[preview] Sprintwindow Demo :)

Okay, I worked on another API in the SPrintWindow library.

The API is named: SPrintWindowGetDIB().

Yes, this is what you are thinking. This API returns you the DIRECT DIB pointer of a layered window. it DOESN'T copy the window into a buffer, it returns the REAL buffer used by the system to draw the window.

With this I modified a little app I made when I was starting expire to use the new API. And I believe the result is pretty cool

Of course it's still compatible with 2K/XP/2K3

Grab the file !!!

Damn... that's nice.

Holy Moly.

Siwu gets my recommendation for a developers gold medal.

And my personal thanks for not involving the .Net runtime, of course.

For us that are on 56k and don't want to spend half an hour downloading..

Could we have a shot or description or a hint? Even a cryptic hint..? Please..?

Actually this a video showing a 3d object representing a firefox window with a flash animation in it, all in real time. Kind of longhorn

OO this looks good. I cant wait for this app to get out of beta, its going to ROCK!

#203069

Oooh, I'm out of words..... Sooo cool!

#203072

Gives me the chills, I can't wait to intract with this in person

@siwu, will this handle video, such as wmp? could we possibly see this api implemented in the next release beta of expire? or will the incorporation of this be further into the future?

Your guy's work's truly inspirational.

best regards,

How come all your previews have an ugly blue wallpaper in the background? Why not put a nicer color in there like purple or a light green? Or at least reduce the hue / saturation of the blue color, it hurts my eyes. Other then that: fuwagaklacoba, that looks really nice.

But if that impresses you,

take a look at Project Looking Glass from sun. The first time I saw that demo,

I was was truely I M P R E S S E D :woot:

Any body familliar with that? I especially love the 3D categories.

I this the future of desktops? Will this be in Longhorn?

No way, seems about as usable as a chocolate teapot

Well, I myself think future desktop will kinda like that.

However, I do think Longhorn can do this kind of thing, with the help of the DWM

3d windows that update in real time ARE the future in OS'. This way you can do whatever effect you want to the window like expose, genie, etc. while having the window still useable, like OSX. :rock:
