It was causing me prob's before, but I have a 64 bit processor. Maybe now it will work!
Thanks for the info.

| Only one problem - the changelog only goes thru 2.89b. The new version is 2.95b. |
Well, I'm embarrassed! I didn't check the version number of the update vs. the changelog, but assumed that the most recent item went with the most recent release

I also noticed that the taskbar preview won't display thumbnails of transparent windows. You only see what's behind it.
And shadows stopped working now. I'm currently using the "Alysseum Plus - Citrus" theme.

We have not changed how shadows work, so they should be working as usual and they certainly do here.
The popup taskswitcher works perfectly with buttons 4 & 5 on a Microsoft mouse. If you are using logitech software you may need to remove it as it may be mapping those buttons to some other functions and thats why WFX is not able to see them.
I will look into the transparent windows issue.
Also please make sure your wfx.dll and wfxload.dll are dated May 2006 and that you are on XP 32 bit. The 64 bit wfx has not been updated yet.

I was under the impression that shadows didn't work for per pixel frames.

Shadow is working here using Alysseum Plus Charger, but after dragging window shadow is gone must min. then restore or send window to bottom and bring back up for shadow to reappear. Does this even if not using a drag effect.

Cavan1: Do you have WFX set to hide shadows when moving & sizing?

If you have 32 bit XP with a 64 bit processor, it works great. This is my config. FYI

when I use the solid shadow you can see the shadow is drawn ontop of the edge of the window frame instead of sticking out underneat it. If I use "Darwin-mini" it doesn't show at all.
my WFX files are dated May 2006.

If you look very carefully with Darwin-mini the shadow is being painted. Its just very small because with WB skins the shaped window setting is enabled which reduces the amount of shadow thats visible. This is perfectly normal.
The solid shadow looks to be a bug. I will see about getting that fixed.

In WFX 2 there was an option to set whether the shadow was adjusted for shaped windows or not. Any way of doing this in WFX 3?
