Win: Add IS_WIN8PLUS macro and disable DW_FCF_COMPOSITION for Windows 8 and higher. The method used in Vista and Windows 7 to control what is drawn as glass has adverse side effects on Windows 8 and 10. Mouse clicks on what would be "glass" passed through to underlying windows due to the use of LWA_COLORKEY to specify transparency color. Additionally the glass effect has been removed. Glass was the main reason for implementing DW_FCF_COMPOSITION so just ignore the flag on Windows 8 and higher. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4768862/dwmextendframeintoclientarea-without-transparencykey

-- Special notes for version 3.0 --
Version 2.4 has started a transition to Unicode on OS/2. Warp 4 and 
later have fairly decent support for UTF-8 via codepage 1208, however 
there are some known input problems, which shall be worked around
in future versions.  For English or non-input applications Unicode
is the recommended version, however for applications that have not 
been converted to UTF-8 or which are experiencing input problems,
a non-Unicode version of the DLL is included.
