I've stopped using them because of the ghosting, unfortunately. ]]> RE: Glitch with Start Menu in Windows 7 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/glitch-with-start-menu-in-windows-7/?ID=a6202695-f4bc-4732-80b7-b77a46ac0453#18 Sat, 26 Jun 2010 16:37:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/glitch-with-start-menu-in-windows-7/?ID=a6202695-f4bc-4732-80b7-b77a46ac0453#18 DisplayFusion To reiterate, the menus that exhibit this are SEPARATE from the start menu itself, they are an option within the start menu. ]]> RE: Glitch with Start Menu in Windows 7 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/glitch-with-start-menu-in-windows-7/?ID=a6202695-f4bc-4732-80b7-b77a46ac0453#17 Sat, 26 Jun 2010 04:15:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/glitch-with-start-menu-in-windows-7/?ID=a6202695-f4bc-4732-80b7-b77a46ac0453#17 DisplayFusion I just wanted to post an update saying that I can't see a way to work around this issue, without severely crippling DisplayFusion. If this glitch really bugs you, you can disable the Application Hooks. This will cause some of the DF features to stop working though, sorry.

This is bad news, as the only way to avoid this issue is to unload the DF hooks which breaks certain DF features in the process. I'll keep working on the issue, but this might be one that Microsoft needs to fix on their end.

The only thing the instructions above are missing is that you have to go activate the folders options in the start menu properties. Also, an emphasis on before the previous one fades away. I am sure Jon will fix this soon. Till then its not that great an issue, as it effects few users, but it WILL be fixed. ]]> RE: Glitch with Start Menu in Windows 7 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/glitch-with-start-menu-in-windows-7/?ID=a6202695-f4bc-4732-80b7-b77a46ac0453#5 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 15:15:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/glitch-with-start-menu-in-windows-7/?ID=a6202695-f4bc-4732-80b7-b77a46ac0453#5 DisplayFusion How to reproduce the problem:
1. Open Start Menu
2. Click a folder that opens as a menu
3. Move mouse so that it is no longer hovering over the folder that you clicked, the open folder will then close
4. Click another folder (it will open)
5. Click another folder before the one just clicked fades away. It will be blank.

*All items being clicked are ones that open a sub menu
Here is a screenshot video of what the behavior looks like:

it may not be immediately available, i just uploaded it and it is 'being processed' ]]> RE: Glitch with Start Menu in Windows 7 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/glitch-with-start-menu-in-windows-7/?ID=a6202695-f4bc-4732-80b7-b77a46ac0453#4 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 05:58:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/glitch-with-start-menu-in-windows-7/?ID=a6202695-f4bc-4732-80b7-b77a46ac0453#4 DisplayFusion Ok so I'm home and I can't seem to reproduce this. I've clicked on my computer form the start menu and then started another window from the start menu and no glitch. I've had one "explorer.exe" widow open and started one for the start menu to no avail. I've done other methods to no avail. My question is that in your second post you said that a window faded away, what did you mean exactly? ]]> RE: Glitch with Start Menu in Windows 7 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/glitch-with-start-menu-in-windows-7/?ID=a6202695-f4bc-4732-80b7-b77a46ac0453#3 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 03:03:12 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/glitch-with-start-menu-in-windows-7/?ID=a6202695-f4bc-4732-80b7-b77a46ac0453#3 DisplayFusion I should also clarify, if you click a folder, and it opens normal, then wait for it to fade away, clicking another folder will work. Only when you go from folder to folder directly will you get the bug. ]]> RE: Glitch with Start Menu in Windows 7 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/glitch-with-start-menu-in-windows-7/?ID=a6202695-f4bc-4732-80b7-b77a46ac0453#2 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 02:26:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/glitch-with-start-menu-in-windows-7/?ID=a6202695-f4bc-4732-80b7-b77a46ac0453#2 DisplayFusion I haven't been able to test this myself, but I will when I get home in a few hours. If it is an issue it will be fixed in the next beta or two for sure. ]]> Glitch with Start Menu in Windows 7 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/glitch-with-start-menu-in-windows-7/?ID=a6202695-f4bc-4732-80b7-b77a46ac0453 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 23:55:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/glitch-with-start-menu-in-windows-7/?ID=a6202695-f4bc-4732-80b7-b77a46ac0453 DisplayFusion I am currently running displayfusion 3.18 pro on Windows 7 32bit and I am having the following problem:

When I open the start menu and click a folder on the right side, it will be visible as expected, but if I go to another folder it is invisible and only the shadow effect is shown. Clicking within this blank area results in items being clicked as if it were visible and running normally. after closing displayfusion, the start menu works perfectly fine, when I restart displayfusion, the start menu will instantly exhibit the buggy behavior.

I have included a screenshot to show what I am talking about.

I searched this forum for similar threads but was unable to find one, but I apologize if this issue has already been brought up. ]]>
