newhappy Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I have NVIDIA Geforce GTS 450 Card and I use Aero0.91(RC0).I found the screen turn black when I log on.Only the mouse cursor displayed on the screen.Then I set DeviceFeatureLevel to 0x9300 and set UseNativeBlur to 1 in Windows Safe Mode.Then Windows and aero glass works great ! Internet Explorer also works fine(No full transparency bug in Native Blur Mode ! )Can't wait for the final version ! Thank you , bigmuscle!

bigmuscle Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 There must be something else, because there is no native blur mode in RC0 (UseNativeBlur setting is completely ignored). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soukyuu Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 ColorizationBlurBalanceInactive + ColorizationAfterglowBalanceInactive, both influence the level of the transparency.I tried those but ColorizationColorBalanceInactive is the only key that allowed me adjust the inactive frame so that the black captions are readable...Is there a way to get a white blurry outline around the window caption only? Or is that part of the theme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolchampion Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 shell32.dll version is 6.2.9200.16547I tried different DeviceFeatureLevel setting, anything higher than or equal to DX10 will result in black screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is that part of the theme?ColorizationAfterglowBalanceInactive influences it too (but minimally) but you should ensure that the sum of both won't be higher than 100 else it can result in weird things. Caption glow effect is a theme thing.shell32.dll version is 6.2.9200.16547I tried different DeviceFeatureLevel setting, anything higher than or equal to DX10 will result in black screen.DeviceFeatureLevel depends on your graphic card. If your graphic card does not support selected feature level, you will end up with the black screen. If you set DeviceFeatureLevel lower than default, you just switch your graphic card to backward-compatibility mode which can result in unexpected behavior (someone reported here that Metro application does not have to work correctly), degraded performance and other things. The final version will not have this setting at all, so I would like to fix all related issues as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmuscle Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 no crashlog.txt generated? What happens when you hold ctrl during black screen (so you don't force restart), does it work or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tusticles Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 no crashlog.txt generated? What happens when you hold ctrl during black screen (so you don't force restart), does it work or not?Wow, I held down the button for 40 seconds or so and nothing happened then I started to tap the key and returned to desktop miraculously.This time a crash log was created.fourth_time_applied.txtcrash_fourth_time_applied.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmuscle Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Ok, if the crashlog is the reason than it could help. I know how to reproduce it. However, it is weird that it happens on startup :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmuscle Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 do you use startisback or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tusticles Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) do you use startisback or something like that?Yes, but I don't see why would that be a problem, 0.9 worked fine.Btw I tried again and the crashfix you uploaded does the same thing, black screen when is applied, sometimes the black screen occurs after a few seconds, sometimes it stays active and I have time to restart explorer, after restarting explorer again our friend, the black screen.here is another log...crashfix_debug2.txt Edited May 11, 2013 by Tusticles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
