When does this take effect when it works? It doesn't for me on Win 10

from Stardock Forums

I, I upgraded from Win 8.1 to Win 10. Tried ShadowFX with an aerolite theme applied (so as to get coloured title bars).

Nothing. Now there's no 'apply' button on ShadowFX's GUI, so having selected the shadow style, do you

a. leave the program running (icon in task bar)

b. close it

c. sthg else

so as to see the shadows?

 

(I have an outstanding request in on this and have submitted logs, but no further response-

[#VHO-348-62330]: A customer has a question/request regarding Stardock's products).

 

Thanks

I've also tried removing the aerolite theme that colours title bars and provides visible borders and reinstalling ShadowFX.

Still no shadows. I do have Aeroglass running... I'm a bit reluctant to remove that.

Can anyone quote examples where this program works?

E,g, 32 bit, upgraded from win 8.1, theme xxxx applied. Thanks!

The Aerolite theme may well not work but in this case AeroGlass may well be causing the problem.

Hi Neil, so I uninstalled aeroglass, quit y'z shadow, removed the theme so I was as near as I could tell back to native win 10. (There was a 1 pixel blue border I don't seem to recall originally, but titlebars were white again.

ShadowFX does nothing, except it lets me choose the shadow style. But no shadows applied.

 

Still hoping to hear from Brad Ather of support about my logs submitted as requested..

The same problém here. Native Windows 10 (clean instalation).

Fences works superb. Shadowfx seems to do nothing.

 

How to apply it?
