ShaderGlass news & patch notes

• workaround for browser video blanking out when inactive
• fix for moving mouse to top or left screen edges showing cursor

• allow hardware transforms in device capture (less lag, more fps)
• fix Pixel Size not saving with device profiles
• ignore bad capture devices/formats

New major release of ShaderGlass. Changes since v1.1.4:

• device capture input (webcam/capture card) - apply shaders over webcam or another PC/console using a USB capture card

• improved "Capture Cursor" function now attempting to hide the original mouse cursor

• ability to edit global hotkeys

• new global hotkeys: Capture Cursor, Shader Active, Toggle Menu (also in fullscreen!)

• added Sonkun's presets and shader library update

• minor QoL tweaks and fixes

If you're having issues with the new version, you can switch to 1.1 branch using Steam Betas.

Changes in v1.1.5 beta plus:

• ability to edit global hotkeys

• new global hotkey: Capture Cursor on/off

• new global hotkey: Shader Active on/off

• new global hotkey: Toggle Menu (allows bringing up menu even in fullscreen)

• add Pixel Size slider and Parameters button to Shader Browser window

• fix for dialog windows so they don't get covered behind main window

Not planning any more bigger changes for now, this will likely become v1.2 stable

Thank you for testing & feedback, much appreciated!

To try the new beta, switch Steam to "beta" branch (right-click in Steam library, Properties -> Betas -> Beta Participation).

New beta introducing two new features:

• device capture input (webcam/capture card) - apply shaders on top of webcam or another PC/console using a USB capture card

• when "Capture Cursor" is enabled in Glass mode, original mouse cursor will be hidden

Testing and feedback would be most appreciated - especially mouse cursor hiding has been tough since it requires full mouse emulation, extraction of pointer images, including those new colorful ones, DPI scaling etc. 😵‍💫 There might be cases where it won't apply but hopefully should be good enough.

To try the new beta, switch Steam to "beta" branch (right-click in Steam library, Properties -> Betas -> Beta Participation).

Minor bugfix release:

• fix high-refresh capture (removes 65fps limit) - make sure to enable "Max Capture Rate" in "Processing -> Advanced" menu and restart ShaderGlass if you have a >60 Hz monitor

Minor bugfix release:

• fix input alignment when using multiple monitors with different DPIs

• fix saving of changes to preset overrides in profile files

• show .gifs in input load dialog

• remove obsolete "x" shortcut key

• fix mirror/repeat stages (adds bezel reflections on koko-aio)
