It looks like it doesn't get the backdrop rendered using dx very well, I'll look into it later.

Hi, I think this issue may be relevant to overlapping, I've seen it happen with Wallpaper Engine as well as Discord. See attached video.

Adding to this, YouTube videos also appear completely black under the glass. image What's interesting is that this also occurs with other videos, but not when the content is scrolled far enough down: Scrolled down: image Higher on the page: image

UPDATE: This applies to some video content OS-wide, but it's not always affected by position.

WMP works always, no matter the position. VLC never works, no matter the position. image image

@Dulappy I think I probably know why, video playback or some other software that uses dx rendering triggers something like Direct Flip or Independent Flip, which bypasses DWM and renders directly from the GPU to the display, and I'm not sure what I can do about it. This similar problem also happened to glass8, for example placing the file explorer window on top of Moves & TV, a UWP window, the overlapping part would be rendered as completely transparent.

Moved to #30.
