We’ve been working on a new product for quite some time and we would like to present it to you on this fine day. Also, we’d like
to quit work and drink cocktails on a tropical island for the rest of our lives. Anyway, this is all not going to happen. Or at least, not today.
Don’t worry though, we’ve heard your requests for a SevenGlazz, and we’re proud to present VistaGlazz 2! We’re emotionally attached to the old name
The new VistaGlazz supports the KB971029 update, but also enables style customization for Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 (both 32 and 64 bit)!
Download VistaGlazz 2.0 now
You can install VistaGlazz 2.0 over your old VistaGlazz installation, without unpatching first.
I went through the forums and noticed
a post by UK.Intel regarding the text color and glow in full screen glass mode. How I missed that post we might never know, but I decided to add it to VistaGlazz two weeks ago to see if it would work. It didn’t. For some reason the addresses seemed to be off by a few bytes, not sure why. Anyway, using the screen shots I was able to retrieve the correct addresses and the patch works marvelously on my Vista x64 SP2 system and on my virtual Vista32 SP1. UK.Intel: Thank you for your post!
Meanwhile Yvo improved the diagnostic screen by adding auto repair functionality to fix the most common of VG related problems. He also managed to fix some minor general UI and reboot screen glitches.

Yesterday we’ve finished updating the VistaGlazz patch core and it is now SP2 compatible. Normally that would be a very minor change, but we’ve decided to implement some long overdue upgrades to the patch process. I’m quite happy with the result, I might add.
We currently have an untested SP2 compatible version that *should* work, but given the past, eh, “issues” with our beta versions, we won’t release a beta this time. Next couple of days we’ll spend on testing the core application to make sure it will work without a hitch.
Besides the patch part of the application there are also some other things that need our attention. Yvo wants some minor UI modifications done and apparently some people are having a problem where VistaGlazz keeps asking to reboot the system. I’m not sure what the current status on that problem is, but it will have to be sorted out. Also, we might add some things from the feature request forum, please check again in a few days for new developments or subscribe to our RSS feed.
Update 30/05/2009
We’re finishing up the last tids and bits on the SP2 release. We’d love to bring you the new release as soon as possible, but hey we love your systems too and we wouldn’t want something to go wrong with it. Among SP2 support we’ve added speedier startup and hopefully no more endless reboot screens. I expect to release the new version on monday, but I’m not making any promises :) - Yvo
Update 31/05/2009
As knowledge is power, this update should add to your wisdom :). I’ve been firing up the VMs and things are looking quite good. I’m still having some problems with Vista SP2 x86, but I expect them to be resolved quite soon. Tomorrow might be a good day. - Yvo
We are pleased to announce the release of PixelCryptor 1.2! The new version now codes in record time and uses much less memory than its predecessor. For a complete overview of all changes, please visit the download page. Be aware that the version currently offered on Download.com is still 1.1, since the new version is yet to be processed by them. Version 1.2 can be downloaded directly from our site using this link.
Yvo was away on holiday and I have been busy working on a major software release at work. Yvo will be back somewhere this morning and my software was released yesterday. What does this all mean? Well, we’ll be here to finally reply to some forum posts and blog comments. I’m leaving in a few minutes on a small family trip, but will be back in the afternoon, Yvo might want to grab some sleep first (he’s been flying through the night), but you can expect to see some replies today.
Yvo is currently working, or rather, he was before he left, on the setup of the new VistaGlazz. I’ll be working on the problems some of you guys apparently had.
