Hi!
I have the same problem.
When i use WindowFX3 beta with WB5, my folderwindows are empty.
When i start any program (Nero, e.t.c.), all empty.



When i unload WindowFX, works WB5 correctly.
When i unload WB5, then WindowFX works also correctly, but not together.
What´s wrong?
What can i do?
I come from germany and my english is very bad, sorry.
Hope, you understand me.
thanx matthias

P.S. my sys.: P4 3Ghz, 2Gb Ram, ATI X800XT with new Omega-driver,
WindowXP pro with SP2

Hoi Folks! I am still expecting the same problem (invisible windows or invisible window content) while using WinFX Ver. 3.00.013 and WindowBlinds Ver. 5.01d. This is reproducible with HDTV2MPEG (Link) and QuickPar (Link) for example. Any suggestions will be very appreciated.

TIA, Tobias



Edit: Typo

same problem ive had with window fx for past 3 years. your the 1 st ive seen that adresses the problem as opening invisible windows!!.
that is exactly what it is and the bad news is if its doing now in the newast version then someone needs to contact custome support, tell them the forums are loaded with this problem blah blah. i love the program and mine still opens the dam invisible windows and i have most kool features turned off ,as it hogs down my pc to much.so dont let anyone fool ya it does hog on your system. contact me if you need to. cliff. zeebee1@comcast.net

Right click on the windows icon in the taskbar, click Set Window Transparency and untick 'Make this window semi-transparent' even if the slider is at 100%.
Works every time

Hi

I can also report the same error. I run Windows FX 3.0.0.013 and windowblinds 5.01

/M

Did the new build help?

Unfortunately, I did not work for me

I removed the old version, cleaned up the registry entries, reinstalled this "all-new" august version, and still my windows and menus are transparent.

The only thing that works like a charm here in WindowFX is the transitions, BUT I have to turn all EVERYTHING ELSE so it can work.

It seems to me that that are still lots of work to do.

So far, for me, WindowFX is frustrating... unfortunately.

Come on, Stardock! Show us what you're capable of! Give us everything you got!

Does anybody know WHEN a new version could be released???

I don't have nVidia software here, I'm using a HP Pavillion zv6000 notebook (Athlon 64 3500+, 1Gb RAM, 100GB HD), with built-in ATI Radeon x200 video card. I'm using the latest drivers (Catalyst v6.8) in Windows x64.

Enabling any of the transparency settings in WindowFX causes both my menus AND dialog windows to turn invisibles. For example: with WFX active, if I click on properties on my desktop to reach the "Display properties", the window does not appear to me, altough it is opened, wich I can confirm pressing ALT+TAB.

I'm also running on startup Kaspersky AntiVirus x64, WindowBlinds (works like a charm!) and Logitech SetPoint x64 software.

I used to have Windows 32bit in my system, but x64 is at least 30% faster then XP x86, and that really makes difference to me.

Anyway, if someone knows a tip...

Thanks a lot!

The apps are installed in the 32 bit program files folder because the installer app is a 32 bit process.  This has no impact on the apps.

Additionally due to how 64 bit Windows works, 32 bit components have to be included with many of our apps as well as 64 bit ones.  In general we port those bits which need porting and leave the remainder as 32 bit as this reduces testing required.  For example wbconfig is 32 bit on all platforms as it has no need for a 64 bit address space!

I notice both reports since the update are on 64 bit Windows, so there may be an additional problem on that OS.  WB and WFX Beta updates tend to be for 32 bit Windows only as the vast majority of our users use 32 bit.  Release updates & RCs are when the 64 bit files get updated.

Hi Scheer,

I agree with your comments relative to a stable platform and who reall cares where the files are located. I just want the ting to work! As for the older version on WindowsFX, while in Stardock Central, I just used the Restore Archive function under the File Menu and then selected WindowsFX. 2.89 was the version available and it works fine for me.   

Hope this helps,

Dave

stier33: Your WB is very old, you should update to WB 5.1.
