drakenabarion Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Oh, and for what it's worth, you don't need to go through a big production involving the registry to install these files if you already have beta 1... Just RENAME the old files that are about to be overwritten, then copy the new ones out of BigMuscle's .7z file, then either close the DWM window or log off/on.-NoelActually, I am getting the new dll running. I updated this way (I definitely deleted the old one). Yup, still has the problem. But not complaining - its what the beta is for right?

NoelC Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Absolutely. I wish your experience with it was as good as mine, though. It's really making Windows 8.1 a pleasure to use.I'm keenly interested in the progress of dealing with rotated displays. I'm planning on getting another larger display that has the same number of pixels vertically as my two current displays have horizontally, and the same ppi. Specifically, I'm thinking of turning them up sideways and having them be "ears" to the new, big display. Something like this:-Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 First possible bug to report from me:Moving the cursor around causes pops and skips in music playing from Pandora.com, especially when it's moved over glass regions.Happens with audio being played by Media Player too.I'm not completely sure it's not a VMware driver issue. More testing is in order. -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGRiM Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Yeah I noticed that opening a few windows seems to impact performance a fair bit as well, plus not sure if it's glass or my modified system but had a few explorer restarts, no error message, just all windows closed, screen went black and then restarted.

truexfan81 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 MrGRiM i cannot get this to work at all in 8.1 with the beta2titlebars and buttons don't showup correctly, and the colors are not applied, its all black.and i do have my uxthemes.dll patchedhttp://mrgrim01.deviantart.com/art/Aero-8-Glow-364494879 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul70 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) @NoelCdoes Aero Glass Beta 2 work with your rotated display configuration? I have almost the same as you but only with 1 rotated DELL placed left from my main ASUS main display and it doesn't work as I reported above.Although you seem to have surround spanning configuration, I only have exand main display to second displayEDIT:@bigmusclehere a few pics/screenshots to demonstrate the issues with beta2 I posted above in #329- Display position in the room (aero glass working on both displays with below nvidia configuration 1)http://abload.de/image.php?img=img_06634cx82.jpg1) 2nd display set to the right of main display and standard non rotated orientation (nvidia settings) -> aero glass workshttp://abload.de/image.php?img=2right_non_rotateddulvk.jpg2) 2nd display set to the right of main display but rotated (nvidia settings) -> black screenhttp://abload.de/image.php?img=2right_rotated5fzx5.jpg3) 2nd display set to the left of main display and non rotated orientation (nvidia settings) -> black screenhttp://abload.de/image.php?img=2left_non_rotatedevx8l.jpgSo, unfortunatelly I still cannot use Aero Glass with my hardware configuration Edited October 27, 2013 by paul70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmuscle Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 paul70: yes, I'm aware that rotated screen can be problem. DWM normally uses transformation matrix which is applied to each rendered region. I currently apply only translation part of the matrix, so any rotation, scaling etc. can end up in incorrect rendering. I guess it is the same reason why different order of multiple displays is the problem too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmuscle Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 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...Tomorrow, when I return home, I will build private test build which will provide more verbose log to find out the problem.I see your not allowing us to have our own reflection image now, adding our own now stops aero from working.It is surely a bug which is not intended. However, It's not needed to be fixed because it will be rewritten later to load resource from theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmuscle Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 It is easy to fix but I was lazy to do matrix multiplication to compute the transformation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have that setup shown in the picture yet, I just have the two "ear" monitors at the moment, both in landscape orientation (non-rotated). But I'll be getting the big central monitor very soon.Whether Aero Glass for Win 8+ handles a rotated monitor well will flavor my decision whether to move up from Windows 7 on that system. I hope BigMuscle can find the time to do it.-Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endeavor Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 @bigmuscle, I am sooooo happy to see your Current roadmap has plans to build a 32 bit, can't hardly wait for it. @Noel, I really like your rounded corners, I'd even round a little more. (I don't care for the squared corners of stock Win8 at all) imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
