SeNS Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 bigmuscle, could you please announce ETA for the AeroGlass for Windows 8.1? I've tried (and currently using) beta release and it works pretty stable (btw, thanks a lot!)I know, you don't like to set any kind of deadlines for the fun projects but (I think so) it will be very nobly towards donators...P.S. I'm one of the donators And I'm sorry to trouble you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmuscle Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) AERO GLASS for Win8.1 Beta 2After some time, I'm presenting you next beta version of Aero Glass for Win8.1 intended for hunting glitches. There is not much changes but they are big:- previous beta 1 disabled occlusion to correctly render blur regions. It caused that it rendered even non-visible (covered) window regions resulting in lower performance and higher power consumption- this part has been completely reimplemented (because needed code from Win8 is not already present) and now it works as intended - invisible regions are not rendered at all- glass safety zone fixes- fixes for multiple monitors/devices/render targetsCurrent roadmap:- fix bugs/glitches created during occlusion reimplementation- reimplement missing features from Win8 version (e.g. loading custom atlas file from registry settings etc.)- read glow and reflection image from atlas resource (and merge this into Win8 version)- build 32-bit version- create launcher not to be dependent on AppInit_DLLs- fix last visible bugs, optimize performance and implement proper error handling- release final versionEnjoy! But remember that this is still only beta build not intended for daily usage!http://glass8.berlios.de/win81.html Edited October 25, 2013 by bigmuscle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hfb Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Thanks.Second monitor now works with beta 2 but I still get no blur on the transparent spaces so I went back to alpha 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmuscle Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 hfb: don't you have BlurDeviation set to zero? There is no other way to achieve transparency without blur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfb Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) No.Changing BlurDeviation value changes nothing for me.No matter if I set it to 0, or 30, or 100, or delete the whole entry, there is no blur on transparent spaces on windows.The command does work on my taskbar and my classic-shell start menu, but not on any window.The outer edge of window borders is blurred, about half a millimeter, the rest is completely clear.With Alpha 1 I get blur as it should be.

hfb Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) Within win 8.1 I use a default system theme with a custom background.For aeroglass I use Noel´s theme from you downloadpage.I just tried setting both themes to default, but still no blur...

MaximilianPs Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Would be amazing to have a blurred start background too, but seen the roamap I guess that feature is far from being considered :-) Inviato dal mio GT-I9505 utilizzando Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunk4TH Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Though like beta 1 for some reason I only get transparency if I use the Metro theme from here http://skinpacks.com/download/windows-8/#.UeCfiUHryKg the default theme doesn't work. I haven't tried any other themes though. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGRiM Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I see your not allowing us to have our own reflection image now, adding our own now stops aero from working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
