THIS IS FOR ADVANCED TESTERS ONLY!

Release info here: [link]

Before I begin, I'll let you know right now, I'm not the developer of the program. The developer is "bigmuscle". I only linked his forum and info about the program here, so people in deviantART can be informed and have the opportunity to test it.

--------How do I use this?--------

WARNING: Any damage done to your system is not mine or bigmuscle's responsibility, take caution when using this program as it's currently an unstable build.

You first MUST be running a Windows 8. Supports x86 and x64 builds!

  1. Download the DWMHook (Release Candidate 1) here: [link]
        Extract the 7z archive and place in C:\DWM. If it doesn't exist, create it.        
      
    2. Open LoadGlass_AppInit_DLLs.reg.

        I highly recommend making a restore point since this build uses a registry script rather than an .exe file. Read the README.txt for more info.
        
As always, EXPECT BUGS!

If you find a bug, or the program crashes, send your feedback and/or crash.log to bigmuscle at the MSFN thread, doing so will help improve this project.

---------Info from bigmuscle for this current build---------

What's new:

* fixed hook return values on x64
* fixed compatibility with old 64-bit udwm.dll
* fixed exception handler when settings loading crashes
* fixed crash when removing D3D device
* do not generate occlusion for border-less windows
* fixed bug when source box does not fit into screen height in CopySubresourceRegion
* produce minidump on crash instead of crashlog



Happy Testing! Please share this, so more people are informed of the project!

Does this not work with UltraUXThemePatcher patched Windows 8? I've double checked and edited the registry file to the right path, ran it like 3 time now and I just cannot get this to work. I even went into regedit and made sure the keys were updated. I saw your beta about like 20 minutes after rebooting, but the transparency is just not working. I tried to play with the color settings but no matter the settings transparency still does not work. Please help!

I'm not the developer, even though the development is now closed beta, the forum is still open for troubleshooting and other help topics. I'll add the link here just to make things easy. [link]

Well that's stupid to close the development!

I don't agree with it either, but it's his software, and it was very rude for the person to crack the software, so I don't blame him.

what do you mean with "A PERSON CRACKING THE SOFTWARE" ?

The person cracked the software because he found it annoying that every hour a dialog from the program would pop-up warning about how the software is not intended for normal usage. As a result the dev closed the public beta, and decided to develop it and test it among a few people.

I see ,that pop up window is not only annoying ,it is useless also since it discourage people from testing the app and finding eventual bugs.
anyway I am using the last beta and it works just fine ,I don't think it can get any better :) (I couldn't figure out how to disable the pop up though)
