Updated: Version 4.1.0.0

GlassBench 4 is the newest version of my aero test tool!
With it, you can easily creat glassy windows like seen on the preview, draw on them, save their settings or slowdown the desktop window manager effects! You are making custom visual styles? This will help you testing them! GlassBench 4 offers a better user interface, a really cool window manager and better painting features!

Biggest changes since GB3:
-> Window Manager
-> Better interface
-> Multilanguage support
-> More drawing features
-> Optimized drawing features
-> Set window back color
-> Save your paintings
-> Better Working tray icon
-> Update feature
-> Faster code
-> Working file associations
-> Even more features

Supported languages in the current version:
-> English
-> German
-> Russian
-> Croatian

When I start the tool, it says:

GlassBench works only on Windows Vista or Windows 7
FormBench is the alternative software for Vista predecessors.

I have Windows 7 RC 1 (7100)installed.

Which image? The preview is seen here.
The youtube video is from me and pretty old. It is GB2, you should'nt use it anymore ;)

ah see, i just found the error and fixed it. It stopped working on systems which names DONT include "Vista" or DO include "7". Of course the second DO must be changed to DONT.^^
