Can you fix the link? Because When I click download, i wait for another download button to appear, then I click it. Then theres an error. So I can't download 2.0. But I do have 1.2.1

Here are the new screenshots:)

The link was down because JackHard updated his latest version. So go and try the new build. :)

*Link Updated*

It looks good, but it's unusable.

- The window caption is a weird smudge.

- When I open a new window it has an epileptic fit (sorta vibrates - I have fade in/out disabled).

- Loses vital functionality such as being able to resize the window. Maximizing was really jumpy too.

- The window kinda slides around.. When I drag it with the mouse and then stop, it carries on for a little bit and then comes back, like it's on a piece of string.

- The blur doesn't update. It blurs whatever is behind it when the window opens, and then it keeps that blur no matter where you move it.

I have a winamp skin with glass effect that works flawlessly so I'm not sure if it's the blur effect that's causing it or if the program is just buggy :unsure:

I can't get it to work.

I open it and it takes 5 minutes to load up. Then it doesn't even do anything. It just sits in the taskbar and I'll change settings around and it'll sit there another 5 minutes and does nothing.

I pretty much had the same sad experience. Oh well.

If anyone has version 2.0, please upload to rogehost.com, because its free and you don't need to sign up. then after you upload the file, copy the download link they give you, then paste it here.

and remember: upload all the files for vystal, not just the program itself, or upload the .rar or .zip file.

Just to update the bug report, as well as everything I mentioned before, I've noticed that:

- The blur DOES update, but only when I let go of the titlebar. It doesn't update as I'm dragging the window around.

- Clicking on the titlebar makes the taskbar button disappear and reappear, and double clicking will not maximize.

- The flickering is unbearable. It's not a regular flicker, it looks more like the window is having a spasm.

    • You could disable this "functionality/feature/whatever" with 2 registry keys, ages ago.
    • My Photos app is version 2026.11050.1001.0 and it remembers the window size and position. My Snipping Tool is version 11.2602.49.0 and it can capture the taskbar.

    • On xiaomi hyperos there's also an option to disable google assistant. I've got everything disabled. Only thing I do have installed is a web wrapped for duck.ai which claims to let you use various AIs anonymously
    • I need to understand the rationale of not shipping all of these K2 improvements in a single update/release. It's giving "we will fix Windows 11 but no commitments". It seems to me that they just announce these improvements just to appease the community.
