The 14905 is totally screwed up in regard to themes engine generally, not only DWM and AeroGlass. E.g.: inability to set the theme background and other things. So I suggest to avoid this build.

UCyborg Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 One thing I've been wondering since Windows 10, why does the default setting TextGlowMode result in caption text being shifted to the right? It happens with Aero Glass whether custom theme atlas is used or not. It worked fine with this theme on WIndows 8.1, no text shifting. I have this disabled, NoelC's RoundedBorders.png doesn't add any glow anyway, and the shifting looks stupid IMO. Text caption color set to white, which looks good most of the time, but if background where caption resides is brighter, black glow would certainly be useful to make the text readable, which is how Windows 7 behaved out of the box if I remember correctly. Or was it the other way around, black text and white glow in the background. I'd leave the color at default, but auto setting isn't smart enough to figure out when it's more appropriate to color caption white instead of black.

klasik Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Than it's really weird for you to have blur on taskbar because as BigMuscle's link said: Quote It will apply glass effect only on the regions which are marked to have blur behind. It does not alter any region behaviour on its own. If some application wants to have glass effect somewhere, it must enable it explicitely. The taskbar belongs to Windows Explorer shell, thus you must enable blur behind on your own by calling DWM API function DwmEnableBlurBehindWindow. Blur effect will also apply tint of glass color. So, there must by some other tool that calls that dwm DwmEnableBlurBehindWindow function on your system and as a result you have blur in taskbar. In my opinion..

I don't think I left that enabled... As I recall there were aspects of it I didn't like. Can you remind me again what registry entry to look for to confirm that I have it disabled? Win 10 RS1 is definitely reverting something at every startup. -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tusticles Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) The stock start menu is glitched when aero glass blur is enabled. Make sure blur radius value is higher than 0 then just resize the start menu. Can someone replicate this bug? --Edit-- Also place some windows behind the start menu before resizing it.

My simple answer is - no, I have no obligations, I will always develop my software as I want. This topic is about experimental builds testing and any other off-topic posts will be removed.

You have no obligation for aeroglass to continue to work but you should ensure that it does not break the OS when it stops, your software needs some way of detecting if it is compatible and ensuring it will be disabled if it isn't and then stopping itself to avoid it crashing display drivers.

bigmuscle Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 I know what you mean but you could select the better form of saying. You could put it as some decision or feature request and not just saying that I am obligated to do it. Because I am not. Aero Glass v1.4.5 is explicitely said to be designed only for builds up to 10586 and the incompatibility with future Windows version is even explicitely written on the website. If user install some low-level advanced software and then he installs incompatible OS, it is only his responsibility when it stops working and not mine. On the other side, since AG build 631, when DWM crashes several times in very short time, it will stop DLL injection completely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmuscle Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) Build #639, 64 bit Designed for Windows 10 build 14393 Fixed DLL injection when system boots up too fast Fixed optimization of dirty regions Changed the way how it deals with colorization settings: * AccentColor (DWORD 0xFFBBGGRR) - color of active window frame * AccentColorInactive (DWORD 0xFFBBGGRR) - color of inactive window frame * GlassOpacity (DWORD, default: 68) - amount of glass opacity (0-100) or amount of blur blend with the background (10-100, see following settings) * EnableBlurBlend (DWORD 0 or 1) - 0 (default) means that blurred background is just overlaid with the AccentColor using the specified opacity; 1 means that the AccentColor is blended together with the background color using the specified opacity (the main difference is just the formula for putting blur and AccentColor together) Old ColorizationXXX settings values are ignored, because Win10 build 14393 always reset them to default under certain circumstances. I also think that those old ColorizationBalances and Afterglows are not needed anymore. There still can appear some random glitches. I currently do not know the cause but I would like to know if they appear often or they are very rare. If you have some other decision how to deal the colorization settings, you can put it here. http://glass8.eu/win_future.html Edited August 20, 2016 by bigmuscle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
