RedneckDude I played with WinFX 4 just a little and didn't see much that I would want to use.  Before I disable it though I turned on the transparency and it seemed like everything disappeared, went back and turn it off and it all came back.  Did you turn on transparency and could that have been the problem? 

Philly, no, and no.

But there is a conflict with windowblinds too.

I have windowblinds set to minimize windows to the systray on right click. OK, when I do this, then go to the systray to restore, the window stays minimized, but moves to the taskbar where it will not restore from minimized state.

Neil, I hope you know I'm not complaining, just reporting bugs.

Win 7 64, BTW.

Do you have minimize and restore animations on?

If you disable them does it then work ok?

Yes, I do.

If I disable the animations it works correctly. Minimizes to tray, restores as normal.

THIS and that's running Win7 Ultimate.

Okay, so is it possible that certain combinations of options within WindowFX 4 don't work well with each other?

I'm not getting any restore /minimize effects. Open windows collapse to the taskbar button and expand from there just as Windows already does without WFX running. No collapse, no fade, no swipe. Open/close animations work ok.

Edit: With inactive window transparency turned off the effects work.

it does that with some apps that are in system tray also,e.g utorrent,got it with photoshop also had to close it and re-open.

Also when a inactive windows fade and minimize(with auto minimize settings),when maximize it stays faded ,i hve to click on desktop then back on it 

Mine as well. Win7x32 Professional. Disabling Winfx solves this.

Gotta say, this must be programmed extremely well- runs smooth as silk even in VMware with Aero enabled on my Mac!

Well I've not experienced any problems with WindowFX 4 so far, touch wood, but then I'm not using all the available features, just those I want.  I'm using the transparency feature for inactive windows and the fade-in, fade-out feature.  I'm using none of the minimise to tray or taskbar features as I'm happy witth how I have things set up for that.

So far the only problem is the Photosop thing. Minimixed windows disapper, nowhere to be found. I can see the layer on the right but it's as if it's not really there. Windows 7 HP x64, ATI Radeon HD5750 but I AM liking some of the features very much. I still have to explore which settings are ok or not.

There is an issue with hidden windows. If you have an app which hides it's window and goes to the trayicon, upon reopening it doesn't show but the taskbar does show the button. Clicking on the button will show as if you show/hide the app, but it stays hidden. Disabling WinFX solves the problem.

Try Processlasso http://www.bitsum.com/prolasso.php for a test. It shows once and then is forever lost 

PS

Sometimes Winfx loses track of which window to focus. If you have multiple windows open and you click  on a background one it doesn't come tot eh foreground but the original window goes to the background. Clicking again on the first window restores it.

Major problem with disappearing windows in several programs and Firefox.

Firefox, Photoshop, Apophysis -several lost renders, had to start all over, BSOD 2x, all when manipulating windows or minimizing. The bad parts FAR outweigh the good parts. For me this was not ready to be released. I am not impressed at all so far.  All I see is disable this and disable that as advice, here in this thread. It's like disabling Windows Blin ds for all programs and apps. What are you left with, not much. 

Windows 7 x64, ATI HD5750

Still not tempted. Too many bugs and I need my machine in one piece.

If you have experienced BSOD then Windows will have pointed you to the offending component on reboot.  I suspect you have defective video drivers and the bug in them is only being shown up by WindowFX.  WindowFX itself is not capable of being the root cause of a BSOD (only kernel mode things can cause a BSOD)

You must remember this is beta software and it is expected there will be bugs.  If you are uncomfortable with the possibility of there being bugs then do not use it.

Regarding missing windows, that is all linked to an issue with close animations.  Disable those and it should be fine.

My W7 x64 laptop takes forever to come out of hibernation since installing WindowFX 4 yesterday. I notice that several other people are reporting the same issue...

This is a wonderful update to a great app!

I'm particularly happy to see the dimming/fading of inactive windows. I don't know if I had any influence on getting that feature added (see my thread in https://forums.wincustomize.com/166992), but I sure am glad to see that Stardock also thinks that it would be a useful feature.

One issue I experienced with that feature:  If I have two instances of the same program open (e.g., two Firefox windows), then selecting one window will bring both into spotlight focus. Clicking elsewhere will dim both.

Of note, I have x-mouse functionality activated such that a window achieves focus when the mouse is over it, but is not raised to the foreground (i.e., you can type in a window in the background). Don't know if that affects things. Perhaps an x-mouse toggle could be added to the WindowFX console?

Best wishes an congrats on a great Beta!!!

The BSOD was not due to FX4 Neither video driver but a new program installed and properly uninstalled. I find that a sidetrack. If yo omit the part about the BSOD All the other problems still exist and of that you don't say very much.   When should we expect an update so we can enable everything we have disabled? I did follow your advice and uninstalled it. Sorry but it's not my fault if all you are getting is negative feedback about this product.
