NOTE: Make sure you run as admin!

NOTE 2: The Glass has no exception handler yet. If you dont have DWM Enabled, run this with /noglass at cmd prompt!

YAY!!! It's done Now! I will be publishing my Dev Log for it (and maybe the code...) later. I hope you enjoy it, and feel free to report bugs/ask questions.

Omnicoder, I am running vista screensaver on winXP SP2 and they are working fine, the only problem are the configuration have to be done manually. I noticed you have an applet that works on Vista. Do you think you could make some adjustments that would make it work on XP also? I have tried the /noglass option and it did not work. There was an error from .Net Framework about "Unhandled exception" "Attempted to read or write protected memory". Thank you.

HUGE Memory leak.

My computer froze when running this app. I had to force a reboot which I haven't done in years. I opened the task manager to see what was going on when I ran it a second time. My physical memory went from 34% to 99% then froze again.

System Specs:

Windows Vista Ultimate x64

4GB RAM

AMD Athlon 64 FX-60

Other specs are irrelevant.

Same here. My system froze up tight. Same system specs except Intel instead of AMD. Is this a 64-bit thing? Is this app only good on 32-bit Windows?

    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

    • Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.
    • And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
