common-shaders | commonly used Cg shaders | Graphics library

A little background: I'm attempting to make a Windows (10) application which makes the screen look like an old CRT monitor, scanlines, blur, and all. I'm using this official Microsoft screen capture demo as a starting point: At this stage I can capture a window, and display it back in a new mouse-through window as if it were the original window.

I am attempting to use the CRT-Royale CRT shaders which are generally considered the best CRT shaders; these are available in .cg format. I transpile them with cgc to hlsl, then compile the hlsl files to compiled shader byte code with fxc. I am able to successfully load the compiled shaders and create the pixel shader. I then set the pixel shader in the d3d context. I then attempt to copy the capture surface frame to a pixel shader resource and set the created shaders resource. All of this builds and runs, but I do not see any difference in the output image and am not sure how to proceed. Below is the relevant code. I am not a c++ developer and am making this as a personal project which I plan on open sourcing once I have a primitive working version. Any advice is appreciated, thanks.
