hfb Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 All other builds worked fine with the symbols I have...does beta 3 need different ones?Beta 3 itself works fine, just without custom theme and without glass reflection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakenabarion Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) Oh yes, this works on both monitors now! FYI, the download link on the webpage still links to the Beta 2, but changing the url to having a 3 instead of a 2 works for download.Edit: Anyway, I'll test for longer term stability and report back if anything goes wrong. So far I am so very pleased to have transparency in 8.1, and could not care less about things like watermarks or debug windows.

Dnamb Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 All other builds worked fine with the symbols I have...does beta 3 need different ones?Beta 3 itself works fine, just without custom theme and without glass reflection. In beta 3, it also needs debug symbols for DWM.exe apart from uDWM and dwmcore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) Beta 3 seems to work indistinguishably from its predecessor for me here.This version causes the same audio glitches as before when I move my cursor over glass areas. Is there more information I can provide you about this?Frankly this audio glitch stuff will be a show-stopper for me, as I listen to music all the time via Pandora or the Media Player while working, and while just dropouts or pops that last a tiny fraction of a second, they're quite irritating to hear.EDIT: I just tested thoroughly without Aero Glass for Win 8 in the system, and apparently it's a display driver glitch in VMware Workstation 10, because it pops and drops out even without your product in the system, BigMuscle.You wrote:>registry settings is loaded even when AppInit_DLLs loading is not used.How does that work and how can we test it, since that's the only link to the actual DWMGlass.dll made now? Are you anticipating your installer providing some other means of injecting the DLL into the system? Or maybe it being part of a theme implementation?Does it still maintain system integrity (i.e., SFC /VERIFYONLY succeeds)?-Noel Edited November 1, 2013 by NoelC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfb Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) OK, thanks.So where to get these symbols? Automatic downloading never worked for me although I have a licensed copy.Without Ace2´s tutorial I could not use these betas at all.

NoelC Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Hm, themeatlas.png file loading seems intermittent. I've booted up my Win 8.1 test system 6 times since installing beta 3, and 2 of the 6 times it came up without my custom theme atlas loaded, no matter how long I waited. Closing and restarting the DWM window caused it to load, after a delay.There are no errors I can see in the debug.log... This is from a bootup where it didn't load...http://Noel.ProDigitalSoftware.com/ForumPosts/debug.log-Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmuscle Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 I never said when it will happen. However, it is weird that you get popup if:although I have a licensed copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
