"So I download it, extract to C:\WDM"

I take it thats just a typo? As it should be C:\DWM

No black screen here, but I do not get the configuration window shown above, all I get is this...



PC froze for a bit when I went to the start screen to launch the sniping tool.

Those two last lines about aero glass being loaded were not there before the freeze.

I just tried to run it in 8 Enterprise x64 in VMWare and Windows told me the program could not be run on this machine, or the machine did not support the program, something along those lines

Maybe VMWare drivers are not supported


There is a changelog for version 0.3, maybe this broke it

Info from Big Muscle for this current build.

What's new:
* removed dependency on C:\DWM folder
* loop for layered windows chained into DWM main window's timer
* set lower interval for setting layered windows
* fixed crash for application which do not like WS_EX_LAYERED to be set too early (e.g. Windows Paint)
* fixed a few memory leaks
* added temporary workaround for iTunes (it will be removed in the future!!!)
* added some new EXPERIMENTAL registry settings:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM (no user-specific settings now!)
DisableDebugLog (DWORD) = when set to 1, it disables logging to file. NOT RECOMMENDED!!!

ForceBoundingRectangleRedraw (DWORD) = when set to 1, layered windows technique will be disabled completely. Instead of it, it tries to repaint whole bounding rectangle of the window texture (with respect to clipping area). This settings is for users who don't like layered windows but I don't recommend to use it at all, because it has not been tested much, you won't see totally obscured objects in transparent area and it brings a lot of redraw glitches (so do not complain about them)!!!

It's painfully slow mate, hence the mirror.

Yeah it was a typo, I meant DWM
Im back on desktop now after sys restore, but ive lost LOADS of oblytile customisation i did last night (which took forever).
As soon as i started the exe, i instantly got a black screen with the clock and date on the bottom left.

I want to undo the restore but I think itll probably just do the same thing.
I waited for about 15 minutes so I know the problem isnt that I didnt wait long enough.

edit:
Figured to hell with it, if it breaks i know i can restore so I tried it again, got the black screen but this time it came straight back again and i got the cmd window you showed.
Something must have been wrong the first time.

If people want their Aero and Start Menu back why don't they simply stay with Windows 7?

Because those were not the only changes in 8? I love Start Screen and don't use any start menu replacement. But I loved the transparency look, so I am trying this. Options are not a bad thing. And customization of theme has been here for a long time, it's not a new phenomenon.

Really?

Work it out man, it's not ****ing hard, and has been answered a million times.

I'm pretty sure you are aware of that, therefore, I can only conclude that you're trollin'.

If people want Aero and a Start menu, why did they upgrade from Vista to 7 ?

Just realised it causes TweetDeck 0.38.2 to not work.

Total deal breaker
