Android Question Manifest editor window and other windows are partly invisible/transparent

Serdar K. · Sep 23, 2016

Some of windows are invisible in my second monitor.
When i make a movement with the mouse, or scroll the code, the window content
is seen shortly, then gone again.

This issue was also present in previous versions, but it was resolved in version 5.80 as i can recall.

This is a big problem for me, because i have to move the window to 1st monitor, do my work and close or
move it back to the other window (i am actually working on second monitor because it is bigger than my notebook screen).

I hope this issue will be fixed.

Regards,
Serdar

Happens in 5.80 also. Using Win 7x64, JDK and ADT are 32-bit.
Slide the Designer to the external monitor and I have to mouseOver before being able to read.

In Control Panel, try setting Performance Options/Viisual Effects to 'Let Windows do what's best' instead of 'Adjust for best performance'.
Works for me.

Thank you for your kind response.

It seemed working for me at first time, in an interesting manner, after some testing, i saw
that everything was the same. But i have tested this on TeamViewer, i will test everything on monday again.

By the way, i am using Windows 7 64 bit too. One interesting thing is also, that this bug disappeared in one
version, may be it was 6.00, i am not sure.Anyway, i wouldn't prefer to go back.

I will let you know if this is solved when the PC is available for me.

Thanks and regards,
Serdar

It is not related to the B4A version as it is a display driver issue. Try to update it to the latest version.

Hi Erel, i recently updated the driver and before installing the latest version, the visual problems didn't come up lately(before and after the driver update). But i will still try your suggestions on Monday again.

Thanks and best regards,
Serdar

imho it's definitely not a B4a thingy , it's how Windows and .NET implement AERO.
The video driver cannot overide AERO.

Team Viewer is a great collaboration tool but now you need someone doing version control to insure that everyone has the same B4aExample.meta file also Files and Objects folders. Pardon me if you are not using Team Viewer for development.

Hello, I am using TeamViewer for remote access, but sometimes i am using it for development when i am far from my development computer.
I checked your suggestion over it, so i still need to check those settings on the real computer, it is worth a try.
I will also try the driver version as Erel mentioned.

Somehow i should solve this issue to be able to work comfortably on the external monitor.

Thanks & regards,
Serdar

I tried some combinations of the settings today, and saw that setting "Enable desktop composition" and "Use visual styles on windows and buttons" works
well. If i uncheck one, the problem occurs again.

Thanks for the suggestions and the solution.
