Hi,

I just discovered and installed flyakitosx. All is working well so far. There is one thing I cannot figure out. Whenever my PC starts up, there is a shadow of a non-existant window on my desktop.

I've narrowed it down to Y'z Shadow because the shadow goes away if I disable Y'z Shadow. Here's a screenshot:

Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

TIA

That can also be a 'ghost' of a window being left behind, which happens sometimes, especially with YZ Shadow. I've had it before.
One way to clean the ghost away is by opening a new window of any sort and wiggling it over it, refreshing the area and elminating the stuck image.
If it doesn't vanish after this, it's more likely a window that left but didn't truly close. Check Task Manager.
If nothing else, you've truly hit YZ's glitch, and sometimes, a reboot's all that will run it off.
But if it happens AT bootup, you're best off finding out and listing what loads at startup. Then one of us could probably figure out what's most likely leaving the ghost laying around.

I really should close this because we've got so many threads on the exact same question. You're lucky your thread has produced some real responses ;).
