Hello! This is an amazing program and does exactly what I've wanted to do for awhile -- use retroarch shaders on non-retroarch core supported applications.
My only question is whether or not It's possible to add our own slangp shaders to the program on our computers? For example I love the crt options already available, but my favorite crt shader, crt-royale xm29plus, is not included.
Hey, thanks for the kind words, yes I'd love to include various crt-royale and HSM shaders but they are much more complex and ShaderGlass is not capable of running them correctly (yet!); they are on my list however. In general for supporting external .slangp shaders I'm not planning the ability to load them on the fly, all shaders are compiled-in for ShaderGlass to stay small and fast (you'll need to recompile ShaderGlass to add your own shaders, something possible already).
I've been looking for something like this for days! Is there any way to set it up so that once windows is turned on ShaderGlass will automatically launch with it?
Are you on Windows 10 version 1909 or earlier? If so, you cannot use "glass mode" but you should be able to use "clone mode". Go to Input -> Window and choose your game window.
It may be only my problem, but this app crashes every time I make some adjustments to input/output settings. It is very annoying. If not this issue, and inability to capture fullscreen games, it could be an ultimate tool!
Thanks for reporting this, would you mind opening an issue for the crashes on GitHub so that we can discuss it in more detail there, please? For exclusive fullscreen apps (borderless fullscreen should work with the Fullscreen toggle) indeed the app won't work well, Reshade is a better option for those.
Thanks for the feedback! Shaders in ShaderGlass are already in RetroArch (it's where they came from) so you should be able to use them there directly, but you can also start ShaderGlass and RetroArch side-by-side if you prefer. Any closer integration is not on the cards at the moment.
I am simply interested in combining different shaders to make personalized presets, something Retroarch allows, to improve indie games with pixel-graphics. Thank you again, waiting for the next release!
This is beyond amazing! It's brilliant! Can I ask how you can use it with games, for example in CC6, how can you apply this to the game, so it would look like this? Thanks a lot.
Thanks man, you should be able to play CC6 games with ShaderGlass window applying the effect without problem. But if you'd like to add the effect to a CC6 game itself then it's not something ShaderGlass can do, it's a completely different function. It'd require CC6 to import a custom post-processing effect shader which I'm not sure it is able to do.
Thanks mate, please help to share the word so more people can enjoy it, that's what ShaderGlass needs the most! And if anyone deserves a donation it's the RetroArch community who developed all the shaders, I just wrapped them up!
This is great, but I want to take a screenshot with the effect, is it possible? I can do it with 'Stop' under processing or pressing 'X', is there a shortcut key to restart the process? Great tool!!

This is an inherent Windows feature! It's a bit more complicated than it used to be, but you can set it up yourself.

how do i get this to work it only display's black :(
please i want to play some game with this filter and i cant because it wont work

Hi!! I am having this problem on starting the software, under Windows 7. Any hint to solve it??
Hey, unfortunately you need Windows 10 (ideally 2004, minimum 1903), those are the earliest versions where the tech ShaderGlass uses is available.
Ok! Thank you for the answer!!
Great tool!!
Can I play game with mouse clicking? not controller.
Hey, thanks! Yes in Glass mode you should be able to "click-through" the ShaderGlass window into any game, keyboard or mouse.
Can I use mouse on Glass mode full-screen? or I need to align the game windows behind to use mouse.
you can :)
Thank you, great tool!

Thank you very much for this great tool! Would it be possible to make a libretro port of Shaderglass you can launch with Retroarch?

Thanks for the response. It's pretty cool what you've made! Brilliant Job!
Mausimus, I searched for something like this for ages: please add the option to make a donation! Great work.

Hey, thanks for the feedback! Please try 0.6 beta just released, you can both export a screenshot and also pause/unpause using a keyboard shortcut.
Awesome, thank you!
This software is amazing!
