djborek Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I found a solution to the problem "DWM incompatibility error" as someone I want to let them write to me at PW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specular Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 After recently trying out a new'CustomThemeAtlas' PNG (using the registry value) I noticed when hovering over the windows close buttons that areas of transparency within the titlebar would flash or darken. The PNG was valid, and aligned with my current msstyle, so that's not the issue. Problem is even after reverting back the issue persists.Seems to appear randomly, but I've found it's usually when two or more windows are visible on the screen and one of the window's close buttons are hovered upon. Really strange, as it's been perfect up until now as far as I remember. Donating user btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmuscle Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) It would good to know the exact scenario, it could be the problem with computing the occlusion data but it is impossible to be fixed without being able to reproduce the problem. + maybe the screen image (it will probably be necessary to take the shot by camera, because this kind of artefacts are not visible in PrintScreen shots) Edited September 20, 2014 by bigmuscle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specular Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) + maybe the screen image (it will probably be necessary to take the shot by camera, because this kind of artefacts are not visible in PrintScreen shots) Next time I see it happening I'll see if I can capture the effect. Also, congrats on your 1,000th post Edited September 20, 2014 by Specular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specular Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Managed to capture some video of the flickering as a WebM. This time the effect appeared on both titlebars at the same time. Video clip here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo76 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I never had any problem with Aero Glass and my Windows 8.1 is always kept up to date. Remember to have trouble free Aero Glass is to use a geniune donation version. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnVB Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I installed AeroGlass v 1.2.5 (for Windows 8.1). I have a 64 bit OS. I've donated and was able to download the donation key that was correctly loaded. The software worked well for two days and then no transparency even after restarting the computer but I was seeing the shadows around the windows. Now after uninstalling the software and reinstalling again I have no shadows and no transparency at all even when nothing wrong is shown in the debug file. I have the symbols downloaded because I saw the black window once and I have that folder.

bigmuscle Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 JohnVB: what is your graphic card and screen setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnVB Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Hi, I have an Intel HD Graphics 4000 in my Dell notebook. The Screen setup is 1920 x 1080. Right now I am seeing that the transparency came back. Now the borders are transparent too (before only the title bar). Before, every window had a shadow. Now They don't have a shadow. Is there a way to control these aspects. I would like to get the shadow back. The transparency is ok now. I hope it stays like this.Thank you.

Many people forget that a registry setting needs to be changed for the transparency to work with the laptop unplugged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnVB Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 jhjohns: I just checked now with the Laptop plugged in, and the transparency came back !. I would like to get back the shadow to the windows. That's a cool effect and it was present before I reinstalled the software. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badmojo Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Hey, Quick Question. I donated 5 Euros and got the email saying to use the paypal email address and postal code associated with my paypal account. Unfortunately I get the following error:Sorry, but we could not find you in the database.The e-mail or ZIP probably does not match your PayPal account at the time of your donation.This may also be caused by situation that you didn't respect donation instructions and you used different form of the donation. Is it because my donation is too small? Also I have 2 physical addressed associated with my paypal account, one in Malaysia and the other in Australia, could this have caused an issue? I tried the postal code for both addresses with no success. Also added info my Australian postal code is 4 digits only. I'm not even sure if this is the right place to be asking this, but I'm not quite sure where else to go. ThanksIsaac PS: Great bit of kit this software.

I am also in Oz and used my 4 digit postcode with no issues. I donated 10 euro and got 6 keys so I would think 5 euro would still be enough.
