Reply to Darken Background Windows breaks Windows 10 Task View in WindowFX Stardock Forums

It isn't just Darken Windows, I have that disabled. If I have WindowFX turned on, toggling task view causes problems. It doesn't launch (though the screen darkens) and two "Task View" items appear on the Alt+Tab switcher (one for each monitor I suppose) but nothing works. Eventually if I wait long enough, I can Win+Tab and it will bring up the Task View but it is laggy and doesn't work properly. All I can do at that point is toggle it off via the taskbar. If I turn off WindowFX, I can taskbar

Except I set mine this morning and it still isn't there, at least on old posts - which would be odd if the post kept a copy of the avatar-at-the-time. Still seems like a long time..

Sheesh... I finally set an avatar and then it doesn't show up. At least I found this thread so I know I'm not (completely) crazy.

That updated the version. I'll to see if the invisible window issue comes back.

Reply to WindowFX 6 Now Available with Windows 10 Support in WindowFX Stardock Forums

My Object Desktop Manager says my WindowFX 6 is up-to-date and version 6.00, my OD subscription is current, and when I launch WindowFX, it says there are no updates when I check, but the app says "Version 6.0 BETA"... I was coming here to see if anyone else had the same periodic issue with windows going invisible when dragging until WindowFX was toggled off and on but I don't want to open a ticket if I'm somehow stuck on a beta...?

How come my OD Manager says I'm up-to-date, WindowFX says there are no updates, and yet my WindowFX program says it's "Version 6.0 BETA"?

Reply to Object Desktop and Win 7 SP1/Win8.1 -> Win10 Transition in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

True. However, the preview has been around for a while AND there are some Win10 specific SD apps showing up so I would hope they'd considered the transition before GA AND could provide some guidance for folks making their reservation and waiting for it to drop.

Hello?

Object Desktop and Win 7 SP1/Win8.1 -> Win10 Transition in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

I did a few searches and came up empty other than talks about the preview. With several OD apps (Start8/10, SkinStudio8, WindowsBlinds7/8) have OS-specific versions, what's the proper way to transition a machine on Win7 SP1/Win8.1 to Win10 with the in-place upgrade? Are there issues with version-specific hooks that require uninstalling OD apps and then re-installing after the upgrade? Are the apps designed to just go inert if the OS version changes underneath them and then you can uninsta

Well, that's a bummer. I have no idea when I'll be migrating the machine I have this issue on to a post Win7 OS. :(

Same problem with the archive approache. I submitted a problem report with StarDock.

Reply to Object Desktop Programs Stall In Installation in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Huh... Never tried doing that before so I didn't realize you could download straight to an archive. I'll give it a shot and see tomorrow when I'll have a chance to have both machines side-by-side. If it fails in the same place thing it must be something in the install itself.

Reply to Object Desktop Programs Stall In Installation in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

I could but there are a couple of reasons I don't want to do that. First of all is the fact that I'm going from Win2K to WinXP so at least on of the programs that won't install is a completely diffrent version between the two (WindowBlinds) and the other is, I wanted to go with a clean install. Of course, since the download finishes and the install itself won't even complete, I have to suspect there is a chance even this won't succeed. I'll double check if any of the versions

Through regular SDC download. In the past, I've always just installed SDC on a new machine and downloaded all the parts I wanted fresh and then wiped the old machine once I was done with it.

Object Desktop Programs Stall In Installation in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Some ObjectDesktop components such as ObjectBar will download but stall during installation. They seem to always stall in the same spot (unique for each program). Trying to cancel them doesn't work and you have to close Stardock Central. For ObjectBar, it stalls at 5% which is the file "German (Germany).lang". This is a new install on a WinXP machine I'm moving to. Any thoughts?

Reply to Make non-active/non-focus windows transparent? in WindowFX Stardock Forums

Well, I'd obvously prefer it was built into WindowFX and played nice with others... I guess I'll just hope for it to show up in a future release.

Reply to Make non-active/non-focus windows transparent? in WindowFX Stardock Forums

(I couldn't figure out how to edit my post.) Also, is there a way to make the Natural Desktop corner window transparent always? I tried to add it as a per-application transparency setting but it didn't do anything to that window.

Make non-active/non-focus windows transparent? in WindowFX Stardock Forums

Can a feature be added to make all windows but the one that is currently active/has focus transparent? If if this is already there, can someone tell me where the feature is since I seem to be missing it. Thanks.
