We all know Transparent Windows subtest does not start if Windows Visual Settings aren't set to default, but I have found a workaround.

 

Because of the recording software scores are seriously dragged down, but you can still make an idea of what this tweak can do to your final score if used right. So far my best boost from this tweak was 45%.

 

 

I looked in this threat hopefully there is Text edit now damn:)

 

Not sure if it's of any use for anyone, but this is the file used in TE.

Fixed, thanks!

 

Got it, but now I'm confused. That is the file that the benchmark uses to do the searching on the TE test.

 

You telling me that you've changed something on it? Isn't that against the rules? Better yet; how do you make that work being that the file is packed into an archive that gets extracted when the benchmark runs?

 

Don't get me wrong... Not accusing you of anything; just wondering what is being done with the file. :D

It's the original unaltered file.

I think I misunderstood you earlier post where you said: This is the file used in the TE tests.

 

I guess that in my excitement I assumed that you were talking about "a file" that would implement the Text Edit tweaks, or that would have the settings that enable the high TE scores, but you were just posting the original file that the test is done on. My bad.

 

1. thanks for the file:) But from where is this file? Is that the fmpad of pcm05? Readable, or from where is this file:)

 

The file is part of the PCM05 benchmark and, if I'm not mistaken, it is part of one of the .dat packages that are in the PCM05 folder... So it's not explicitly visible, but once the test starts, the first thing that it does is extract the file from the package and then run the search/replace routines that make up the actual test.

EDIT:

 

Expect a new Web Rendering tweak :D

Already replaced that file, but there is no boost (sometimes I even score lower lol, probably due scripting overhead).
