I've been starting to use the new inbuilt Ribbon controls in Delphi 2009 and use the custom frame so the Application button and Mini-toolbar slide up onto the Window Frame, but I'm wondering if on Vista it should use the glass effect like Office 2007 does, and if so how I would enable this setting. Thanks for any help. ...
Update see Using Blur Behind on Windows for an example of using Qt and DWM. Original question: I want to create a Windows Aero Glass window with Qt, now it looks like this: But after calling some my_window->repaint() my window's label becomes broken: But now if I resize the window slightly, it repaints properly. The question ...
I am developing a winforms MDI application in C# in VS 2008. I have noticed that the MDI forms don't have the glass look under Vista. Is this by design? Is there a simple way to get the glass look for these windows? ...
I am writing an application in WPF and I would like to have the top of the application fade from a color to Aero glass like the new Office 2010 applications do (screen shots). Really it will be fading the area just below the title bar from glass to a color. (I think that maybe a better way to describe it). ...

The color is correct when the window is restored: But is the wrong color when the window is maximized: How do you get the active ActionCaptionText?

I am trying to use the DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea method on an mdiparent. IsMdiContainer = true; However the glass does not render correctly. Is this a limitation of an mdiparent I can get around? If the form isn't set as an mdicontainer then the glass renders perfectly. The glass area paints white instead of with glass. ...
Hi, I wrote an attached property that I can set on a window to extend the glass frame into the client area (using the DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea API). It works fine in most cases. Now I want my window to be borderless, so I set the following attributes on my window : WindowStyle="None" ResizeMode="NoResize" Background="Tr...
I'm using DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea in my WPF application to get the glass effect. This is working fine. What I'd like to do is change the colour used for the glass -- I'm writing a countdown timer, and I'd like the window to be the normal glass colour most of the time, and then to go red (but still with glass) when the time runs out....
Creating Glass window is as easy as calling DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea in WPF, but that is only half of the trick. If you disable aero, and get the XP-like skin thats where the pain begins: In XP (or disabled aero) you must call DrawThemeBackground in order to get "transparent like feel", Internet explorer does this too on its top, tr...
Normal border glass is nice, but how can I do the second type of transparency like middle part in the window with the list of gadgets? And what about white light on the back of text? ...
I am really interested in GLASS. The 4GB limit for the free version has me concerned. Especially when I consider the price for the next level ($7000 year). I know this can be subjective and variable, but can someone describe for me in everyday terms what 4 GB of GLASS will get you? Maybe a business example. 4 GB may get me more sto...
Is this possible? I really want to make my wxPython program (since they only work on windows) use the glass theme. Also, if it's possible, is there a way to make dialogs that look like those new ones in Vista without coding much custom content? ...

Is there any simple way to display the icon for my iphone apps on my webpage the same way they look in the appstore (i.e. with the glass effect and preferably with reflection)? I have very little experience in web coding so some sample code that I could just copy and paste would be great if this is possible. Thanks for any help. ...

Currently I'm using this code: http://www.developerfusion.com/code/4630/capture-a-screen-shot/ But it doesn't work for minimized windows and the areas where there is a Glass effect since Vista like the explorer title bar are black. Can anyone help me out? My o...

Hi, are there any tutorials, or, is there simple code to be used to control Aeroglass in VB.NET? I would like to know how to play with various effects and, if possible, how to do the Aeroglass effects done in Paint.NET 3.5. (The inside of the topbar is not straight. ...
