Directory Opus

June 5, 2011 7:53:19 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hi all,

I'm having an issue with WindowBlinds and Directory Opus. When the Opus window is maximized, the uppermost toolbar/menu gets a little buggy. The top portion of the toolbar gets dropped to about fifty percent transparency. If the Opus window is not maximized, the top toolbar displays fine.

This only happens with certain skins, like 7 Zone which I'm using now.

Is there an easy fix for this issue? I tried approaching the problem through the Directory Opus support forum, but they said the issue is beyond their control... 

Thanks!

The only solution to that problem is to put DOpus in your list of exception from WB (which you probably don't wish to do). DOpus does have skins of it's own... I've learned to live with it's basic (fugly) skin. The program is just that good.

Maybe Jafo has a solution to that one... but I wouldn't bet on it. Sorry, garbanz0.

Do you understand why it's happening? Maybe if I could approach GPSoftware with a little more information about the issue, we could get it fixed on their end.

It's strange to me that certain skins display fine, but others do not...

It's probably tied to the size of the graphic used for that part of the skin. Dopus may have issues if it's not the same height as a normal aero title bar. (Just a guess)

I don't think it has anything to do with the image size. I've used dozens of different Visual Styles, many with very slim titlebars, and none have ever presented a problem. Only select WindowBlinds skins cause the glitch.

 

EDIT

If I tell WB not to skin titlebars for dopus.exe then the toolbar displays just fine

Have the same here. Maybe the problem is, that DOPus IS in the internal per app list of WB and something's going wrong there ? Just a wild guess.
