Background color keeps flooding my apps, App ends up appearing as a solid color

February 25, 2014 11:33:18 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

First off I have to say I really like ModernMix and this is what Windows 8 should have been for Desktop users.

But I do have one issue with ModernMix which annoys me.  It is happening on both of my computers so it may not be an isolated issue.

On pretty frequent occasions, an open app gets flooded with the background color and the window appears as a solid color with a border around it.  Snapping it back to full screen and the app renders properly again.  Snap back to a window and it is nothing but background color again.  Sometimes clicking in the window when it is solid will make it render properly again for awhile.  But then it may go back to the solid color.

Wonder if anyone else has had this problem?  Is it a bug?

What version is your ModernMix and what version of Windows 8?

I am still having this problem, "....frequent occasions, an open app gets flooded with the background color and the window appears as a solid color with a border around it.  Snapping it back to full screen and the app renders properly again..."

This is happening on my laptop and desktop.  I have the latest AMD drivers and uninstalled ModernMix, wiped with CCleaner, and then re-installed ModernMix.  None of this helped.

I have noticed one other ModernMix quirk, sometimes my windowed Metro apps will not minimize if I click the minimize icon on top right border.  Click as you may and nothing happens.  The only way to get the app minimized is by clicking the shortcut on the Taskbar and then it will minimize.
