Download latest trunk build 2. Turn on Direct2d and Directwrite 3. Actual Results: Menu, tabs and icons look messed up since this landed Bug 546259 2d/dw Pictures showing the problem http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/1306/uglye.jpg http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/344/ugly2.jpg Expected Results: Everything should look like with d2d/dw disabled

Confirmed. This happens as soon as glass is applied underneath anything painted with D2D. And it sure doesn't look pretty... There must be an issue with the D2D implementation here, as it is supposed to be better at transparency than GDI.

No issues with software-rendered DirectWrite (i945GM).

Toolbar icons stay selected when pressed. Visual glitches all over the place. Switching to a new W7 visual style will mess things up. d2d is enabled. Changing to a basic visual theme seems ok. Definitely a work in progress.

I get that broken rendering randomly but i was already getting it before this landed. That's probably another bug not related to aeroglass

This is what I'm seeing with D2D disabled. http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/8895/ffeffedaeroglass.png

I confirm this as well. The tabs also don't update; if you close a tab it will sort of stay there.. Like it doesn't refresh the gui.

This is caused by 3 known bugs, all are being worked on.

This bug should probably should be resolved but it would most likely be reopened once aero glass is turned back on.

This is still an issue now that Areo glass has been turned back on with D2D/DW enabled.

The white halo effect surrounding the text in the titlebar, bookmarks in the bookmarks bar and menubar without D2D/DW enabled is also shown as pure white when D2D/DW is enabled.

(In reply to comment #10) > This is caused by 3 known bugs, all are being worked on. Bas, do you have bugs on file for these? I'm curious and would like to follow them so I can know when to turn D2D back on again.

I'm curious and would like to follow > them so I can know when to turn D2D back on again. Bug 555353 is one, there's one other problem which isn't hard to fix but I haven't put up a patch yet or filed a bug for it.

I was able to still not drop D2D using a persona as a workaround but i'm still getting transparent tooltips on the bookmark sidebar and the same transparent menus on the tab bar, importance flags on bugzilla are also transparent. That's still the same bug ? btw this should gain a better priority and maybe be a blocker , we can't test D2D with an unusable browser

It seems like the toolbars' contents aren't redrawing very well at all. (I had already closed the addon manager's tab, my mouse is nowhere near the refresh button but it's still glowing, and all of the bookmarks look like I'm hovering over them.) Resizing the window itself seemed to fix everything (at least, until I closed another tab, hovered over a button, etc). Not sure if this is caused by Aero. Thoughts?

We'll for non developers I think its hard to tell until we have some of the other bug fixes landed on the trunk.

I've been having the same problems as the original report, as well as in Comment 4. I have Googled my rains out but cannot figure out how to disable Aero Glass (in my opinion, the worst UI "enhancement" ever designed), but a few posts suggested that using the Stylish add-on would fix the visual corruptions from this bug, which it seems to do. I run Win7 x64, nVidia GeForce 9800GT, 8GB RAM.

I don't really remember, but I think this is new in a recent nightly. The separators in each of the menus seems to be missing with D2D enabled.

Disabling Direct2d (use gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.enabled) OR disabling aero (by using a persona theme) are the only fixes right now

New Nvidia drivers (the 257 beta drivers) are the best for d2d. As it prevents/fixes rendering issues https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=558708

I was also trying the suggested beta driver from nvidia (I'm using an Geforce 8600 GTS here) and downgraded back to the old stable driver because I had more rendering issues with the new driver. More problems with the menus not drawing correctly.

Could we please keep comments in this bug relevant to code changes to actually fix it, and confine other discussion to this Mozillazine forum? http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1775755 Thank you.

The underlying bugs have been resolved.

Looks like the main issues here are fixed, just the background is still black rather than transparent glass which is probably 555133 and 555950.

The menu issue looks like one of the attachments from bug 555950. The Download Mgr shows bug 556537.

Bas see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=571046

I still have transparent tooltips on the bookmark sidebar, transparent menu on the url bar and transparent dropdown menus like on bugzilla http://img814.imageshack.us/img814/3334/caspermenu.jpg Looks like this is another bug and it's not the same issue fixed here

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=571019 I filed a bug. Hope it's not a dupe after my thorough search.

Firstly when I changed persona to default theme I got working glass and D2D. But, putting mouse over menu bar would cause old problem. (bright space around menu, bookmars ...) But when i restarted browser, it was fixed. Also seeing those lines posted in attachment. (look at the picture, glass changes color and menu names are glowing) Or this should be. (to produce it, click on start button to see change color and glowing, then click on taskbar - glowing is gone. Then click on browser color is back to normal)

The rest is inactive menu bar is shown when switching windows but not exclusive to D2D.
