When I enable curtains, my hidden taskbar will constantly flash at a high frequency

curtains; hidden taskbar; flashing

November 15, 2020 9:08:13 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

 

I encountered some problems in the process of using curtains, because I am used to setting the system tray of windows to automatically hide, but when curtains is turned on, the line in the taskbar will keep flashing and strobe, which will Makes my eyes very tired when i worked on my laptop. This situation will not happen in the native state.

Hello,

I still can't reproduce this issue. Already set my 4K monitors to 225% Scaling. I don't see it. But, It might because you have 2 Graphics processor. Please see if you can try this : (Suggested from another user for another Stardock product)

Go into the Nvidia control panel (right-click on the Nvidia icon in the taskbar notification) and select the control panel > Manage 3D settings > Program Settings. Find Curtains (will probably have to 1. Add it manually. Under 2. Select the preferred graphics processor for this program it will tell you which graphics processor the program is using. It will probably be your integrated one. If it is, select the High-performance NVIDIA processor. It solved most of the lag/flickers issue.

Try that and report back.

Thank you,

Many thanks, It may be due to the refresh and tear caused by dual graphics cards. I added curtains to the default core graphics card driver option in win10 system. At present, there is no flicker problem. Thank you very much for your support and help.
