BUG tab bar rendering issue

bug

from Stardock Forums

at upper left corner,tab name and original window contents are overlaping eatch over

windows version 1803

build 17134.228

 

and there are some suggestions for visual style，the "+" and ":" button on the right side of the tabs are too big or too bold，they don‘t mix well with original windows style ，you could make them thinner、smaller。and in the other mode，when tabs alwasy place above the window，the background color looks ugly on win10，it should be flat-gray color on win10 system(just like chrome tabs),or make flatten style as an option on setting pannel.

I just renewed my subscription and downloaded and installed the new version.   I thought I had a subscription that did not expire...  Anyway, I cannot use Groupy as I get the message:  "cannot group a window that is not responding"   This just stared happening in the last few days... I thought I had a permanent subscription... but I renewd anyway .... Why do you sell me a program that does not work?  Can you help me please?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. That error message come up on every application or just one application such as Chrome? Does it come up if you group Windows Explorer?

Thanks

I used to be able to group everything.   like opera and other programs not running on chrome.  Now I can't group anything. It seems like windows explorer or  EDGE.... groups within itself ....but not with chrome or opera or any other grouping.....  Groupy USED to work fine... what happened?????  I want it to work like it used to!  I don't use MS EDGE.  I use Chrome and other programs.... and opera... and it used to group all these, until about a week ago.  I extended  my subscription.... although I thought it never expired... you didn't answer me about this?   Basj  can you get it to work like it used to?

I think the issue is not with groupy. It is something to do with recent chrome update. But a work around that issue is currently underway. You can refer to this thread for reference :

Your Object Desktop sub expired on 01/20/2019.  If you recently renewed it, it was not under the email address linked to the account your forum profile is under.

If you did extend it, please send me the email address in a ticket here and Ill merge your accounts:
