I think it's just the fact that the window surfaces are rendered with direct x... and I suppose it doesn't render it with AA sampling on lol. I'm sure it will be fixed though... because it looks really ugly when you try to resize a window too fast.

HappyCar Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 For all those with a crashing DCE, make sure that the display setting are set to 32bit. If that doesnt work try it at a lower resolution. Worked for me on my dodgy RADEON 9200SE 64mb its a bit jerky, but i get the picture :woot: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/164156-4074-dce-dwm-enabled-kinda/page/7/#findComment-2076627 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostdraconi Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Don't know if anyone has noticed this, but if you hold down ALt-Tab between IE Windows you can still navigate the page while the effect is on. Clicking on the image won't help but if you move the mouse off to the side you can see the links and buttons light up.

ClintEastman Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 rocks1985 said: how is that "a nice blur effect under your cursor when you drag and drop"? it looks the same to me as it does in XP. What's different about it? The effect is not on the icon you are dragging but on the desktop underneath, seems like a pixel shader effect. It blurs the desktop, and unless I am loosing my sight the transparent parts of windows does it too ? like the glass demos.

Lexcyn Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 The taskbar "hover" effect you're refering to is just a notification when the window changes... like if you get an MSN message ... and it just looks like that with DWM enabled. I don't know if you get that same effect with it disabled. Not sure. :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/164156-4074-dce-dwm-enabled-kinda/page/7/#findComment-2078034 Share on other sites More sharing options...
