An illusory mental image
Visual bug/conflict?!
Published on March 18, 2019 By ThePhantasma In Other Stardock Software

Hello there, 

I noticed this funny visual bug about half year ago, where Groupy tabs appear on desktop before window itself  (example, when you launch File Explorer with Groupy tabs enabled). It is always like this, no matter what is your settings (shorter animation, "less waiting"). I guess WindowFX will ignore Groupy tabs, so those tabs appear on desktop almost instantly when you launch (example) file explorer and then it will animate "standard window" with selected animation speed.

 

I was little bit disappointed that Stardock support didn't want to forward this or any feedback to the relevant team, no matter how poor is your English language, so i finally posted this "report" after 3 months here.

Another issue is that why there is no dark fonts on Start10, it is impossible to use (new upcoming) White themes. Do i need to post this as separate issue?!

Thank you.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues.

Can we get some more information , please 

What version of Windows are you running ... in run type in .. winver 

and Groupy and WindowFX versions ?

And a New version of Groupy Is now available https://forums.stardock.com/494041/groupy-119-beta-now-available

And you should post Groupy, WindowFX and Start 10 issues  separately

in their own Threads .

Windows 10 Home - Version 1903 OS Build 18356.1, so far same issue with every build, even with official. release (Win 10) So it looks like something that developer didn't ever noticed.  

WindowsFX 6.04

Groupy 1.19 Beta

Groupy-settings > Compine if possible or Always place above have same result, in both cases WindowFX ignores everything that is from groupy and doesn't animate them.

 

You should have feedback form for bug-reports,/etc where you can easily state that you will not respond them, i hate some forums.

Ok, thank you. I already created thread to Groupy-section as well (without small-text rant, lol). If that is unnecessary, you can remove it.
