Reply to Owner draw Uxtheme checkbox drawing issue in DXGL 0.5.14 config application in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

You might notice the dialog for DXGL Config has a regular window border instead of a dialog border on certain WindowBlinds skins. While this is not part of the bug report, I have found it was due to using an incorrect window style for the dialog (I was missing the DS_MODALFRAME style bit in the resource file for the main dialog box). However, fixing this small issue made no difference in the issue I have shown in this video. If there are any code changes to my project yo

[video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beW4FnYmQfE[/video] WindowBlinds 10.65 appears to have an issue drawing the checkboxes owner-draw listboxes and owner-draw combo boxes in the DXGL config application. By opening one of the combo boxes and moving the mouse over the entries, it causes the checkboxes to start working again.

Wincustomize can now be accessed via HTTPS however you are not enforcing it. Chrome will display "Not secure" in the address bar when it detects that there is a password field in an insecure website.

Stardock's own website Wincustomize (which is linked from WindowBlinds) is also plaintext by default, especially for login. Clicking Login pops up "Not secure" on the Chrome address bar.

It's only recently that the forum has been delivered via HTTPS; Stardock has been a holdout when it comes to making us enter passwords into insecure HTTP. In fact, they embedded plaintext HTTP images in the release notice for Windowblinds 10.6 which makes the lock in the browser disappear.

[quote who="masterbas" reply="3" id="3671838"] Does not work with the windows 10 creators update ! window opens and closes after 1 sec and if I install an wba and click on the notification nothing happens [/quote] It helps to give the build number, as Creators Update is still pre-release software. Personally, I am on build 15063.

At the same time, it offers developers a sneak peek into the changes that occur in new Windows builds, giving them opportunities to engineer out incompatibilities. I have noticed quite a few VirtualBox releases that appear to be due to breakage from new Windows Insider builds conflicting with their process hardening. I'm guessing in the case of WindowBlinds, there are internal UI changes being made that while they seem benign enough to the average end user break programs l

Also keep in mind that many Object Desktop programs like WindowFX and WindowBlinds manipulate Windows UI elements in unsupported ways, so compatibility issues can pop up at any time.

You mean those websites for hiding your activity when downloading pirated movies? Just gives another node to get sniffed upon. Maybe a moderator should respond.

They wouldn't be able to tell if someone at your ISP was sniffing passwords on unsecured connections.

Reply to No SSL on forums in Forum Issues Stardock Forums

Any site that has logins and passwords should always have SSL/TLS. It protects sensitive login information from being sniffed out by hackers and other cybercriminals. I didn't enable the forums on my own personal website until I made sure SSL/TLS was fully in place and working. In the end, it turned out to be easier to just make the whole site support TLS 1.2.

No SSL on forums in Forum Issues Stardock Forums

This forum has no SSL/TLS security, even though it takes usernames and passwords. Should be fixed ASAP. Also, the main Stardock site only supports TLS 1.0, and not TLS 1.2.

OpenGL accelerated windows such as Minecraft do not render the window border properly, also in both Windows 8.0 and 8.1. Instead, the border has a "classic" style and is translucent. https://imgur.com/U42jYYr If the OpenGL context is in a child window, for example in my programming project DXGL, the borders render fine. https://imgur.com/2vY0qp2 Using the Window
