Dreamweaver01 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 First post.What wonderful software BigMuscle has created.Congrats on your new web page also.
DosProbie Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Nice web site BigMuscle!, Here are a couple of Aero shots..
bigmuscle Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 Yeah, these two looks clean. Could you just modify the second one so the blur is more noticeable? E.g. by adding some background inactive window with text etc? And is it simple custom resource change? I don't want to present "Use unsigned themes" feature now because it is still buggy and I will not fix it in final release, thus screenshot must show only what we are able to achieve by changing "CustomThemeResource" registry value.
Tusticles Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Tusticles, what visual style is that?Modified resources from windows 7 msstyle.
ace2 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 DimasKidIt will not be long now, new website is being setup ready for full version, but you may have to pay for full version.MY opinion:Bigmuscle deserve every penny for all his hard work (If he is going to charge / sell dwmglass.dll).
CKyHC Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 BM, i think it's need to add the "favicon.ico" file to root in the site to add icon of program that visible on browsers.
DosProbie Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 2 more visual styles shots - 1 mod with Win7 blue magnify search and rtm navs and the other with win8 stock aero.mstyles..DP
Tusticles Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) Hmm, windowblinds8 is out, here is a random theme applied to win8There is transparency behind the navigation bar , but without blur it looks like sh*t! Edited June 22, 2013 by Tusticles
bigmuscle Posted June 22, 2013 Author Posted June 22, 2013 DosProbie: nice screenshots, I should make some gallery on the website to present the look of AG's users.Tusticles: yeah, WB does not provide blur effect but even if it does in the future, it still follows different approach than my Aero Glass. WB just hooks into system via RegisterUserApiHook and thus completely replaces UX theme service. Then it draws the frame completely via GDI so you cannot be sure that HW acceleration is used for it. My first (private only) version of Aero Glass worked this way, because it is very easy to do, but I rather decided go the native way by DWM hooking :-)

Can you do it?
