found a 'cool' (!?) ````BUG''''' for WINDOW FX 2 (1.9k)
Saturday, August 10, 2002 by Lord Vimal | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
hello there...
was messin with window fx 2 when i found a BUG!
just look at the screenshot. i see it mostly in WINAMP only.
the problem:
when window fx hooks and sees a SYSTEM MENU of a program being drawn, it adds a 'SET WINDOW TRANSPARENCY' item to it. mostly there is only ONE. but look at this screenshot!

it draws sooo many items. i guess it is because WINAMP has already modified its system menu!
please correct this bug in future version! STARDOCK rulz
please comment on this and see whether u have the same problem.

i have a lot of mistakes: i see a lot of bugly transparencies and shadows around, and double images.... it always happens on saturday night-sunday morning, but i think that Stardock developpers aren't causing 
Seriously, i observed that shadows using always squared masks on any windows, and thesse shadows don't match correctly with some alphablending apps like Winamp 3 and Sonique, and worse cases, on lots of Windows Blinds skins.
Also, the minimization effects are very good (really reminds me OSX!!), but ralentizes a lot the windows drawing. I uploaded the driver of my graphics card (Radeon 7500 powered) and thesse animations are a lot much faster, but the first minimization are still slowly.
And WindowFX don't let me run some apps,, the worse case is Photoshop 7!
WindowFX2 are a good program, but i don't run it, the Photoshop 7 are a catastrophical case for me!
