Tips Regarding Shellwm

Please feel free to post all your tips and tweaks for ShellWM here..

Here's one I have. It's regarding using shadowing apps with ShellWM. If you are not getting shadows using Y'z Shadow or WindowFX2 add them to the exclusion list (for WindowFX2 add wfxload.exe to the exclusion list)

If you still do not get shadows unload ShellWM, unload WindowFX2 and then reload ShellWM....Make sure that you load ShellWM first, apply the skin, close all explorer windows and then run WindowFX2.....you should get shadows now.

Unfortunately there are bugs with using WFX2 such as the shadow not disappearing when you drag a window etc.

Any more tips or experiences using ShellWM would be appreciated.

If you wan't to view the display properties add comctl32.dll to the exclusion list. I'm not sure if I read this in a readme... All the same it's really usefull.

Cheers.
