Hehe been using it for a few days, even as an alpha build I love it.

The shadows really are fast(usable shadows,yay :)) but right now the minimizing and maxamizing effects are still quite sloooooow hehe, but I'm hoping that will be fixed quickly. If I could I would love to shake the devs hands and complement them on an awesome app :) .

Looks pretty cool! I hope the shadows aren't as slow as the ones made by that XP shadow service (forget what's its called).

But one thing's for sure: I definetly want this little spiny guy on my desktop:

I guess it's DesktopX probably...

The shadows created by that XP Shadow service app are very slow and are virtually unusable. MS put shadows into XP for menus only really and using them on windows which resize & move is a bad idea.

The shadows created by WindowFX 2 are very fast and very usable and much more flexible too. The shadows also work on 2000 machines which is useful.

You know you stardock guys/gals need to really start taking screen shots without windowblinds or desktopx or other things going (Just the program you are displaying) or actually write on the screen shot what else you have running. As i find it quite misleading

And when you post on public BB's links with screen shots people may not know you make all the other stuff and asume the program looks like that when really it has been skinned

    • Not such a great deal, Ultimate, which gives you full 5080 features is $181.99 CAD per month, that's $2183.88 per year, I can buy the 5080 for $1809.99 CAD, then it goes up to $279.99 per month after the first billing cycle. Typical cloud rental, costs more than buying the hardware.
    • Wow, spoken like a true blind hater, you don't even provide arguments. Please, go check my comment above to @seacaptain and you'll find out why what you say doesn't make sense in this context...
    • Get used to this, with AI tooling now uncovering new vulns and getting them exploitable far faster than has ever been possible before software is going to need to be updated far more frequently. Back in the day it may take reseachers weeks or months to do what AI can now do in hours. Once its a threat is discovered it's weaponsized far more quickly, meaning you simply can't be waiting 2, 3, 4 weeks to deploy a patch, it needs to be patched immediately. Going to be interesting handling this in the enterprise space where traditionally patching has been steady, but very staged (and rightly so up until now), that is going to have to change.
    • You don't need to "close all browser sessions constantly" or wait for updates to install. The updates download in the background while you use the browser, without interrupting you, they install automatically the next time you launch the app. And they install very fast (depending on your storage speeds, of course), you have to wait at most 2-3 extra seconds, if any. Seems like you haven't used Edge in a loooooooong time...
