-transparency change of non-active window
-taskbar and start menu transparency(no fading)
-contrast screen(adjustable transparency)
-transparency on window move and resize
-transparency when mouse leaves window area
-jelly effects
-window kinetics while moving
-window bouncing
-window resilience - window remembers it's shape on quick resize
-"illusion effects"
-snow - very simple falling snow effect
-shimmering - star line passing through whole window
-jelly windows - very simple window shape deformation on moving, wobbly, jellying windows(...)"

Nah just changed it's name for very simple reason - most of people whom were using Tophaz came from China and Spanish speaking countries: after making small survey, Nimi came out as it's result. From perspective do know if it was smart move, especially as Tophaz was unique name, while Nimi exists almost in every language. However, that was actually one of the reasons speaking after need of change.

I tried Tophaz and liked it. I'll give it a try too. You should post some videos or screenshots of different effects.

Transparency effects are very stable - but the "kinetics" part has got problems with windowblinds

overall

app performence : 8/10
ur programming : 12/10

I love this program of urs......

[Eye Pie Rate]

Still a bit unstable.
Nice work though, better than TT and FastAero imo.

and on screenshoots & video - working on video, but it's easier to say than to make(actually => I'm in middle of writing my own screen recording software, as any I've tried doesn't capture layered windows T_T)

Major problem with effects like mentioned kinetics - is that I don't have access to CBT hook, or more precisely I didn't work at all (false output) - so it relies on my idea of analyzing mouse click xD But who knows implementing code from Azumi image viewer, and Nimiberry already worked miracles - so everything is possible for 0.6-1.0 XD

Moreover, transparency effects are easier to optimize as mostly they just don't interfere with OS normal behavior.

And my programming is more like 6-7/10 - as by preference I sticked to VB ^-^' and it seems not to be pro choice xD (but still I prefer simple & working solutions - and whats most important free)

Oh and about conflict - You know when two programs rely on the same core basics ;P

Cause it's 0.5 not 1.0 not to mention RC2 [joking, no offense] - You know step by step it will be polished, for example take transparency effects or window bounce - it took 3-4 versions to make it as stable as now. Give it time - for sure it will be better.

And thaaaaanks for kind words m(_ _)m - I don't deserve them, not only as I assume it isn't as great as TT or FastAero ^-^', but also cause it's different kind of program ;P (however, if implementation of Nimiberry would take place 0.5 as planned(actually I withdraw that, as I still think it needs some work, same was with jelly windows which was +/- "ready" for 0.4 version) - it might even be compared so)

i like the transparency effect but I dont like much the jelly effect until it looks like ubuntu's window effects.

[M.Sudoku]

Wow, pretty cool effects. Awesome job!

[The Sign]

Nice

[PRATOSH]

WHATS THIS?IS IT BETTER THAN TRUE TRANSPERENCY

[Liskiller]

@PRATOSH this is a different app. You can add various effects to your Windows with this.

[Secured Tim]

Excellent program! Some of the effects are really cool.

[fediaFedia]

Just tried it, really nice

[AMIRZ]

Wow looks cool! Must give it a try thx
