Alpha blending with windows 8.1

[Frykky]

Hi
alpha blending display an image instead blank screen will be supported in windows 8.1?
I made some try with versione 1.0.8.2, 1.1.9.6 and 1.2.0.1 but without success, at most i can see my image both on local screen and host screen.

With windows XP/7 i have no problem!

It's very importat for me

MS removed alpha blending from the grphival subsystem in win8 ( it is also removed in win7 + aero).
Current we don't have a solution

Ok, i take note.

But there is another problem. If i blank screen with "power saving" mode the screen is blinking on mouse movement.
I made a video with smartphone if you want to see:

Did you see it?

[Rudi De Vos]

yes, but nothing you can do.

1) Mouse moves cause the system to go out of sleep
2) We tell the system to sleep the display

If you use your mouse, the system sleep/wake the display -> flash

Wow, this is a big problem... So the only thing we can do is downgrade to windows 7 right?
There is no way to blank screen correctly right?
