Windowblinds Configuration window display issue
Friday, May 9, 2008 by Liquidfoo | Discussion: Object Desktop
Here's the issue I have:
The area showing my wallpaper doesn't refresh. If I put another window over the WB Config window then move it out of the way that area shows the section of the prior on top window still.

To add an exlusion in Direct Folders, open the DF configuration and go to the Applications tab and Add wbconfig.exe, then uncheck Enable.
Sounds like Windowblinds is about to be updated to fix the issue though if I'm following this thread correctly. The comments about adding an exclusion in WB are going the wrong way. The problem is DF apparently attempting to resize the WB Config window and causing the tearing.

If it doesn't work I might as well just use my docks..

I see that this is an old topic, but I have only recently renewed my Object Desktop subscription and found that Direct Folders won't come up. For the last two years I have been using Direct Folders and can confirm that - yes - double clicking on an open spot on the desktop will indeed open the DF-menu.
In addition to that functionality failing to work, though, I also cannot get the DF-menu to open when I double click inside an active Windows explorer window. I have added exceptions to both DF and WB and cannot determine the problem.
If any of you have a thought about what I could try, let me know. Everything's been stellar right up until I installed the Object Desktop suite.

After a reboot, my DF menu seems to be working just fine. Apparantly, making the changes to the exceptions is one step, but a reboot may be required to ensure that it holds.
