DXGL 0.5.28 has a slight visual issue in DXGL Config in Dark Mode on systems older than Windows 11 25H2. Since this issue is minor, the fix will be implemented in a later release. Until then here's a teaser of a WIP UI refresh early in development.

DXGL 0.5.28 has been released. This release includes High DPI improvements, mouse related fixes, and resolves a regression that made the previous release incompatible with Windows NT 4.0 and 2000 (requires a special build). dxgl.org/downloads/

Bots are slowing down and crashing my site again. Even when the main site isn't working you may be able to download all DXGL releases at dxgl.org/download/dxgl/

DXGL 0.5.27 has now been released, including an updated dark theme for DXGL Config and various tweaks to the wrapper. dxgl.org/Downloads/

Wine 11.6 has new DLL loading functionality to better handle custom DirectX wrappers and game mods. Starting with DXGL 0.5.27, if installing in Wine, the version will be checked and if the version is 11.6 or greater Setup will no longer adjust the DLL load order by default.

Dark mode support is fully confirmed for DXGL 0.5.27, and in addition a new mode has been added to force the window border of a target app or game to be square, so the corners don't get cut off.

Please note that while this will support down to Windows 10 version 1809 there will be limitations with older Windows versions and not all elements can be made dark.

Work in progress dark mode support for DXGL Config, to be added to 0.5.27 if I can get it to meet my standards.

DXGL 0.5.26 has been released. Bugs have been fixed with upscaled primary surfaces, and logging has been improved. dxgl.org/downloads/

DXGL 0.5.25 has been released. This is a bugfix release and should be installed especially if running 0.5.20 or above. Please note system requirements have changed, and if running a Winows version older than 10 please install the legacy version. dxgl.org/downloads

I have resolved some merge conflicts in the 0.5.x branch of DXGL, as I plan on at least one more release. As a result, the minumim Windows 10 requirement will also apply to the next version. Users of previous Windows versions should use the legacy version moving forward.

As a heads-up, older versions of DXGL still work on modern operating systems like Windows 10 and Windows 11; they may be needed for some games as later versions currently have regressions.

In light of today's release of Visual Studio 2026, for future versions of DXGL the legacy installer will be required for all Windows versions below 10. This is due to new system requirements for the current v14 Redistributable.

I have been having server issues likely due to AI scrapers. If this happens when accessing my site the server still usually finds enough CPU cycles to host the direct downloads of DXGL at dxgl.org/download .

DXGL 0.5.24 has now been released. This is a limited release adding an experimental Windows NT 4.0 compatible build, and fixes an error rendering floating point numbers in DXGL Config on non-Unicode builds. dxgl.org/downloads/

Making progress getting DXGL compatible with the retro operating system Windows NT 4.0.

There will be at least one more maintanence build of DXGL 0.5.x coming up soon; this version will by request attempt to add support for Windows NT 4.0 via the MSVC 2005 build.

Show me on the datasheet where the errata touched you.

Windows 11 ARM64 users who cannot get DXGL to work, please download the OpenCL™, OpenGL®, and Vulkan® Compatibility Pack at apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nqps... to enable OpenGL support.
