Skype VS WinFX
Wednesday, July 22, 2020 by RedneckDude | Discussion: WindowFX
Hey guys, I can't get WindowFX to animate the latest version of Skype. It worked fine until Skype updated on me.
WindowFX V. 6.05

Mine says I'm up to date. Are you using the app version, or desktop version?

That one was the Skype Desktop version.
Thank you,

I am sorry. The Desktop version, in my experience, has NEVER worked with WinFX. Odd.

Ok, I uninstalled Skype app. Installed Skype Desktop. No change. Still no wobbly windows or any animations.

Uninstalled, rebooted, and reinstalled WinFX. No change. Back to Skype app, still no change.

Ok, unloaded windowblinds, loaded Curtains. Skype now has animations. So it's a windowblinds/WinFX issue.

Loaded windowblinds, back to no animations for Skype.

Uninstalled windowblinds, rebooted, ran CCleaner, rebooted, reinstalled windowblinds. Still not working.

Both the Skype desktop and skype app running without issue on my system. And both have the wobbly effect from WindowFX when moving it. Not really sure why it is not working in your system. But, I have forward your problem/question to Stardock Support Team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate your feedback and patience.
Note : I did exclude Skype from Windowblinds for some reason I don't remember. Maybe just because it don't really skin well.

As for my system, it is an issue on multiple rigs here. I have about 8.

I may have to give up WinFX or WindowBlinds. I can't stand the thought of giving up either one. But I hate bugs.
WinFX and Curtains work well together.

No support, yet yall have the time to deal with a guy too lazy to look up skins on his own. Sheesh.

This should have been done a week ago. Not that it would have mattered.
Basj forwarded it over on the 24th.
It certainly is an odd one as WB shouldn't stop WFX animating anything. The only exception are WB blurred Start menus which will not animate with WFX and Start10 due to the blur.
We go to great lengths to make our software compatible with each other.
The one thing not asked was if the same issue happened if you excluded it from WB. This would narrow down the issue.
It is a known thing that you will not get some animations with universal apps, I assume your Skype hasn't been 'upgraded' (and I use that term loosely) to a universal version.

If I run Curtains rather than WindowBlinds, animations happen. When I say animations, I am speaking of wobbly windows. Movement animations.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But Skype look like this for me. But my version is slightly different than yours.
