Alrighty, thanks for the response Neil! [e digicons]B)[/e]

I'm guessing this is impossible due to how Windows works, but I'm wondering if there's a way to make an image tiled over the titlebar? As in how you can tile an image on the Desktop background or on a web page. I made a Christmas style last month, using a small repeated plaid pattern, and it looked pretty good in some windows: But in others, it got scrunched a bit: <img src="https

In File Explorer, if I search for a file with an ampersand in the name, with transparency/background blur enabled, the ampersand is interpreted as an accelerator and shown with an underline. In addition, the search highlight is in the wrong position as it's calculating for the ampersand. For example-- Without blur/transparency: With blur/transparency: <img src="https://i.imgur.co

In the Advanced properties... under Taskbar, there is an option for 'Blur' for the Taskbar transparency mode: Originally I was going to post that this Blur option didn't work, but then I read in this other thread that suggested Start10 might be needed. I installed Start10, and sure enough, th

On the physical install, the only thing I'm running now is Curtains, but this install isn't new, I've done tweaks in the past and TranslucentTB, and even Start10 installed before, but not presently. On the VM I tested on, which is what was used in the gif I uploaded above, it is a brand new install for this testing purpose, there have been no other installations, no other utilities and no tweaks done. Although I've installed WB on it since to see if the problem occurred there t

Thanks for checking on my behalf basj, much obliged [e digicons]|-)[/e] . I have to say that's a real shame, ignoring my previously mentioned personal preferences, I would've liked to have Curtains as an answer for an IRC client I sometimes help support, where the question of how to change the MDI styling is often asked.

I noticed in Curtains that none of the styles seem to affect MDI windows. Is this possible in some way I haven't figured out? I understand Curtains works differently from WB (where it does work) and it might not be possible, or it could be a v2 feature, but speaking for myself, I certainly am quite tired of the not-so-appealing basic/aero lite theme on MDI windows. In the past there have been some great themes/styles (both for WB and without) that have made MDI win

Thanks for checking and posting the example for me. Unfortunately, I'm still at a loss, I can't duplicate this at all. To make sure i was doing a proper test, I installed a brand new version of Win10 x64 2004 in VMWare, ran WU, then set the taskbar to small icon mode and never combine buttons like you have, then installed Curtains, then switched to the Midnight style, then copied over nircmd.exe, issued the same parameters, and this is what happens to me: <img src="https

I've tried out quite a lot of styles and experimented with my own over the past few weeks, but one overall issue I've experienced is with windows wanting attention and how Curtains handles that situation on the taskbar buttons. As everyone knows, sans-Curtains, when a window wants your attention it will start blinking orange on the taskbar button and depending on how the software called the API (FlashWindow/FlashWindowEx) and your registry settings (default is 7), it will stop blinkin

Thanks for your responses. That's a shame but among other things, it gives us more insight on how Curtains works. However, in my particular case, Curtains is working as designed and there's nothing to fix on Stardock's side. It's the application that's at fault as it makes a tool window that overlaps the titlebar and assumes it knows what the colour should be underneath. With Curtains enabled, it no longer does. The developer was just looking for an easy way

I have an application which doesn't completely work correctly with the Curtains styling and would like to exclude it. I have found an option to exclude/choose specific UWP apps , but not Win32 applications. Is there a way to do this? and if not, can it be added? Thanks! [e digicons]|-)[/e]

Just a quick suggestion. I was attempting to reproduce my shadow from ShadowFX in the Shadows configuration area of Curtains. But unlike ShadowFX, the changes do not immediately appear, and instead, you have to click the "Apply changes" button every time. That's understandable, but I was surprised there isn't an accelerator key so I can make changes with one hand on the mouse, and press a keyboard shortcut (like Alt-A, or Alt-P) to apply the changes with the other hand, and

As it hasn't shipped yet, you need to enable "Show beta downloads" to see it in the Settings. See also these more detailed instructions posted before too.

The event log shows that after 8 DWM crashes (event source: Dwminit) it gives up on the video driver and switches over to the basic driver (Microsoft Basic Display Driver), where it still keeps crashing. I wondered about this, so I switched to the basic driver to start and was still able to trigger the problem. The basic driver doesn't work in a Hyper-V VM so I couldn't test that there. I assume the dump gets deleted because it gets sent up to Microsoft, but here

Disclaimer: Yes I know Insider Builds aren't going to be supported, I'm just posting this as a bug report and to help others. In the last three builds of Windows 10: 14942, 14946, 14951, ShadowFX has broken my Windows install in that when the ShadowFX service loads, dwm.exe crashes, crashing that user session to end, then dwm restarts, crashes, restarts, indefinitely, making the system unusable. During Windows upgrades this happens at the 76% point, immediately killing

I've had this problem since the original 6 beta, 6 release and 6.01 beta. Did a support request at 6 release, got a very bad answer so gave up on that. Also did a clean install and like everyone else, this made no difference. I get maybe 1-2 hours of working WindowFX before I notice it's broken. Using a Radeon HD 5700.

[quote who="adamhelman" reply="3" id="3595178"] A reboot seems to clear the issue until I sleep it again [/quote]I have the same issue and opening the WindowFX window, moving the toggle to Off and then back to On solves it for me. I can't say it's too fun having to do this 2-3 times per day though.

Been using this beta all week and it's been pretty good. It could very easily be a placebo effect as I haven't used WindowFX since the Win10 betas started, but it seems noticeably smoother. The major issue i have is that the animations frequently just stop working (I haven't discovered anything in particular that triggers this yet). When this happens, any animations I've turned on simply don't execute (ie. you close a window and it disappears with no an
