DWMBlurGlass keeps on crashing DWM.

[Milicent-Heeler]

Describe the bug

A clear and concise description of what the bug does is: it places the x button on top of the maximize button, it moves the maximize button to the middle of the titlebar, then it moves the minimize button, then you cannot close the current app you are in, then it crashes DWM and then shows an error message.

Description ....

To Reproduce

Enable the small titlebar buttons, enable the glow effect for the titlebar buttons, make sure in advanced you have aero instead of blur.

Additional information:

OS Version : [Windows 11 23H2]
Software Version : [DWMBlurGlass 2.3.0]

It would be really helpful if someone finds a solution. Thanks.

Also, this only seems to happen with DWMBlurGlass 2.3.0. I have never had it happen in DWMBlurGlass 2.2.0, so I will be using DWMBlurGlass 2.2.0 for now.

2.3.0 will generate a dmp on crash.
Check the data\dumps directory and provide us with the error dump dmp file if it was generated.

There is no dump folder for me and I don't want to check again because I have just downloaded DWMBlurGLass 2.2.0. Also, it only happens on DWMBlurGlass 2.3.0.

I would love to get this issue fixed since I like the glow effect when you hover over the maximize, minimize and x button.

Please reply back. Thanks.

If there is no dump file, this issue may not be fixed soon and we need to reproduce and find the cause.
You can also try the beta glow effect from 2.2.0, but it may also have issues.

To Reproduce it: Make sure you have win1123H2.

Enable the small titlebar buttons, enable the glow effect for the titlebar buttons, make sure in advanced you have aero instead of blur.

It may not reproduce the DWM crashing, but for me it did crash.

Also, how did you get the always red X button?

[Milicent-Heeler]

Maybe its because you refactors most of the code in 2.3.0?
