[20$ competition:] Make a tool to reveal "Pure NON-Aero Basic style" in W8-x

didn't care about 20$ anyway, just interested in tinkering with windows.

i've got back to dwm on + themes as too much gets broken.

madvr only fixes tearing in mpc, every other app or game with videos will still look awful with lots of tearing.

not having a working Open With command is annoying.

and finally i found some software actually relies on dwm being on;

photoshop cc (images show up as a blank window)
some emulators fail in windowed mode (black screen)

 

There is one more:

Is performance or system responsiveness improved with DWM disabled? I am considering doing this for a minimalist Windows 8.1 installation for gaming.

 

How did you get it?

 

First follow POST #17

Then

1.Open Personalization and select High Contrast White theme, then select Color AND LEAVE OPEN FOR NOW.

2.Open Personalization again and select Windows theme, AND CLOSE Personalization.

3.Back to Color (Color and Appearance) and select Save Changes, close Personalization.

 

What is wtf... about ?
Is there a question ?

 

I know, but why ?

 

nope, apart from no dwm process, didn't notice any fps increase.

 

it works but the right side area remains unclickable, any solution to solve this?

 

It is quite the opposite of what you might think. Once you disable DWM you will lose GPU acceleration of the underlying system that essentially provides the user interface. Although it would depend on the system. Faster CPUs would help in this case as it would rely more on that.

 

What does this replacement twinui do?
