bigmuscle Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 Please, could you discuss GUI things in a separate thread? I want to have this thread for discussing DWM hook stuff only.
Netham45 Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Any idea when you're going to post the source, bigmuscle?
HydroHusky Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Does anybody know how I can get rounded corners on windows? It will really look like aero then. If anyone does know can they send me a link or name of the theme? Thanks in advance and very good job on the blur effect! Looking forward to more!

I guess he could implement the program to not blend the corners, but then he would have to create a bunch of new visual style files (.msstyles files) for rounded windows.

idas Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) Please, could you discuss GUI things in a separate thread? I want to have this thread for discussing DWM hook stuff only.1. please, when a 32 bit beta or whatever version could be for test it?2. just as an idea which may complete wrong, do you think that you could make an application such as this you already made but to 'load' the library values from a dwm of windows 8 release preview [named that system file different] to win 8 rtm?(i mean if that could help to bypass any of the problems in searching correct values of code,)==================thanks in advance.============ Edited February 16, 2013 by idas
bigmuscle Posted February 16, 2013 Author Posted February 16, 2013 I must admit that I am not sure what you think by "the library values from a dwm of windows 8 release preview".
AlexKven Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Why isn't there any sort of freeware visual style maker?
ORelio Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Please, could you discuss GUI things in a separate thread? I want to have this thread for discussing DWM hook stuff only.Done. I posted a separate thread here : Sorry for the inconvenience, now I won't give any support for the GUI on this thread.I must admit that I am not sure what you think by "the library values from a dwm of windows 8 release preview".I think that he suggested to re-use some Aero Glass code from the release preview and load/hook/use it in the final version instead of rewriting it from scratch.

Tusticles Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 I think that he suggested to re-use some Aero Glass code from the release preview and load/hook/use it in the final version instead of rewriting it from scratch.Is it possible?
bigmuscle Posted February 17, 2013 Author Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) It is not fully possible, but next version will use original pixel shaders which are still present in Windows 8 and even loaded into memory by DWM process itself. Edited February 17, 2013 by bigmuscle
bphlpt Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 I think that he suggested to re-use some Aero Glass code from the release preview and load/hook/use it in the final version instead of rewriting it from scratch.Is it possible?Probably not without running afoul of various EULAs, and/or requiring the user to provide the RP version code, and/or ... Just seems like it would be too complicated to me.Cheers and Regards
