Ok, I'm not exactly sure how it happened, I think it may have been when I had a window open partly covering desktopweather, and the clicked on desktop weather. The background turned gray and is no longer transparent. I've refreshed it, closed and restarted it, and even re-downloaded it and replaced the exe, but it still looks the same.

Screenshot

I had standard font smoothing on at the time, although I've tried turning font smoothing off altogether, and putting cleartype back on.

I wanted to take a closer look at the problem by using the taskbar magnifier...but this program does not show up in it when I put the mouse cursor over it!

Your recent neo posts program shows up just fine as does rainlendar. This may or may not help you, but it is interesting. Does anyone else see this?

It could just be a coincidence, but the thing I was talking about earlier may be because of Media Player. I use 6.4 and it seemed to happen when I was watching a show, but when I closed it, the problem went away. It happened twice, but it didn't really happen as soon as the show was playing, which seems kinda weird.

The previous version of desktop weather works fine for me... Is this a message for not having the .net thing because it is 20 megs and I only have 56K running at only 44kps.
According to Matrox's website, "You WILL need the Microsoft .Net Framework." Looks like you'll have to bite the bullet and download it... :) (with a good download manager, it should only take two hours).

Beta 2.3 worked fine for some people, and if it does, stick with it. For others it crashed or stoped responding after a bit. The new .Net version Beta 3 does not have this problem. I should have the ClearType problem and the other "Long" bug fixed real soon, but Im glad there has only been 2 bugs so far.

Matrox,

I downloaded and installed desktop weather beta 3 and I get this problem...Look Here ...and it goes away sometimes, but then it always ends up like the screenshot again. It doesn't affect the performance of the program...the program works fine....but it looks kinda ugly...I guess maybe I'm the only one with the problem. What do you think it could be?...:s

I originally had The Burning Rom's problem of the transparency not working and showing a grey colour. So then I went back to beta 2.

Having hearing someone else has this problem I reinstalled beta 3 to get another screenshot of the problem. However now it wont even show up on my desktop. Runs in task manager as 15mb's.

I managed to change the colour of the grey though by changing the 3D objects box in properties/appearance/advanced in desktop settings to match my black desktop. However as this changes every window in windows I decided this cant be an acceptable fix :D

So back to beta 2 again for now :D

    • Hello, Installed here without issue. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.

    • This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed in a recent interview that the company may have to raise prices on some of its products due to the ongoing memory shortage. While he did not elaborate on the scale of the price hikes, new estimates suggest that Pro iPhone models could become significantly more expensive this fall. The Wall Street Journal and research firm TechInsights have come up with an educated estimate of how much the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could cost after its launch in September. The estimate is based on current increases in memory and storage chip prices. For starters, the iPhone 18 Pro base model is expected to feature 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. According to TechInsights estimates, 12GB of DRAM for the iPhone 17 Pro cost Apple $39 last year. However, for the iPhone 18 Pro, the cost of the same amount of DRAM could soar to $145. Likewise, 256GB of flash storage that previously cost $13 could now cost around $51. Producing a base iPhone 17 Pro reportedly cost Apple around $582, but TechInsights estimates that the production cost of the iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $726. If Apple wants to maintain the roughly 47% profit margin it enjoys on the iPhone 17 Pro, the base price of the iPhone 18 Pro would need to reach $1,371. After standard pricing adjustments, customers could end up paying around $1,299 for the base model. However, that may not be the end of the story. As we previously reported, the iPhone 18 Pro is said to feature a variable-aperture lens, which could cost Apple at least 50% more than the current camera system. The estimated $1,299 price tag does not include the additional cost of this upgraded camera hardware. Once that expense is factored in, the base model could cost at least $1,399. A $1,399 price tag for the base iPhone 18 Pro would represent a significant increase over the current $1,099 starting price of the iPhone 17 Pro. If Apple wants to keep its upcoming iPhones competitive, it may need to accept lower profit margins.
