"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

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)

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...

Alc alp - something like that....hmmm

Do You have icon in tray?

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

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

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

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.

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

Didnt know Steven Hawking had a sister

hmm I like Hawkings - He surely has brilliant mind.

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

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)

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)

rotfl ;P

    • Just when I thought EA couldn't go lower. They surpassed my expectations
    • The GEEKOM A8 mini PC is 20% off (lower than Prime Day pricing) plus Huge Storewide Sale by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a deal on a variant of its A8 Mini PC powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 8945HS, which came out in 2024 with a TDP of just 45W, with a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a Turbo Boost of 4.9 GHz; although we never reviewed this variant, we did check out the Ryzen 9 version. As a reminder of what you get, below are the specifications for this Mini PC. GEEKOM A8 Dimensions 112.4 mm x 112.4 mm x 37 mm Weight 450g CPU Ryzen 7 8745HS (8 cores, 16 threads, 16MB L3 cache, 3.8 - 4.9 GHz, TDP: 45 W) cTDP: 35-54W (Default 45W) Graphics AMD Radeon™ 780M Graphics 12 RDNA 3 Graphics Cores 2700MHz 768 shading units / stream processors (12 CUs), 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU XDNA architecture (Up to 16 NPU TOPS) Memory 16GB Dual-channel Crucial DDR5-5600MT/s SODIMM (up to 64GB) Storage 1TB NVMe M.2 (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4) Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth v5.2 Wireless LAN Wi-Fi 6E Kensington Lock No SD Card reader Yes (left side) Adapter 120W, 6.32A, 19V Power Adapter Front I/O Ports 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x 3.5mm front stereo headset jack Rear I/O Ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x USB 4 Gen 3 Type-C with Power delivery up to 15W (5V 3A) 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A 2 x HDMI 2.0b 1 x 2.5G RJ45 LAN 1 x DC-in Deal Price $519 (buying links below) GEEKOM has two configurations of the A8, with the only difference being the slightly less-powerful Ryzen 7 CPU with half the storage (1TB) and DDR5 memory (16GB). This knocks $350 off the price compared to the $999 Ryzen 9 configuration. In both instances, a Windows 11 Pro license is also pre-loaded. As I said previously, this appears to be an update on the A7 with the only difference being the newer CPU. The packaging has changed quite a bit from the A7. Instead of dark colors, now the box is completely white, and the foam cushion has been replaced by a cardboard mould that the A8 sits in, above a small envelope that contains a thank you card and booklet that has guidance on all of the controls, how to access the A8 to swap out the SSD or memory, and safety information in several European languages. Upon removing the cardboard mould, you can find another cardboard compartment that contains the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA plate, and a bag of screws. What’s In The Box 1 x A8 Mini PC 1 x Power Adapter 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x VESA plate and bag of screws 1 x Envelope with booklet and Thank you card Unlike the A7, the VESA mount option is back with the A8.
