base on Overlay for running GPU shaders on top of Windows desktop      ## ShaderGlass Overlay for running GPU shaders on top of Windows desktop. ### Features * applies shader effects on top of desktop, in a floating window or full-screen * built-in [RetroArch](https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch) shader library (1200+ shaders!) covering: * CRT monitor simulation * image upscaling * TV, VHS and handheld simulation * softening, denoising, blur, sharpen and many more * works with most emulators, retro platforms and pixel art editors including: * [DOSBox](https://www.dosbox.com/), [FS-UAE](https://github.com/FrodeSolheim/fs-uae), [Altirra](http://www.virtualdub.org/altirra.html), [ScummVM](https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm), [AGS](https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags), [VICE](https://sf.net/projects/vice-emu), [Aseprite](https://www.aseprite.org/) etc. * excellent companion for pixel art showing shaded and/or aspect-ratio corrected preview * you can even use it on top of YouTube, Twitch or modern games * allows capture from a USB source (webcam or capture card) * saving and loading profiles * import of external .slangp/.slang shaders * high customizability with various options, operating modes and shader parameters * can be captured by OBS (using Game Capture source) Check out [Online Manual](https://mausimus.github.io/ShaderGlass/MANUAL.html) for details. <br/> ### Download Latest stable release (v1.2.x, 12 Dec 2025): * device capture input (webcam/capture card) * hide original mouse cursor when "Capture Cursor" is enabled * ability to edit global hotkeys + more of them * added Sonkun's presets * (1.2.1) improved Device Capture performance & fixes * (1.2.2) fix for browser video blanking out when inactive * (1.2.3) minor fixes https://github.com/mausimus/ShaderGlass/releases/download/v1.2.3/ShaderGlass-1.2.3.1-win-x64.zip <br/> [](https://ko-fi.com/mausimus) <br/> ### Get it on Steam! [](https://store.steampowered.com/app/3613770/ShaderGlass/) <br/> Join testing of BFI (Black Frame Insertion) and Blur Busters' CRT Beam Simulator shaders [here.](https://github.com/mausimus/ShaderGlass/discussions/202) [Betas and older versions available here](https://github.com/mausimus/ShaderGlass/releases) <br/> ### Requirements * __Windows 10, version 2004__ (build 19041) or __Windows 11__ * will work on version 1903 but in limited capacity (no Desktop Glass mode) * Windows 11 allows the __removal of yellow border__ (see [FAQ](FAQ.md#windows-10) for tips on avoiding it on Windows 10) * DirectX 11-capable GPU <br/> ### Demo Click to view on YouTube [](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWOcucS9_mg) ### Screenshots ShaderGlass running over multiple applications on Windows 11 desktop.  #### Desktop Glass mode In this mode a transparent floating window will apply a shader to anything behind it. Requires Windows 10 2004 - on 1903/1909 you will see only a black window if you switch to this mode. Wikipedia in Chrome processed by crt-geom shader which applies scanlines and CRT curvature.  #### Window Clone mode When capture is fixed to a specific window it's easier to tune scaling to match the input and image can also be recaptured (screenshot/OBS etc.) ##### FS-UAE Amiga version of [The Secret of Monkey Island (1990)](https://store.steampowered.com/app/32360/The_Secret_of_Monkey_Island_Special_Edition/) running in FS-UAE with crt-interlaced-halation shader applied.  ##### Altirra [Ninja (1986)](https://www.mobygames.com/game/ninja_) for the Atari XL running in Altirra with a TV-OUT simulation shader.  ##### Adventure Game Studio [The Crimson Diamond (2024)](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1098770/The_Crimson_Diamond/), a modern AGS game using HSM MegaBezel STD shader.  ##### DOSBox [Police Quest (1987)](https://store.steampowered.com/app/494740/Police_Quest_Collection/) with its massive half-EGA pixels, aspect-ratio corrected and post-processed using newpixie-crt shader.  [Rick Dangerous (1989)](https://www.mobygames.com/game/rick-dangerous) with C64 monitor shader applied.  <br/> ### Instructions & Manual See [Online Manual](https://mausimus.github.io/ShaderGlass/MANUAL.html) for option explanations and Frequently Asked Questions. <br/> ### Code Built using Visual Studio 2022 using ISO C++ 20, Windows SDK 10.0.26100, Windows Capture API and DirectX 11. ShaderGlass includes a limited implementation of RetroArch shader back-end using DirectX 11. [ShaderGen](ShaderGen) is a command-line tool for converting Slang shaders into .h files which can be precompiled in ShaderGlass. The conversion process relies on: 1. [glslang](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glslang) for converting Slang/GLSL shaders to SPIR-V 2. [SPIR-V cross-compiler](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Cross) for converting those to HLSL (DX11 format) 3. [Direct3D Shader Compiler (fxc.exe)](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-10-sdk/) for pre-compiling into bytecode <br/> ### Notices * ShaderGlass application is provided under [GNU General Public License v3.0](LICENSE) * Includes precompiled shaders from [libretro/RetroArch shader repository](https://github.com/libretro/slang-shaders).
