bigmuscle Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) These builds are not intended for normal usage, they are just builds of my current working state. They may or may not work. They may contain features which may or may not be pushed in the final release. If you don't know how to install it then do NOT ask, because these builds are intended for very advanced users only which should already be familiar with the installation procedure. These are DEBUG builds only, they display watermark, they display debugging console and they display debug warning on startup. They may require debugging symbols for proper function. Do NOT use them if you do NOT want this or you cannot accept that these builds are experimental only. ------ Build #631, 64 bit Designed for Windows 10 build 14393 The main intention of this build is to test stability and various multi-monitor setups. 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. There still can appear some random rare glitches. Build #652, 64 bit Designed for Windows 10 build 14393 Fixed optimization of overlapped dirty regions Fixed data sharing between more drawings in one pass Includes new experimental ModernFrame.dll Build #668, 64 bit Designed for Windows 10 build 14393 Fixed occlusion management for overlapped dirty regions Build #669 - Pre-release, 64 bit Designed for Windows 10 build 14393 Same as #668 but compiled as release build Requires sign in to your profile http://glass8.eu/beta Edited September 13, 2016 by bigmuscle 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhjohns Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Thank you. Working on 14901, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGRiM Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) Seems to be a problem if you have blur set to 0, if it's 1 or higher it's fine but if set to 0 there is a lot of artefacts, this is only seen when using dark themes and black glass enhanced to make the windows transparent.

MrGRiM Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 OK another thing I am seeing is really messed up windows border colors, I can set border colors perfectly without aeroglass and with 1.4.5 but this new build is just messed up, also a trick I used to get the transparency slider working also effects the border colors on this build. No Glass Old 1.4.5 with Transparency slider New build default New build with Transparency slider As you can see the borders are not being colored correctly at all on the new build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klamatiel Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) Just installed RS1 on top of TH2. Before upgrading, copypasted over the old files the new experimental version. No transparency at all. If i did smth wrong, do advise people. OH, i see, i should only use the experimental files. I'll try that.

Shining Escuridao Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 From the download page Quote !!! DO NOT USE WIN8.1 INSTALLER FOR THIS DEBUG VERSION !!! !!! DO NOT INJECT DWMGLASS.DLL VIA OLD APPINIT_DLLS REGISTRY KEY !!! In other words the old method is not working and therefore shouldn't be used. You can still start it manually if you go into the task scheduler and tell it to run though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klamatiel Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Yes, did that, i've got transparency. Works though. Clsharp theme does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shining Escuridao Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Were you able to get anything else to work? So far I've only been able to get transparency and only that; nothing else works after a reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klamatiel Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) Well, tried some custom setings, they are applied. Haven't restarted yet. Oh, and apps are not transparent. I'll restart now to see how it goes. After restarting, my custom thingies seem to stick, apps are not transparent. All in all, i could live a few weeks like this, so thanks BM for the new build. I was expecting this particulary, i held off upgrade specifically for this. Edited August 15, 2016 by Klamatiel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware of this. However, there is nothing to do, because this seems to be change/bug in RS1. The slider just does not change the registry values as before. I also noticed interesting thing - if you open some app with admin rights (= UAC box displays), the transparency will return to normal. But this is nothing I could change.

Looks pretty nice here. It integrates nicely with the Taskbar and Notifications pane blur that Classic Shell provides. The only glitch I have been able to identify is that the Notifications panel, when pulled out, puts a border on the edge but doesn't blur it. I know that this is not at all your problem, Big Muscle, but the way Windows paints that pane. Also, I just noticed... It doesn't appear necessary to use UxThemeSignatureBypass to get light text on ribbon-enabled windows, though I suspect it will be a little better integrated if it is used. Some experimentation is apparently in order. Should we still expect that the old UxThemeSignatureBypass trick will work? For those who like my RoundedCorners theme atlas, I've updated the .layout file. You can find an updated copy here that works with build 14393: http://Noel.ProDigitalSoftware.com/ForumPosts/Win10/14393/RoundedCorners.zip Lastly, are you planning to update AeroGlassGUI.exe, Big Muscle? That would be very cool. -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is nothing I could change. I don't see how this could be a change/bug in RS1 considering the previous 1.4.5 build colors the windows fine and exactly the way it was on TH2, the only problem I was able to observe on the older build on RS1 was it's inability to use the new symbols and artefacts when blur was enabled. As for the slider registry values, I was able to correct this problem by adding a couple of registry entries. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization] "PersonalColors_Background"="#000000" "PersonalColors_Accent"="#" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization] "PersonalColors_Background"="#000000" "PersonalColors_Accent"="#" This was an old group policy that you can still change but it is no longer fully supported and the accent color setting doesn't change to the value you set, it does however change the color of the tiles to whatever color you chose in settings and then allows you to go to the old personalization color and use the slider and colors to change the border color and transparency. Now if I am able to do this with the old build then surely it's possible to do it in the new build, to me the old build seems way less broken then this new build, also maybe you can find out exactly why this triggers the slider registry values to be respected by enabling this group policy and add it to aeroglass, or maybe your just not up to the task any more or have lost interest in supporting this project and have decided to take the "it's good enough" approach.
