WB 5 client area and .NET Applications

from Stardock Forums
Using applications that run on .NET 1.1, the client area of windows does not restore from the minimized state properly. In addition to my own apps, the commericial application I'm using is JetBrains' Omea Pro (http://www.jetbrains.com/omea/). When I restore the app, the entire client area is condensed into the top-left corner of the restored window, with the status bar on top of the menus. All I have to do is resize the app to get the client area to paint properly. This happens with even the most simple WindowsForms apps.

I would take a screenshot of it, but I can't figure out how to get a good screenshot with all that Alpha going on. What does screen.exe do in the WB directory? I would have thought it takes a screenshot, but it doesn't seem to.

Seeing the same thing here with the app I'm working on here at work.. BTW, if you have right-click set to roll-up/down you can roll the window up and then roll it down and the contents will come back.

Phew, I'm glad it's not just me.


Regarding the screenshot, I know I can get one, but it doesn't capture all the transparent window borders and titlebars, does it?


Oh, it does! Well ain't that something.

Interesting. I just observed this problem does not happen with the RustyRooster WB5 skin.
