Request: Support for "Actual Window Manager"


Recommended Posts

I'm using this awesome tool for windows called "actual window manager". it hooks into the window and provides additional options and control.

publisher and designer´crash though when the tool trys to hook their windows, the tool works on pretty much all other programs without problems. would be supernice if you guys could look into it , i guess its only something small  to resolve.

Thanx

Perhaps more appropriate to suggest to the developers of Actual Window Manager that they debug their code, and fix it so it doesn't cause issues with the Affinity programs. It should be their responsibility to work properly with the programs they try to control, rather than the responsibility of all programs to work with Actual Window Manager (and any other alternative window manager that may be developed).

well normally yes , but in this case actual window manager already complies to the standard windows ui api, thats why it works with all other progs  ... affinity seem to have build their ui with some additional libraries which conflict with actual window manager and other similar tools.

 

since affinity progs are compiled, affinity would need to share their sourcecode with the AWM developers, which might be problematic . or they would need to hack or emulate that, which is probably not good

 

of course i wrote the AWM devs too on their forum. but i think this is easier handled by the affinity team .. maybe its not possible at all , that they used a complete different ui and not the windows one
