"jelly" windows are looking a lil stiff lol

1. Hard to capture ;(

2. Hard to code :( (for some reason there aren't many programs like such - to be precise AFAIK 2 on Windows with Nimi counted, while Nimi is free and works on Vista & W7(reported))

3. Will be better in 3.0 version -for which I need time to write all algorithms...I'm studying & working in the same time as well right? :D

maybe have a look at the code they use on linux, you might be able to apply some of it to your app

[Manuroc]

Yeah, Compiz Fusion's code could certainly be useful...

Nah that's not problem - coding is actually easy, but You need front end for that: both graphic server and proper api possibilites. In other words problem itself lies in how on screen painting is handled and how Windows api looks & works (for what we can say I'm expert and could write a book on that)

By the way, I'm unable to install on Win7 x64 build 7048. Is it not supported? I get the license agreement and then no windows appear. Process seems inactive in task manager.

Check if You got settings file in AppData\Nimi\settings.dat with "alp|1" - also try running in compatibility mode if anything don't help. You see - as W7 is still beta there might occur random system bugs and .NET issues, depending on used build etc. Believe me I've gone through W7 error reports before releasing 0.7 version :D (in old version count, previous version)

[Manuroc]

Settings file has "alc|1"

Changing it to alp made the license agreement appear again, but still doesn't move past that point. Using compability mode doesn't seem to work either...

[Yorak]

Looks really nice, but I hope it is just the video making it that jerky/laggish.

Alc alp - something like that....hmmm

Do You have icon in tray?

Feel free try by Yourself - You have nothing to lose, and still jelly windows isn't most representative effect - for example I like picture board and new contrastful windows :D

I am a ro bot

[Manuroc]

Oh great. I didn't realize that it was simply running in the tray. Damn Windows 7 automatically hiding tray icons!

Still... now that I have the effects window up, none of the effects seems to activate once I check the boxes.

Thank You for talking part in discussion :] Still advertisment brings focus and positive emotions :p

Did You close options window? If so program restart might help.

Btw, I still claim that I will use W7 if I get it for free for a lifetime ;P

I think he loves advertisement :p

Does this work on XP? Cause the app isn't doing anything on this end.

[SamiWiecieKto]

Yes it works - check if You have .NET 3.5 installed, in tray there should be program icon - double click it for settings menu. Remember that effects apply after options menu close. :D

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

Didnt know Steven Hawking had a sister

other then that it looked interesting, but a bit choppy with the jelly effect if thats what it was

[XerXis]

that totally crashed my dwm ;)

[Ambroos]

Next time I hope you can do the vocals in your videos yourself :D Microsoft Mary (or at least she's family of her) isn't very good at English :p (not at any language actually)

hmm I like Hawkings - He surely has brilliant mind.

Believe me - it still great achievement for just one person developing and such short amount of time - overall look & feel. Elsewhere we would have dozens of such applications - but so far Nimi Visuals(formerly Nimi, before Tophaz) is only one free out there: and there is only one commercial software that we could possibly consider for being in same software group.

And as I always say: it can only get better! :)

P.s. Thank You for trying :D

that totally crashed my dwm ;)

Happens with some themes sometimes - I always ignored this xD (still DWM crashed, restared and everything worked fine xD... I just love developing for this platform xD)
