. When I try exporting the top image (JumpListUser) the image always comes out with full opacity, no matter how many times I try importing the 50% transparency image. I even tried using the image that's working on the bottom part but I get the same issue. Saving as a 32bit bmp and converting to png didn't work either. If you have a theme where the transparency works and you don't mind sharing I'd love to take a look, if not I'm ready to PM you my theme if your offer about taking a look still stands. Thanks!

bigmuscle Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 AERO GLASS for Win8 BETA3 Ok, here it is.What's new?* completely removed layered windows hack* fixed glass on the secondary taskbar* many code fixes and refactoring* almost all low-level stuff (see beta 2 changelog) should work regardless the used DLL versions and even on 32-bit--> this probably still needs some coding--> works until MS changes the internal DWM functions--> if something is wrong, message about DLL incompatibility will pop up* implemented that color swatches in control panel can be loaded from external DLL--> registry script which changes default swatches to Win8 RP (more glass-friendly) is attached--> backup the original registry key before importing !!!--> you will probably need to change the owner and permission of the registry branch--> DO NOT do it if you are not advanced user!!!--> you will be unable to change frame color if you don't use AeroGlass utility after importing this registry key* fixed glass on surface render targets--> glass won't work if one side of your screen resolution is less than 200 pixelshttps://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=13124 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soukyuu Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Importing the swatches.reg from 0.9 gives me an "Cannot import swatches.reg: Not all data was successfully written to the registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes, or you have insufficient privileges to perform this operation". I did give it admin privileges though, glass was not active when I attempted that.

Also it is necessary to disable taskbar transparency, otherway taskbar is fully transparent. BUT: when taskbar transparency is enabled there are no more glitches - they can be found only on the taskbar.

jb3555 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) Beta 3, win8 x86, still don't have blur, only transparency and colorization.logsUPD: Oh, changing color intensity seems to be working, nevermind then. I'll keep testing. Edited May 4, 2013 by jb3555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
