I'm having problems with all my software and webpages, with dark modes and flashes of unstyled content. The white flashing is driving me nuts. A similar issue is when loading something, individual objects are published to the screen before they are moved to where they belong (styled). So both issues together, happening constantly, make for a dumpster fire of a computer experience.
For Dopus 13, this wasn't a real problem until recently. Now I'm having a white flash when opening the GUI. (background process running, opening as: default lister). And then all the objects on the screen appear one by one. It's so fast that it looks animated. This is undesirable.
There are some older posts about this, but they seem to be for particular circumstances. I am asking Microsoft about the same thing with their products. I think that I will have to ask Nvidia about a global workaround for all computing: Instructing the graphics card to pause publishing to the monitor until all objects are ready to be used.
I doubt that I will get anywhere with MS or Nvidia. People only seem to care about video game fps. Is there a workaround for Dopus 13?
The problem is Windows. If the application doesn't render the window within a split second (which isn't always possible), then the OS will fill the unrendered area in solid white, even in dark mode, causing flashes when new windows open sometimes.
If Microsoft had any sense, they'd change the fill color to black or dark grey, at least when the OS is in dark mode, but they don't.
It's not something applications can control.
In the normal case where Windows has its animations turned on, and new windows fade/zoom on to the screen, I almost never see the white flash. If those animations are turned off, it's easy to see. So make sure you haven't turned off the animations (in Windows settings, not Opus) if you're seeing the flashes a lot. That's the only way to hide them.
Ya you would think they would know how to do this kind of thing by now.
I've tried the UXTheme patcher but that just made things butt ugly and didn't fix it. I tried it out because the MS dark mode doesn't change the task manager, wordpad etc. for some reason.
There is some registry changes that can be done to change that background fill you're talking about, but I haven't tried that yet.
But that's only a part of my troubles. Have a look at what happens when I change my tabs in Outlook from email to Todo. Every MS program boots up like this too.
Enabling the animations did help Dopus, thanks for that.
I found two places to change them: Show Animations (in settings)
Don't like it though. Too soft and fluffy. I like things to pop and be snappy. But it's better than being blinded out of nowhere every few minutes.
I clicked on a link in the settings. Edge fired up and shot me with a bright white flash of light.
Well, so much for animations. why is everything so stupid
I wonder if I can start suing MS for eye sight damages due to gross negligence.
I get the feeling there is a Nvidia graphics card work around somewhere, I just have to find it. People have been doing this script fix on webpages for a long time now, so they must know how to do it on the graphics card too.
