Aero Glass for Win8.1 RTM RC3

[usaff22]

Eagerly awaiting an x86 version. Thanks for your time bigmuscle

dear bigmuscle, I can live with the "beta" popup and the dwm window, but is it really necessary to have that damned watermark?

Agreed

[bigmuscle]

Watermark is going to replace the message box to be less noisy.

Thanks.

I´d prefer the message box, but it´s better to have aeroglass with restrictions than no glass at all...

Watermarks don't interrupt peoples' games.

I think it's a good move. It's the same thing Microsoft does with evaluation versions of Windows.

Can someone explain me how to install Beta 2? I haven't run any previous version and I don't know how to run Beta 2.

FYI, Battlefield 4 crashed on me making all windows invisible, all i saw was a grey border around them, Luckily I managed to access the DWM.exe window and close it so DWM restarted, then all was OK again. Not sure if there's anything to do about this in the future but I thought it was worth mentioning.

EDIT:

Same thing happend when I updated my Radeon drivers, might be a driver issue, didn't happen the first time I updated.

Sorry for bad english, I'm Russian, and helps me google translate.
There is a bug: (
Running the application Magnify.exe leads to a drop and restart dwm.exe, maybe not immediately, but each time, until Magnify.exe is closed.
P.S. Have a license. Thank you!
P.P.S. Everything else is just great

I can replicate this on Windows 8.1 with the latest beta, with my license. Not a big deal for me, personally, since I never use the tool, but...

[bigmuscle]

It is the same problem as with multiple displays, currently I don't apply any transformation to the image (except of translation) and that's why it can cause problems.

AERO GLASS for Win8.1 Beta 3

We're still closer and closer to RC and final, so here is another beta to test.

Changes:

* applied affine transformation to glass safety zone and blur effect rendering

* registry settings is loaded even when AppInit_DLLs loading is not used

* CustomThemeResource settings is read from registry again (but custom atlas is not applied to already visible windows - they need to be refreshed manually)

* fixed blur on regions consisting of more than 4 rectangles

And yes, you still need to manually download symbols for udwm.dll, dwmcore.dll and dwm.exe else it won't work.

Beta3, Magnify.exe not a bug!

I can´t get a custom theme resource to work with beta 3...and glass reflections are gone.
