WindowBlinds and WindowsFX

Friday, December 1, 2006 by shortcut_ | Discussion: WindowBlinds

Is there some sort of issue with certain skins in WindowBlinds affecting how WindowsFX works (or doesn't work)? 

I like a few of the different effects of WindowsFX (eg. Make windows semi-transparent when dragging, distort when minimizing, etc).  I am guessing it might be something with per-pixel shading in some of the skins of WB but I don't know. 

WindowsFX seems sort of finicky (sp?) anyway, with the distort on minimize only working some of the time anyway. But with my skin now my windows don't turn semi transparent when being dragged.

If anybody knows or has suggestions it would be appreciated!


Post Script: Current windowblinds skin is Stealth OS (new version).WFX was working fine before this skin.

That is likely because that is a skin utilizing translucent titlebars. Have you been able to use a WB5-featured skin with WindowFX the way you are describing before?

I'm sorry Cerebro, I'm not sure. How do you know which skins are WB5 featured? Are all the translucent titlebars WB5 skins? I only know that the stealth skin seems to be 'hit & miss' when it comes to the minimize windows effects and that the semi transparent when dragging windows never works. I switch skins and then the WFX stuff works.
