DoubleSAnimations Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Can you explain to me what happened that made Color Intensity and Show Color Mixer not show up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cottonlane Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) The old version of Glass8 Must be uninstalled before the move-up to windows 8.1 32bit, because leaving on the system, causes untold problems when the computer is shut down for the first time. Screen flashing and will not load the new system. Edited October 22, 2013 by cottonlane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Hold down the control key if you get into a black screen / flashing situation.-Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapca Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Does anyone know of a way to hide the dwm.exe window? I use RTtray but it doesn't want to hide this one :/Using HideAnyWindow here and it's working fine.http://www.morun.net/www/downloads/hideanywindow.htmlWhat did you set to hide dwm.exe window? There's another window related with bigmuscle's solution "Information". I hide it with HideAnyWindow by rule: title window include "Information", I did same thing with dwm.exe but this windows always starts with Win 8 and don't know solution to hide it. Can someone help?

NoelC Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Expect the DWM window to appear when you first boot up / log in, after which it can be minimized. Live with it in the Tasbar for now, and rest assured BigMuscle is working toward a nice, clean release.My advice: Stop obsessing over hiding it. Minimize it and learn to ignore its icon/button in the Taskbar. You were given a flexible mind for a reason.FYI, personally I use a WinBatch script that I run from the Startup group to automatically minimize dwm.exe after login. I see the dwm.exe window for a few seconds, then it just minimizes. Small price to pay to be allowed to test the beta versions of this cool software.My version of WinBatch allows "compile" of a script, which builds both the script interpreter and script itself into a single executable. Handy. If you'd like to try a copy, you may download it from here:http://Noel.ProDigitalSoftware.com/temp/MinimizeDWMWindow.zipExtract the .exe file from within the above .zip into a folder in which the script package can extract its own DLL files when it is run. Then drag a shortcut into your Startup folder, e.g.: C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartupThis is a quick and dirty script, and has exactly one command in it: WinIconize("dwm.exe");When you run it (e.g., automatically from within your C:\Users\NoelC\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder) , it will minimize an existing window with the name dwm.exe. If such a window does not exist, it will pop up an error.-Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrGRiM Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I made a couple of new reflection images, sort of based on the default ones but a bit sharper, I also made one 200% the size, the result is much a smoother looking reflection with no jagged edges. 802x604 Original Size 1604x1208 200% Size You will need to edit the DWMGlass.dll to replace the reflection image if you want to give them a go. Screen of how it looks on 8.1 with glass reflection intensity set to 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Nice job, MrGRIM.BigMuscle, it might be nice if your released product would allow the specification of a separate reflection glass resource file.-Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmuscle Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 If I manage to do it, reflection image will be part of the atlas file, so you will be able to change either by theme modification or by using custom atlas file. But it's the future task, now I need to finalize glass rendering with the occlusion enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
