While ARC is open, its icon in present in the MacOS dock, as expected. However, every time I click this icon while ARC is not in focus, rather than simply focusing ARC, it opens an entire new window. How can I stop this annoying behavior?
There was a bug, which is already fixed. (https://github.com/advanced-rest-client/arc-electron/issues/70)
You should upgrade to the latest version.

I adopted the code from this answer in order to draw an overlay window, which stays on top of all windows, always. But I find that this window keeps flickering whenever there is a keypress or a button click. I wanted to know if this can be stopped somehow. Increasing the time did not help me, as my terminal was frozen for few seconds when I increased time to 5000000000
The code was tested on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
I could not find a solution using the XComposite suite of functions. However, you can easily achieve the same effect with (in my opinion) much more flexibility and pure X11 via CWOverrideRedirect. You can see example usage for it here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/57780772/4204557
I have ubuntu 12.04 and mono 2.10.8.1 in my Linux PC.
I have one .NET application which continuously capturing image from camera connected in my development board.
It is working fine without any issue if i don't move my GUI windows which is continuously capturing image. But when i moves the tab to another window and get back to mono GUI window at that time GUI can not be refreshed and doesn't display live image from camera.
Also, I have also put one panel in which some data like frames and seconds are also going to displayed fine when application is running properly without moving tab to another window. But when i moved the tab into another window at that time same issue caused here that frames are also not going to refreshed in to that panel.
SO, does any one have idea about what is happening in this condition?
Is there any limitation about mono to refresh GUI window or something else?
Please let me know if any one have update as soon as possible.
I'm using xCode 4.2 on a MacOS X Snow Leopard, and I need some help dealing with the IDE.
Are there any settings for the following:
After I click on project navigator, I want it to be visible. Every time I build the project however, the panel is switched to the issues navigator. Is there a way to make the panel stay still?
When I press Shift+Win+C to show the debug area, I want it to be visible. Every time I do something (not sure what exactly causes that, it just happens), the debug area is hidden. Is there a way to make the panel stay still?
When I press "View->Utilities->Show utilities", I want it to be visible. Every time I do something (not sure what exactly causes that, it just happens), the utilities panel is hidden. Is there a way to make the panel stay still?
P.S. Am I the only person experiencing those issues with xCode?
I'm trying to use an existing internal WPF application (I do have access to the source), but it was developed on XP and I'm using Windows7 64-bit.
When I click (for instance) the File menu, 90% of the time I see no drop-down menu at all. The menu still exists - I can use the arrow keys to navigate up and down and choose an option if I happen to know the order of the options, but nothing renders at all.
The other 10% of the time, the menu or some portion of it DOES render, but as I move the cursor up and down I get graphical corruption or disappearing options until I end up back at the "no menu is visible at all" state.
This is also true of combo boxes within the application - they show no data when I drop them down, but I can arrow down and choose an entry.
Microsoft has some advice about WPF rendering issues here but none of these steps has helped with my issue.
Edit: a coworker running Windows 7 sees the menus just fine... he has a different video card, so I'm curious whether this is video-card specific.
This also sounds similar to an issue we had seen in XP, where comboboxes (or menus) would not display properly some of the time. There is a Microsoft hotfix (for at least one flavor of it) here, but unfortunately it is for XP and WS2003. I'm not sure if this could point you in the right direction.
The link to this hotfix was found in this MSDN thread. I am not the author of this particular link, although I do remember raising this issue some time (and a different job) ago.
It turns out that in this specific case, the issue is only present on boxes that have a GeForce 6800 video card. Updating drivers has no effect, but switching to a 7800 makes the issue go away.
I have no idea why this is the case, and I haven't found any information online about 6800-specific graphical issues in Win7 64, but our testing and experimentation shows this is the factor that causes it.
Crazy.
See this question. It's probably a problem with a DropShadowEffect, removing the Effect should fix the problem.
I second that the issue is related to NVidia Windows 7 x64 drivers. Recently I had to replace my video card. Now I have Quadro FX 3400 with the latest drivers and am seeing similar behavior. WPF ComboBoxes don't render dropdown portions. I can only switch values with keyboard after a few attempts. It could be Direct2D-related issue. I also had to turn that off for Firefox to start working again.
I'm having problems with the rendering of a WPF app over a remote desktop connection.
The applications chrome is rendering, but none of the content is coming through, as if the window is not drawing. Instead the previous content of the screen is showing in it's place.
This has been a problem with the application running on both Vista & Win 7, with remote control being taken from XP and Win7.
The problem is not application specific, if I create a new WPF app, with just a textblock on the window, it will also not run. (Neather will the windows preview in VS2008 display.)
Is there some trick to getting WPF running under RDP?
I read on Kevin Dente's blog (from a twitter post) that he was having trouble with WPF apps in virtual machines. While not the same as Remote Desktop, it's possible the problem could be the same. Kevin was able to fix his problem by disabling hardware accelleration by creating a DWORD registry value at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics\DisableHWAcceleration
and then setting it to 1.
His original blog post is here: http://weblogs.asp.net/kdente/archive/2009/10/19/visual-studio-2010-beta-2-editor-performance-fix-running-on-a-virtual-machine.aspx
That may not be your exact solution, but maybe it points you in the right direction.
WPF should render over RDP; it's smart enough to know when it can render in hardware, and when it can't it reverts to its own GDI+ based software rendering. I would make sure you're running .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 on the remote machine, since there were changes to remoting that might pose issues. (See link below.)
I've been developing a WPF app for the past 6 months and it works just fine over RDP. (From Vista and Win7 to XP, Vista and Server 2003.) One important caveat, however, is that it renders using the Classic theme. So if you're using controls that don't have a classic theme, they won't render. If you're just dropping a TextBox on a Window, then obviously that's not your problem.
Check out this question for some links that may be helpful: Are there problems with rendering WPF over Remote Desktop under Windows XP?
I just had this problem with the ribbonwindow not displaying correctly when testing for the first time via RDP - the transparent background was white, the close minimize/maximize buttons were missing, the rounded corners on the bottom of the window were square, and the top row of ribbon buttons were almost impossible to select.
Turns out there was a simple fix for me. Right-click the RDP connection icon (I have it saved on my desktop), select "Edit", then the "experience" tab, and change "detect connection quality automatically" to "LAN (10 Mbps or higher)".
This fixed it for me.
Ade
Did you also try Win7 latest RDP - Win7 connection? The thing is WPF doesn't use GDI to draw elements.
VNC clients (like UltraVNC) probably will do the trick for you as they using much simplier algorithms more like of sending bitmaps.
I have the same problem than the asker. The standard, out-of-the-box Checkbox is not rendering correctly. I can only see if it is checked when hoovering the checkbox. Otherwhise, no difference between checked and unchecked. Important note : It occurs when setting the foreground to white (see here : https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/1c03db49-7e53-4cbb-9dd1-b328017c4453/wpf-checkbox-and-radiobutton-check-mark-not-showing-under-xp-windows-classic-theme-and-remote?forum=wpf)
Our application used to have this problem with a custom progress bar.
We fixed this by setting the background color of the Border control to White. This leads me to think there is an issue with transparent backgrounds
There is no special trick needed to get WPF content to show across remote desktop. Our WPF-based app renders just fine over RDP (tried from numerous machines) with no problems. We're even using animations, gradients, WriteableBitmap, etc. w/ no problems.
