various winfx bugs

Saturday, February 11, 2006 by bioxeed | Discussion: WindowFX

Just installed and rebooted for the latest wb + winfx and 1st up I gotta say I quite like some of the new things in this (the alt-tab replacement and window previews in particular). However seeing as it's very much a beta there are a few issues - as to be expected at this point. All except one of the bugs I've noticed have an easy work around for me.

1. Mirc + nnscript 4.01 - treeview switchbar doesnt display while runnning wfx. not sure which of the wfx opions is causing this but I can use the default mirc switchbar for now.

2. Foobar 2000 - while using columns UI restore from system tray doesnt work (window gets resized to 1 or 0px). Minimise+restore from taskbar is fine with it but not the system tray. I'm also using the columns UI plugin for fb as well.

3. Sometimes the alt-tab replacement doesnt re-paint the desktop correctly. Has only happened a couple of times so far and not sure whats causing it.

It's still a pretty cool update though despite the bugs.
