windowFX compatibly problem

Have WindowFX installed, it adds options to the right-click on titlebar menu like so (from windows explorer)

These options are not showing in Dopus right-click titlebar menu, can you fix ?

We don't block those menu items. You'd have to ask the authors of the tool why they don't appear.

Trying to get window transparency like so

can you add it to feature request list, window transparency in 10% steps to the right-click titlebar menu, please.

Why would you want that? In case things are too easy to read and you want to make life harder?

You can probably achieve it with AutoHotkey and force the SetLayeredWindowAttributes with it to lister. I think it might theoretically be even possible to create an Opus Add-In that does this natively, but I'd need to get the hwnd of the lister so it could be messy code, what do you think Leo would that theoretically be achievable (purely as an exercise)?

btw @galaxyhub WindowFX is Stardock's software right? I don't use their software anymore, but lots of years ago I remember they were fairly responsive on their forums, so I'd guess they will most likely respond if you ask them about this issue.

You'll probably see some very odd results if you do that, since we use separate layered windows on top of the main one for transition animations, shadows and highlights in places.

I use a utility called AquaSnap Pro. It has a feature like this. I can either grab the title bar and shake the window and it will be always-on-top and adjust the opacity (you can set the opacity in settings). It also has a hotkey for it (default is CTRL-Windows-Enter). Shake or use hotkey to turn it back off.

It's pretty handy when you only have one screen (like me) but need to see another window's information while working on the window that's semi-transparent and on-top.

Why would you only want one screen? :slight_smile:
