Just noticed this after accidentally clicking the Explorer menu entry, the explorer taskbar would pop up and go into a sort of loop (opening and closing) not sure if its because bb is trying to kill it and its being reopened or some sort of other bug.
Weirdly enough it seemed to be attempting to place "Start menu" in the bar as a running task as if it was any other program. Possible bug when also having Classic Shell installed?
The only way to stop the loop (as attempting to kill explorer or classic shell does nothing) is to CTRL+ALT+DEL and log out.
This does not happen when double-clicking Start or Desktop to bring up the filemanager.
Windows 8.1 x64
BBZero version: Sitalk's setup from here. (I was messing with TWAPI)
It seems there's a memory leak somewhere in bbZero. It starts off by using up ~11 MB of RAM and to some other people will stay between 10 MB and 34 MB of usage. I get a normal usage once it starts, but give it a few days and I get close to 100 MB, which is abnormal.
I change workspaces all the time, and I made an AutoHotKey script I'm running to manage wallpapers between workspaces. It might be completely unrelated to the memory hog problem, but thought I'd mention it. I change wallpapers through bsetbg -full path\to\file.png
.
Restarting the shell through the menu option (Blackbox > Restart) doesn't fix it. To get to normal usage again, I have to quit the shell and start it again, which is a huge annoyance.
why not upload binaries to the releases page here on github? i went over to blackbox4windows but the binaries are behind a login and my account is still pending.
the less barriers to adoption the better chances of keeping bb alive on windows :)
in any case cheers and thanks for all your work!
Special menus (like folders) load in a blocking fashion.
That means they are a) not abortable and b) if they point to a virtual share which might not be available and susceptible to timeout or c) a large folder they take fucking forever to either show 'invalid path' or enumerate their contents.
That has annoyed me forever and totally kills responsiveness when i have to steer my mouse around that 'dead network share' or alike.
Even with Configuration -> Menus -> Always On Top
unchecked a newly created tearoff menu occasionally remains always on top. This happens maybe 1 in 20 times or so and interestingly causes all its child tearoffs to also be always on top.
btw thanks for keeping one of my favourite bits of software alive, much appreciated !

On Windows 8 bbZero currently "hides" the native way of changing wifi networks and possibly other applets.
We should investigate and either find a way to invoke the applets or re-implement their features.
Leave your mouse highlighted over something so a windows tooltip draws in, then use bbkeys to change your workspace. Shadows of tooltips remain rendered across all workspaces. A common bug with workspace managers, and easily reproduced. I use the current build, installed as shell.
Here's an example displayed with tooltips in cs5.
I'll note that manually killing blackbox.exe and restarting it via task manager removes it.
BlackBoxBar runs into an issue similar to #31 after resuming from a suspend.
A soft restart sometimes fixes it, but in the cases it doesn't I need to do a hard restart.
Running Windows 7 Ultimate, theme patched, Japanese locale and time format.
Selects menu elements upon typing
mainly the auto keyword
installer should incorporate the msvc redistributables that are sometimes needed. it should detect if already installed (if possible) and install if not.
meanmechanics notes that the startup performance is poor.
notes from forum:
Icons go through the shell api, so they all use the normal windows loader. It takes about 10-100ms to load an icon first the first time, afterwards they get cached.
20 links in a folder take about 2 seconds to appear.." I remembered afterward that I usually disable icons in menu...
"but the former has to do with the autostart crap which ends up in your systemtray which for some reason every now and again blocks bb when it loads and the latter has to do with the way icons are loaded.."
I was going to report this but was never sure how to formulate, I only noticed that if I load explorer as "shell" tray seem faster than in bb.
norton 2014 and kaspersky 2014 can cause bb to crash/hang on boot
problem is reported on a 64bit build of bbMienMod, but is likely affecting bbZero as well
bbleanbar (i think) has a button to show/hide the system tray.
It would be nice to expand that to an autohide feature
See http://blackbox4windows.com/index.php?/topic/281-automatically-close-tray/
I attempted to clone my settings from the previous build into 1.18 and the plugin has become unstable and crashes blackbox. In addition to not being able to edit settings via the default context menu of ctrl+clicking, the quick launch bar I have created loads properly, then vanishes and becomes a blank empty square. Clicking on it will crash blackbox. I attempted this when blackbox.exe was installed as shell. My settings can be found here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xDemonessx/dotfiles/master/bblean/bbZerox64/bbIconBox.rc
NVIDIA has a GPU activity notification tray icon which allows you to see if a program is running on your discreet GPU.
This is important to me because I need to see if certain programs are running on my discreet GPU and not on my Intel APU. This is mainly needed for people running dual GPU laptops like me. I don't know if the non-primus driver even supports this.
The plugin is located at C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Update Core\NvGFTrayPlugin.dll and C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Update Core\NvGFTrayPluginr.dll
set as shell / do not set as shell is dummy and does not work
When you enable UTF-8 Encoding via the menu option as normal, the ???'s for Kanji and other symbols turns into "î, ÃÂ, ü" (etc) and is converted incorrectly on all plugins and displays. I suspect the implementation of "bbDrawText" may be the culprit, and it may be forcing blackbox to double encode text. This holds true for both being installed as a shell and having explorer as a shell.

Pete is persistent with desire of having split mirrors and gradients.
Jonathan promised to take care of this
bbleanskin does not work properly with aero on.
you cannot turn off aero on win 8 and therefore it applies most in win 8.
When the user maximizes the excel window, bb's toolbar disappears.
Requires more investigation.
Not much to say here, I like to have my icons in a particular order so being able to reorder them with the mouse, instead of moving them around between workspaces would be a really nice enhancement.

some parts of those are not in sync. that being said, my separators are black on black if i set separatorstyle to flat and grey when i set it to bevel
(i have a minimalist light gray-on-black style)
probably they also do not get rendered correctly
There are several issues with bbleanbar which could all be fixed in a drunken night.
multiple transparency layers on menus and other windows
After exiting bb (crash or no crash) and starting it again, sometimes some windows (or all? not sure) do not show up in bbLeanBar/workspace menu.
I guess that it has problems with registering already open 32bit windows, but can't be bothered to check right now.
When I run FL studio for extended periods of time the left half of BlackBoxBar goes black and I need to hard restart bbZero to get it working again.
With hard restart I mean that I have to quit blackbox and restart it via task manager.
