I dont know how to explain but, if i open "Show running applications in this dock" feature causes a glitch. When i minimize an app and open it back, a white titlebar shows up for a short time. Its not a big issue but at dark mode, its really easy to see it and its so obvious. Is this a Nexus bug, or is my computer too dumb to do basic things.. :D . I cant show the image of it because its too short to take a screenshot. If i cant tell what i mean, ill try to take a picture of it.

Sorry but its not clear what you mean - are you referring to toggling the "Show running applications in this dock" option, toggling the minimisation state of an application, moving over the icon of a dock item, .....

Various actions can generate informational messages or tooltips - some of which can be disabled.

Need a bit more context I'm afraid - preferably including which WinStep product / version you are using.

You are quite right, techlobo. Context and application (i.e., Winstep Xtreme, NeXus Ultimate, or the free version of NeXus) and version number, as well as Windows version (and 64 or 32 bit), are always useful and often essential in dealing with a problem.

I have already earmarked this for the 'Guidelines and Hints & Tips' section of the upcoming forum rules. :) (I think this section may well be much more important and useful to most people than the actual simple rules.)

Apparently this is related to the "Nexus causing flickering in many programs" topic.

Follow the link for a solution.

This happens because when the "Show icons of running applications as window thumbnails" the Winstep application needs to take a 'screenshot' of the window in order to generate the thumbnail icon image.

It does this by using the PrintWindow API call since the XP days without issue - not sure yet why it's causing trouble for some people now, as I am not seeing it here either.

Either Microsoft changed something or you guys are running some other software that interferes with this feature.
