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.

    • FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 by Razvan Serea FotoSketcher Studio is a free creative tool that instantly turns your photos into artwork. With just a few clicks, you can apply styles like pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, ink drawings, cartoons, and abstract effects. Powerful yet simple sliders let you adjust every detail to match your vision, from subtle enhancements to bold artistic transformations. You can also improve your images with tools for contrast, sharpness, color, and brightness, plus add frames and text. It supports JPEG, PNG (including transparency), BMP, and WebP formats for both opening and exporting. Available for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), FotoSketcher also offers batch processing, manual retouching, and custom effects for advanced users. Completely free, including commercial use, with no ads or spyware. FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 changelog: New LUTs effect In the Photo Lab category you will find a new LUTs (Lookup Tables) effect for custom colour grading. It comes with 18 presets built right into the application (Cinematic, Kodachrome, Golden hour, Portrait and more), each with a live preview so you can see the look before applying it. Right-click the preview to compare with your original image. And if you have your own .cube files, you can load those from disk too. New "Stylize" category Added a brand-new Stylize category with four new effects. Three of them (Mosaic, Circles and Triangles) are built on the same space-filling idea, turning your photo into tiled mosaics, clusters of circles, or a low-poly triangle look. The fourth, Cartoon, is a bit different: it gives a clean graphic style with defined lines and solid colours. A little tip - set the colour intensity to 0 and Cartoon draws a pure outline drawing with no fill. Combined with the "Do not erase background" option, you can run it on top of any other effect to add crisp contours in two quick steps. Auto-Enhance and Full Reset Two small but handy additions. Auto-Enhance (just press E) tries to optimise your source photo - exposure, white balance, local contrast - for a 'dehazed', natural-looking starting point. And Full Reset clears everything back to a clean slate in one step (working image, history, LUT, script, brushes and sliders) without having to close and reopen the program. Press Ctrl+Shift+N, or right-click the exit button. Scripts The script engine has been updated to support all the new effects, with a few new commands and improved help. If you would like some inspiration, the recent scripting tutorial on this blog walks through several ready-made example scripts. The usual improvements The interface now uses new colour accents for better readability, the history gallery has had a few tweaks, and you can now open .webp images directly. On top of that, this release includes some performance improvements and a good number of bug fixes.
