I've been using shaderglass for so long, it's an amazing tool just to mess around with and incredibly impressive. And so easy to use. Thank you for putting so much love into a free, open source tool!!
I wonder if its limitation or I am doing something wrong - when I am playing DOS box game and DOS box goes full screen it negates Shader Glass entirely. Is it possible to use it in full screen or I have to play in windowed more? Overall fantastic software!
alt+tab will simlpy go out of full screen and go into small window. As I want to keep playing on entire screen I need to go borderless window - something like @mausimus said. But thanks.
You need to play DOSBox in borderless fullscreen (fullscreen resolution = 0x0), then press Ctrl+Shift+G to put ShaderGlass on top. By default DOSBox runs in exclusive fullscreen and ShaderGlass can't work in this mode.
Also, consider running DOSBox in windowed mode, set Input -> Window in ShaderGlass, click back to DOSBox to give it focus and then do Ctrl+Shift+G - this should make ShaderGlass scale the window into fullscreen.
This works great visually - it does scale up but unless I am missing something after I do Ctrl+Shift+G I am no longer controlling game but rather I am in Shader Glass. And yes, I do bring focus to DOSBox first but then it switches... Am I doing something wrong or thats the way it works?
Ctrl+Shift+G shouldn't take away focus from DOSBox, it's a global shortcut so press it while you are active in DOSBox. If this doesn't work for some reason, try Alt+Tab to switch focus back to DOSBox while ShaderGlass is fullscreened and the game should remain underneath but give you control; both approaches work fine in my testing.
Anyone have a weird interaction with Steam Remote Play and Shaderglass? I heard about a trick to use Shaderglass + Steam as something like Parsec and Moonlight. But, recently I've seen the combination zoom in or out due to clicking on the middle button and dragging it left or right. Not the intended use by far but baffling.
i have a problem, when a screen has a diffirent scaling to another screen, mine is 125 scale on my laptop, while my moniter which i use for vertical games has a 100 % scale. the shaderglass window does not properly display the second screen.

Thank you! I will try it!

Hey, could you tell me what adventure game that second screenshot is from? Looks a lot like Laura Bow.
Sure, it's The Crimson Diamond.
Thanks! I'll have to check it out.
It's a newer one released on Steam. I've been meaning to play it too.

Hey, this should be fixed in 1.1.1 just released, please give it a shot.
help it does not work idk why I!
This looks fantastic! Do you have any plans to bring it to Mac in the future as well?
Having a lot of trouble capturing gameplay with shader glass active using OBS studio. Zero success.
