Flickering taskbar

Flickering taskbar

from Stardock Forums

I'm having problems with my taskbar flickering when using some of the skins in WB5. The retro-skin seems fine, but iFlex and Cyclops makes my taskbar flicker every second or so..


I've tried to remove WB completely and reinstall it. I've also updated to the latest graphic-cars drivers.


Here is the info from the system-information:


WindowBlinds 5.0 System Information Report:


STATUS : WB+ SRV+ HLP+ UI+ TRAY+


WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC.


WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC


Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.


You have one monitor in total.

Hope you guys can help me! Thanks!

More I play with it, more I get 1-3 flickers about 500ms apart after the offline/online printer setting maneuver.

Some new information that may help:

The taskbar flickering was not occurring on my XP/MCE rig, but I'd not updated WB on that one for awhile. I happened to install drivers for a new printer, a Konica Minolta 2530DL Color Laser on that rig and immediately the taskbar flickering started. The same printer drivers were installed on my XPP rig about the time the flickering started on it and I've previously noted a relationship between printer activity and the flickering, though flickering seems to occur at other times as well.

Seems possible this is a printer driver-related phenomenon.
