Overall, the SD programs hog 81% of my CPU. It goes from 99% to 18% after I unload all SD programs.
What works:
CursorFX works well.
WindowBlinds 10 seems to skin everything correctly, including Chrome. Too bad Modern apps can't be skinned. Ugly!
Start10 works great but missing the Run... command entry. In combination with OD or ND you cannot pass in the Ctrl key to invoke the standard W10 menu if wanted.
ObjectDock Plus 2.xx works but very slowly. May switch to Nexus Dock. I will miss Aero Peek howevere, ND doesn't seem to support it.
WindowsFX 6 works. There is a weird glitch if I disable WFX. The desktop temporarily reverts to an older dream image and then resturns to the current one. One other possible side effect I have not yet fully determined is WFX's fault. When I close a dialog, the contents of the dialog disappears first and then the dialog shortly after.
Tiles work perfectly.
Fences is now working. I uninstalled and reinstalled Fences again, this time as administrator and it seems to be working again. There were no errors or warnings during the first reinstall but decided to try admin rights the next time.
What doesn't work:
DeskScapes 8.5 works until the screen sleep kicks in. Upon revival, DS appears to have unloaded. I can start the dream animation again by starting the configuration program, but exiting sometimes pauses the dream again. The right-click menu for resume dream is disabled. It is also a CPU hog taking 20% or more when it's running regardless of the dream.
An uninstall and reinstall of DeskScapes has not fixed the CPU hogging issue.
