Feedback:  Build #668 runs OK for me, with DWM averaging something like 0.16% (not 16 percent, but a small fraction of 1 percent) CPU usage.

Sorry, if my problem is allready known...

When using themeatlas (win8rp.png) in any window with ribbon bug like this

Build 668:

DWM is about 2% CPU for me, and ~170MB RAM.   (ASUS Rampage V Extreme, 5960x, 32GBRAM, Dual 1080i video cards)

Actually, RAM steadily creeping up, now 190MB, is that "normal" for a debug build?

After stopping the task and restarting it, memory seems to have leveled off at about 130MB

#668 runs very well on my machine, haven't caught any visual glitch yet, RAM usage hovers around 80-90 MB, CPU usage seems normal, around 0.3% maximum when not doing anything, jumps to about 3% when moving mouse around. I have an aging AMD Phenom II x4 920, 4 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti (driver version 368.81).

I also haven't been able to reproduce those visual glitches from last time when working in Word 2016 (modal dialog border going fully transparent).

Ah, total user error, I was certain I'd done that, but must have refreshed the wrong tab or something, now it's indeed there, thank you!

Latest Windows 10 Update (for build 10.0.10586) now breaks Aero Glass v1.4.5 DWM.exe compatibility check:
The following screenshot shows the error 'Failed when trying to download symbols.'  Retrying does not work.

Clicking cancel clears the error and glass effect still provides basic function...

EDIT: Reinstalling v1.4.5 did the trick and properly re-downloaded a fresh set of symbols.
All is good now.
