    yeah, it is possible to crash everywhere. This version is just to show that blur is possible. Anyway, in case of any crash, please post C:\DWM\debug.log and C:\DWM\crashlog.txt.

    Currently only x64. 32-bit version will come later.

    If it does not work for you and no debug log is created then check:
    a) you have the latest version (currently 0.1c)
    b) you extracted it into C:\DWM (it won't work in different folder and will crash immediately)
    c) you have debugging c++ runtime installed on your computer

    thanks - it works for me now - i had it in the wrong dir - must have missed the instruction to put it in C:\DWM

    it closes as i close the cmd box which i assume is correct - but i like what its doing so far

    Nope, new ways to achieve this glass-effect appeared.

    @bigmuscle, Just tested, but it's really buggy for me?
    I'd take a screenshot but Ctrl+PrintScreen, or Win+Prt screen causes the windows to redraw properly for the screenshot o_O

    edit: Here , 385365_10151440725469740_1488826147_n.jpg

    edit: Also if you have WinaeroGlass.exe running when u run DWMLoader it'll throw a bluescreen. Kinda obvious though.

    It does work though, the results look something like this when it's not buggy...

    *Sigh* Of course it's buggy! It's in a sort of pre-alpha state. bigmuscle himself said that he did not optimise anything and that there is still much things to be done. Those glitches are only to be expected. :rolleyes:

    Far from it: it's not even Beta as yet. The developer also wants to add additional features before releasing the final version, if I recall correctly. Be patient, young grasshopper.

    I do not understand a word in that chinese forum, neither google translator does, but I have not discussed anything with any taiwan guy. I was only asking author of "Windows 7 DWM Hack" for some advices about DWM injection (but I think he is from Germany and not Taiwan).
