Great job, siwuzz, this was very inspirational.

We wanted to port this hack to Windows 7, but Windows Vista's DWM used the DirectX 9 Tech. Windows 7 uses DirectX 10.1 and is a whole bunch harder to hack.

We are in the middle of the reverse engineering of the Windows 7 DWM.

We just uploaded a first pre-pre-alpha demo vid.

@ArtificialMindFreak nice work indeed, however, how did you manage to do the link between HWND and D3D textures? Also, the borders of the window are available as textures (if you look closely, they are allocated before the client one).

as you can see dwm isnt a virus its your display and what your looking at dont delete it

@lolnameless

That's exactly what it is.

implying modifying the source code is hacking

@TherapudicCaffeine Manages the window effects. It is however slower than it's alphas in Longhorn.

Very cool. What exactly is DWM? I've heard about it a little, but not much.
