Skype VS WinFX

from WinCustomize Forums

Hey guys, I can't get WindowFX to animate the latest version of Skype.  It worked fine until Skype updated on me.

WindowFX V. 6.05

Skype version 8.61.0.100
Application version 15.61.100.0

Having looked at the code, with WB running WFX will disable animations when in the Skype process.  However this has been the case since Skype v4 (it is v8 now).  Nothing should have changed recently in this regard.

I imagine it would be a newer WB build to address this as Skype has changed drastically since it needed the special handling, but right now I do not have an estimate for when there would be a WB update.

Skype has been animating fine, and still is for Basj.

As I mentioned it is fine for me, but, I excluded Skype from Windowblinds.

Thank you,

Skype animates fine with Curtains, just not with WindowBlinds.  But it did last week.

I wish I could explain that as the code says it should never have animated with any v4 or later version of Skype when WB was in use.

As I said this would need a WB update to alter.

I get it Neil.   I wish I could explain that it did anyway. It defied your code.

The app version only. I learned of it animating via Sean, a few months ago when I reported this before. Which is why I moved to the app version.

Waste of breath, but for the record, just a month or so ago, Skype did animate with WinFX and WindowBlinds applied.  I didn't dream it.   

 

Just saying.
