Great to see that you guys listen to your customers and added more Compiz like wobbly windows. Now I am excited that I decided to take a shot and purchase this. Stardock, you rule! This was the only reason I even wanted Ubuntu over Windows, because I am superficial. :P

I am using directory opus as a windows explorer replacement, but I killed all opus related handles/processes before log off and explorer still crashes. I am also using TrueLaunchBar as a quick launch replacement.

WindowFX features enabled:

All animations

Window management - enable window shake

Right Click Menu (all items)

Movement - window flicks - windows momentum dragging - fade windows

Guys

I have narrowed it down to truelaunchbar on my system. If I remove any custom toolbars from the taskbar the crashes stop!

Not sure if anyone else with the symptoms is using TLB and WindowFX together.

I use no explorer addins, but have most of Object Desktop installed. Could some of the software conflict?

Let us know if it worked, if it's the same fix they sent me it didn't work.

When I right-click on the WFX SysTray Icon, all background windows start flickering like mad.  Window with focus at the time is unaffected.  Won't stop until the WFX UI opens.  Clicking off somewhere doesn't stop it - have click on the 'Configure WindowFX' context menu item & it may take a minute for the UI to appear.  Does not happen when I launch WFX5 from the Start Menu - UI pops up immediately & background windows unaffected.

Could you be more specific as to which ones?

Reply #171 from Stardock Forums Top

FL studio beta error report window upon crash (its a debugging dialog when you close it)....so, not so easy for you to fix since is not easy to get the beta if you're not an official customer.

The window shows up on the taskbar but the actual window dialog wont.

In what way do they not work like the Ubuntu ones?

There are two modes, WindowFX style and Compiz style.  The second of those should be near identical to the Ubuntu ones.

Reply #174 from Stardock Forums Top

Identical? Have you've never used ubuntu?

On Ubuntu the animation is more fluid, more "liquid"... and, above all, on WindowFX i noticed a lag on animation...

...for me it is still far from the effect on ubuntu, in fact I turned it off!

Please, work on it...


If I may make a suggestion: the effects would be nice to be able to activate only a few in random mode!

Thanks
