Groupy hiding Top line with PowerToys

July 18, 2020 12:38:08 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Groupy is grouping ok - but when I use it with MSoft Win PowerToys FancyZones (essential to manage my wide screen) it hides the row of tabs. See video link below.

Consistently, Groupy's top row of tabs (the applications) are above the visible screen, and I have to manually drag them down - then also have to shorten the screen. This happens everytime I reboot my computer, or bring back apps.
Annoying. 

Please help Groupy play nice with FancyZones.

Groupy 1.37 beta should resolve this.

It should be available in your Stardock downloads.

Hi, this was previously working, but Groupy + FancyZones again seems to be hiding tabs off the top. Groupy 1.49 and PowerToys v0.43.0.4. Any tricks to get the vertical window sizing to respect the tab interface?

Not sure if this is your problem because I couldn't get to your video, but Groupy tabs are not included in the Fancy Zones. In other words, the main window snaps to the zone and the Groupy tabs show above the zone. If you have your zones set to the very top of your monitor, the Groupy tabs will be off the screen. Lower your zone enough for the Groupy tabs to be visible when you snap to the zone.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Have you tried the Groupy V1.5 Beta? https://forums.stardock.com/506096

Thanks

Thanks, but I only have the single program and do not use Object Desktop. I will have to wait until v1.5 is out of beta.

I am currently having this issue.  Windows 10 Home version 10.0.19042 and Groupy version 1.5.  The issue appears to be that Groupy creates the groups above the title bar and doesn't move or resize the window such that if I have a window that is already snapped to the top of the screen and I have Groupy group windows then it will put the group tabs above the bounds of the display, above where the title bar of the existing window is and I cannot access the tabs with my mouse.  This does not happen when I group the windows with Groupy first and then snap the windows to a specified zone in FancyZones as the tabs appear very top, but are on screen now and accessible with my mouse.

I believe this is known issue. I believe the Dev is looking into it. You can use the "Combine if possible" mode to help on this issue.

Thank you,
