dissapearing reappearing windows in winfx
Tuesday, May 25, 2004 by DesignCaddy | Discussion: Stardock Software
i was just about to proclaim my new found love for winfx when the windows transitions started working against me.. starting in dreamweaver yesterday with sub windows not appearing, then this morning with groupwise refusing to show its window upon program start. it seems to happen to random windows but the same windows consistantly: as the program opens and i get the tab on my taskbar, i just don't get the window itself.
i've disabled the state transitions and the open and close window transitions and everything is working ok (i still have tiling and shadows on). running in fall back mode (nvideo 40mg shared memory), regular mode didn't work any differently.
this is winfx 2.2 (beta?) on xp pro.. gig of ram, 40 shared to video.
any ideas? .. has this been seen in 2.12 ?

I have a similar problem opening readme files. I can tell the window is there because my cursor changes when I move over it but can't see anything.

I have noticed some issues occassionally with WindowsFX, both beta and the 2.12 version. But for me it is occasional, and kind of random. I'd say 90% of the time that I am running the transitions (which is most of the time), I have no issues. As far as Dreamweaver, I have had no particullar issues except from windowblinds, not windowfx. Certain subwindows, such as the new site wizard do not appear correctly unless I shut down WindowBlinds. Of course, maybe...which I just tested, and apparently WindowBlinds 4.3 fixed that problem. I was using 4.2 last time I tried.
