Features:

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. :)

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.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By Zeromus2003 · Posted

      Not sure there is good value here.... the only real choice is 2GB w/ Controller since 1. 512GB would disappear fast based on today's PC game installs 2. Controller is back ordered until 2027. The appeal of playing PC games on TV (along with PS5) sounds interesting, but I am not too lazy to fire up the huge PC either. Not really sure this would be "worth" it.

      Because we were never offered a UFC game to review it in the past. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy, the reviewer does not even live in the U.S. and didn't ask for it.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
