Hello friends,

I am using the glass effect.

<GLASS>
    <Data Enabled="1" />
</GLASS>

This effect has an error.

See the edges of the image below. The effect goes beyond the skin. Why?



All skins (glass effect) has error. The error appears in versions 17, 18 and 19 (I tested these versions).

I need to set the "video card"?

Win 7 32 bits.
Intel(R) HD Graphics  (1272092 KB)

Hugs,

We tested Noire Glass here on Windows 7 and can't reproduce this.

However, Aero Glass is no longer supported on Windows 8, so it's unlikely we'll do any work here or use glass for any future skins.

I think its caused by a custom Windows skin or patch. I've seen something similar.

Are you using something like Universal Theme Patcher to use custom windows 7 themes? I'm pretty sure that would be causing this.

Was it actually removed from Windows 8, or just not a part of the default theme?

I see that you use your own "glass" effect for things like tooltips inside Media Center, so perhaps it would be best to use this on the window frame (if possible) to avoid breaking skins?

On Windows 8, the glass APIs return success codes and do nothing.

It was a tacky move by Microsoft in my opinion.  It's fine if they want to opt-out in their programs, but why break an API they had been pushing developers to adopt?

Matt, windows 7 is going to be around a LONG time. I don't see 8 with a better future than vista, in any case, worse. As a customer I would ask you to keep the glass option open.

I use Universal Theme Patcher.

I'll disable the glass effect.

Thank you all.
