Hehe been using it for a few days, even as an alpha build I love it.

The shadows really are fast(usable shadows,yay :)) but right now the minimizing and maxamizing effects are still quite sloooooow hehe, but I'm hoping that will be fixed quickly. If I could I would love to shake the devs hands and complement them on an awesome app :) .

Looks cool... Any chance you will release a downloadable demo/trial anytime soon?

I'd prefer to see the effects on my machine before I purchase software like this.

That'll probably come once NVIDIA sort their drivers out - because you know otherwise people will complain, even if they're told about it. In fact, they'll probably complain even if told to get new drivers, but it makes it easier to ignore. ;-)

damn... this is probably one of those rare occasions where I would say, "damn nvidia, damn"

Looks pretty cool! I hope the shadows aren't as slow as the ones made by that XP shadow service (forget what's its called).

But one thing's for sure: I definetly want this little spiny guy on my desktop:

The shadows created by that XP Shadow service app are very slow and are virtually unusable. MS put shadows into XP for menus only really and using them on windows which resize & move is a bad idea.

The shadows created by WindowFX 2 are very fast and very usable and much more flexible too. The shadows also work on 2000 machines which is useful.

You know you stardock guys/gals need to really start taking screen shots without windowblinds or desktopx or other things going (Just the program you are displaying) or actually write on the screen shot what else you have running. As i find it quite misleading

And when you post on public BB's links with screen shots people may not know you make all the other stuff and asume the program looks like that when really it has been skinned
