GDI++ , font smoothing...

You have to get all those dlls too. Wait, I'll upload my version here...

Brilliant, thanks a lot for that! Your version works fine. :)

@Bapestar, it looks fine. Only that forums text was looking slightly weird.

#495469

Great setup Ojalord. Thank you so much for your efforts :)

#495680

This is brilliant! Thanks so much for your work, Oja. Been looking for something like this forever.

Finally, Firefox looks almost as good as safari...

@Jubal, this app is not my creation. I've only made a setup of it so it's easily configured and installed. lol

#495904

Yeah, not sure if I could have gotten it working otherwise.

#495918

Ojalord, thanks for the setup! Amazing tool.. seems like it has little to no impact on performance and makes Windows look way better.

You dont have to replace anything in your system folder. All you do is just download gdi (not the latest) and run gditray.exe and then enable it.

Nobody mentioned anything about replacing dlls in the system folder...The dlls (freetype, etc) need to be in the same folder as the app.

I'm using this with Vista and just noticed that the start menu only changes when I move my mouse over and then it goes back to normal as if I'm not using GDI.

#504580

It's not built for Vista methinks.

#504615

Hey, thanks very much for the setup!

This is really working great here :)

It even makes my Firefox2 Safari-look look really perfect! (see screenshot)

Now I still need to configure my Objectbar, because the font looks a little distorted now :P lol

Thx again!

Thank you Ojalord for the setup for the GDI++ app and for post your .ini file, looks great on my Windows Server 2008 :)

#507078

Thank you Ojalord. Really appreciated it.

But there seems to be a problem, everytime I click on a shortcut, a error appears saying zlib1 is not found, but the program still opens. Is there a reason for this? It only happens if i enable GDI.

Here is my screenshot.

Windows Vista 6.00.6001 Service Pack 1

Screen: 1680 x 1050 x 32 bpp

GDI++.DLL Version 8.0.2007.0927

I got it to work with Explorer and Photoshot and Flock, some other apps are working as well. However it doesn't affect everything, like utorrent isn't working ect. Also titlebars aren't working, same with the startmenu.

Does anyone know how to make it affect everything? And also KAWSquared, your font is a lot smoother than mine. Could I ask how you managed that?

#509911

I'm on XP. Therefore it works correctly with mine.

Also, as a deskmodder, I have access to all the best fonts anyways.

#509916

LOL, I've thought of switching back to XP many times but I don't think I'll ever do it. Anyone know how to fix the title bar on Vista?

#509919

My title bar is fine <_

#509925

Why not just dual boot?

#509932

Why bother?

there aren't enough differences for it to be worthwhile.

Heck, Crysis only gets 3 more fs in every s for me.

#509939

lol at the idea of dual booting just to get gdi++ working correctly.

If Vista is working fine for you, stick with it. Needless to say, this app was intended to work with XP, so you're out of luck if you experience most bugs, I guess.

#509946

Meh, it works fine enough. I'm not dual booting or switching os's just for this program. I'll probably delete later this week anyways.

#509947

I can't get the program to work..

It always says "could not load gdi++.dll"

I tried running it on my F drive, then on my C drive, and it will not work either way..

#510054

It also works here on Vista :) yay!
