Skinned program windows slide to the right
Wednesday, February 4, 2009 by Online | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I have no idea why this happens, but ever since Stardock added translucent title bars to their WindowsBlinds software I've had problems with sliding windows. I've tried dozens and dozens of different skins, and about 95% cause this shifting to the right when I restore a program window. For example, if I minimize Firefox and then open it again -- the window slides to the right. The more I minimize and restore the program, the more it slides to the right -- until it's right off the screen.
The degree of the slide each time varies from skin pkg to skin pkg, but it happens in almost every single one I have tried. One of the few skins that does not cause this shifting to the right is Soluna and though it's a nice skin, I'm getting a bit tired of it after having to use it for over a year because of this problem.
I'm running Windows XP Professional on a Dual-Core system with an ATI Radeon X1600 video card (latest ATI drivers). I also have a ViewSonic 22" widescreen LCD display, so maybe the widescreen is the problem? Any idea would be greatly appreciated.
