Disable Start Menu Anims?
Friday, March 14, 2008 by Astyanax | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Does anyone know how to disable them? Im currently using the Dragon skin, its awesome and all, but the latest beta of WB 6.1 x64 completely screws up start menu animations (already notified support..... sunday) Basicly I get a dancing dragon all over my screen... EVERYWHERE...
I looked all around SKS6 and could not find anything related to disabling the animation... anyone know?

Note:right clicking on my desktop shows the dragon, opening explorer shows the dragon, the dragon overlays the logoff buttons on the start menu, and when i click the system tray he also appears...
He also gets glued to my desktop when I go into the CCC.

I posted about it in the thread 'Dragon visual style shows off the power of WindowBlinds'

You guys should send in a support ticket, maybe it'll get more attention. (ive submitted one, and has been known since monday)

This isn't a stupid thread, it appears to be a bug that we need to fix.
Are you all also using ATI drivers? (which seems to be where the issue is...unless you guys aren't...then it's a whole different problem..)

for the driver? I have the nvidia.

Yeah I've got ATi here, I don't think this is a driver issue. When I had the conflict with WB6.1 and Catlayst 8.3 Kris Kwilas sent me an email replying to my support ticket telling me they had narrowed it down to an issue with ATi's drivers, and temporarily fixed the problem until they do. Once I installed the update this bug started happening. I replied to the email and was told by Kris that it probably wasn't an issue with the fix and that something may have been broken in 64 bit. That was Sunday last week...
And Karma, I'd just ignore him. He's like an old school resident troll that apparently was never thrown from his bridge.

1nsomn1ac: This thread is about a start menu animation issue in 64 bit Vista with a beta build of WB 6.1. Please keep on topic.
This issue was resolved internally earlier in the week and the next WB update should contain the fix. This should be going up later today.
