Unsupported Operation Error?
3.09[b].008
Monday, October 22, 2007 by Daiwa | Discussion: WindowFX
Was adjusting/applying shadows to menus when got this error message on clicking Save & Apply:
Appears to be "non-destructive" as the shadows apply & the program doesn't crash.
Just an odd error message. FYI.
XPP SP2.

This didn't happen to me. What skin did you have selected?

Thanks. I was selecting [Shadow] Glass: WWW Link
I had modified the skin a long time ago to narrow the top shadow & this only happened when I recently tried to modify the shadow opacity. If I leave opacity at the default, I get no error message.

Shadows & transparency still work here, despite that error message. Shadows were dropped from some, but not all, windows & menus after that error but everything returned to normal when I reset the opacity to default.
Me thinks there's something unhappy somewhere in that slider.

WindowFX informs you that shadows are not used when you use a per pixel skin (because per pixel skins usually have their own shadows).

Thanks for chiming in, Neil.
In my case, the skin in use had non-perpixel borders, however. Should the shadow opacity setting be functional for non-ppx skins?
