CaveBear: We're unable to reproduce the problem here. What version are your video drivers and what skin do you currently have applied?

Mike,

Video drivers are Nvidia ForceWare 91.31 and the skin I'm using is my own (Blue Lagoon), which is available here on WC. However, I applied another skin I had downloaded (Royale Vista) and instead of the Photoshop window resizing, the window titlebar "unskins" itself! There are definitely some weird things going on between Photoshop and WindowBlinds...


Thanks for looking into this.

I have also had the window title bar unskin it's self. This normally happens when I click on the menu bar. It will unskin it's self and then reskin after I make a selection such as file -> open. This started to happen when I loaded WB .016.

I'm having the same problem as CaveBear, but I am unsure to wether it is WB or WFX.

Yeah, same PS "unskinning" for a second here also.

Got same ( similar ) problem with Corel 12 under similar conditions (and only Corel tha I've noticed). The window will just be resizing or unskinning itself upon opening various dlg boxes. WB latest build (016), no WFX. Was definitely not happening with build 014 (skipped 015). NV 91.31 FW drivers. XP-PRO-SP2.

EDIT:
Just restored build 014. Things are back to normal now.

Having same problem with PS CS2

Video card is ATI Radeon and it started only with WB 5.0. Previous version were OK!

I have 9.01 and I could not reproduce the problem. I have different issue. The first time I click on the menu, the window renders like Window Classic. Deactivating, then activating the window makes it translucent.

I too have the same prroblem with Photoshop CS2 along with another little annoyance. My photoshop windows (as in the images I have open) flicker everytime a tool is selected in photoshop or a menu accessed, layer selected, etc, and is really pronounced with multiple images open. It was really annoying one of my graphic design clients who was looking over my shoulder at the work I was doing and somtimes can be a bit distracting to me. My other adobe programs (Acrobat 7 pro, Illustrator CS2, and In Design CS2) do not do this. An obvious fix to this is to add photoshop as a program for windowblinds to not skin, but that would be ugly.

I too have the same prroblem with Photoshop CS2

My photoshop window will not stay in the size I set it, even when maxed. It just shrinks as I work and I have to keep maxing it.

Ah - looks like I'm having the same problem here - Photoshop CS2 seems to start resizing the main Photoshop window itself! As you continue to open files, the main window slowly gets smaller and smaller until only the menu is showing. it does this whether the main window is maxed or not.

I also have the flickering windows and temperamental title bars - I think it's possibly just on per-pix skins?

Maybe it's back to CS1 for now...

(Glad it's not just me then!)

Hello

I do have the same problem here, too, with both softwares:
CorelDRAW X3 and Photoshop CS9 v9.02.

Also, if I open, say like, 15 pictures in Photohop, the computer goes crazy... it takes forever with each file to load, and without WB5 it comes back to normal.

The problem is ONLY with WB5, not WindowFX (wich I've given up for now).

And more: If I choose to unload WB to work with Photoshop and/or Corel X3, my antivirus software (Kaspersky 6) locks up! But that is easy to solve: I just exit Kaspersky, unload WB5, restart Kaspersky and then Photoshop and Corel work fine.

I use Windows XP x64 and the latest ATI Catalyst Driver, in my Radeon x200.

If anyone can solve our problem, we would appreciate.

I can verify that the Photoshop window keeps getting smaller and smaller as you open new documents.

I never noticed it before because I use Photoshop with it rolled all the way up to the top and leave the documents as windows on the desktop. CS2 only requires that documents be in the Photoshop window if it is maximized or minimized, otherwise you can drag it anywhere you wish.

The thing that I really dislike is that with several photo windows open on the desktop, every time I do something, every single photoshop window redraws in a strange ripple motion. However this only happens on my new fast SLI graphics computer. The old computer with the old graphics card that can't do all the features in the Argos skin, so it doesn't do the strange ripple.

Very strange problem. Mine just has flickering document windows and occasional title bar unskinning itself for a moment in PS CS2. I have never had the windows resize themselves.

I have done some troubleshooting and found it only does this on certain skins. Of the skins I have that do it are the Jemaho Vista skin, novun skin, and several others that have transparancy effects on them and such. The only one I have that doesnt do it is the mac os panther skin and a few older ones.

I am thinking it might partly be a hardware issue, since different computers are having different things happen. The computer I use it on is a dell notebook with dual core 2ghz cpu, 2gb ddr2 667mhz ram, and intel gma950 integrated graphics with 254mb max of shared memory. I havent tried it on any of my other computers, I am not sure it would work though with only a single user license for object desktop.

I am sure it will be resolved eventually, afterall it is a beta version of WB.
