As for the "Glass Borders", I've been able to make this work on a GeForce4 mx440 a few days ago, so this is a little bit old news.

DWM effects with Glass Borders

But for the rest of it, nice work. :)

Getting the glass borders to work in 4074 on an MX440 is different because of the UCE and the way DWM works in that build. The mesh files *need* a DX 9 GPU unless you can get them to work on your MX440 as well which I would like to hear about. Please inform us if you can get the glass object with wind.jpg to work with an MX440.

Dude, that's just a transparent PNG :p You need DX9 gpu to render transparent PNG's? Nope.

As banana said, try getting the glass meshes to work on that gf4mx440 :).

I think MS is onto something with this way of visually organizing files.

I would <B>LOVE</B> to be able to use such a system built into the OS. Doing research in University, the amounts of documents and organization become overcoming sometimes.

jesus christ you guys, this is so easy, open up the files mess around a bit. dont make someone (like me) have to show you what ot do with them.

extract all files to a folder then go into the GLASS folder

click on effectedit.exe

program should open, go to file-open and choose any of those .fx files

the last one is the best

get your mouse to move the 3d object

after your done playin around and mesmerizing them, go to the meshfolder and do basically the same thing. open up the files and mess around.

about the skyevnmap, i have seen it somehwere else and it used to work with xp. but on this rar that they released it doesnt work. in xp OR longhorn 4074. neither does the 3d screensaver. i guess im doing something wrong there. someone could elaborate i guess.

and to the question that was asked ealier. this works in XP and LOnghorn. just a lil more tricky to work in longhorn (lower FPS and "open" issues.)

      No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.

    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
