Hi,

I have a LOT of problems using Groupy on my w11. The only feature working for me is the grouping on the windows taskbar.

- (already buggy with groupy 1) I can't use the windows features on visual studio. When i take a tab from visual studio to use the canva, groupy trigger and identify it as a new windows and try to group it.

- (new) 50% of the time, my tabs disapears and I cant click on the tabs. Tabs are still here, group is here, the place for the tab line is here but I cant see or use the tabs.

- (new) When I use on the same screen a groupy stack of windows and netflix (netflix is taking half of the screen or I set it always visible), when I click on a different tab on Groupy, the image disapear on netflix. I need to change my netflix window to make the video appearing again

- (old) I can have on the same Groupy stack different placement for my apps. For exemple I have app1 and app 2 on my stack, on the screen 1. I change app 1 (and so the groupy stack) to screen 2. When I click app 2, it's still on screen 1 and the groupy stack "move"

Thank you for the app

Ok so the tabs issue is still present under windows 10 systems. The tabs dont align properly in the window frames. Its fine under windows 11, but windows 10 is pretty much like before on windows 11. Some themes it works fine, other is sticks out or is shifted downwards.

The link to it is in the first post of this thread.

Thank you,

This is a limitation of the Windows operating system.

What version of Visual Studio are you using?

Child windows from Visual Studio are ungroupable as they have a parent (the main VS window), so Groupy should never even attempt to group them and in testing here I could not make it fail.  What exactly happens (link to video would be most welcome)?

Do you have some other app running which might alter window positions / styles?

Finally are you using the 2.11 beta version of Groupy as this has some fixes which may well impact your final issue.

Still having tab alignment issues with windows 10 machines using windowblinds.

Groupy Tabs.

It seems that regardless if I mark ‘Place Tabs Above’ or ‘Integrate…’, it always places the tabs above. I checked the registry at [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Groupy\Groupy.ini\Groupy] and “MergeTitlebar” does change from 0 to 1.

Ver 2.11

OS: Win 10, 11, Server 2022 (yes, I know)

All, 

Groupy 2.12 (was 2.11) has bee updated:

after i downloaded object desktop software to get the latest update all the settings i made in groupy 2 were lost.

No settings should be lost unless you select the option when uninstalling to remove them.

I would expect that to be resolved yes.

Because Betas have always required a manual install.

True.

You are most welcome and thanks for the feedback.
