That is truly good news ID and I thank you for the heads up. I'll have to reinstall it and give it a try. I know some will consider this useless or just eye candy but when you spend all your time in front of the screen, (disability) It's a much welcome change. Kudos ID.

I had installed on the day of the release and did not know it was causing problem on resume,. My laptop was set to sleep upon a lid close it would restart the HDD's but not the display no matter what I did , I would end up doing a hard restart to get it back.

I installed the update and have put it to sleep 2x no problems now all seems to be fixed.

Thanks everyone ,There are some very nice and productive feartures very smooth interface and intuitive configure panel!!

Great update! Everything is working fine now.

Now if only CFX had a UI like this.

What do you like about this UI vs the CFX one?

The colors and horizontal tabs/buttons used in WindowFX look great and are more consistant with other SD apps like DS and WB and the 3D program icon looks more modern as well.

 They make WFX have a much newer look and feel to it than CFX imho. (really...yellow?)

I agree!

Neil I would be glad to do a few CFX icons for this to see if you like any!!!

@Niel: remote desktop connection acts like every other window when draped to the top edge and to maximize.  This is not the same effect as when you maximize remote desktop.

RD is usually fullscreen with just the yellow tab when maximized:

Is the maximized window the expected behavior?

I suspect so yes, but I will investigate to be sure there is nothing we can do for this.

Thanks for lookign.

A question too.  The slide from bottom/top.  Should that be sliding from the bottom/top of screen or the bottom/top edge of the active window?

The CursorFX UI is certainly older as it was last updated before DeskScapes 3 and WindowBlinds 7 were released.  It is also not part of ObjectDesktop so there is less need for it to match up with the UIs of those apps.

It was a design decision with WindowFX4 that the UI looked similar to the UI in DS3 and WB7 and in fact it is based on the same code as the WB and DS configuration apps, though a different artist did the graphics.

Unfortunately CursorFX is not one of the applications I am involved in.  Of the ObjectDesktop components I work on WindowBlinds, DeskScapes, SkinStudio and WindowFX.

Neil, The darker interfaces seem to have gained great popularity; not just here, but at WinStep Extreme also. They're much easier on the eye. As for a need to match it with WB/Wfx4, I agree that it isn't part of ODesktop, but that isn't a reason not to do it.

Seems to me that no matter which package an app belongs to, SD would want it to look it's best, no?

Have a great weekend, Neil and...enjoy!

*edit: SD could always do a survey, no?

Is it an habit at Stardock to bring newer version on an app removing nice functionnalities of previous version ?? 

I loved the "Maximize to size" functionnalities in WFX 3.0: you can define a limit size of maximized windows and position of them (settings which are done for ALL windows at once !!! )

I was hoping this functionnality would be updated to bring different possibilities of settings coming for example by selecting apps as a list as there's an exclusion list ... But no, it seems it can't be possible anymore (or i didn't see it)

I didn't go much far in the program as i am so disapointed, but i noticed at least:

- no way to load or not WFX4 at startup

- no way to set an exclusion list of app (well anyway as one have to set for each window the settings he wants, i think it's not necessary )

- WindowBlinds can set the RightClick on Window Titlebar to specific action (i'm using it), though, how to use the RightClick features of WFX4 if it's already used by WindowBlinds ?

The features in WindowFX 4 have changed from WindowFX 3 but as you are on XP you should be able to continue to use WindowFX 3 together with WindowFX 4 if you wish.

You can save a maximum size for a given application from the new right click menu.

WindowFX will automatically remember the last state it was in so thats why there is no startup control options.

As well as right clicking, using alt + space on the keyboard should show the right click menu.
