Exclude a Win32 application from Curtains?

I have an application which doesn't completely work correctly with the Curtains styling and would like to exclude it.  I have found an option to exclude/choose specific UWP apps , but not Win32 applications.  Is there a way to do this? and if not, can it be added? Thanks! |-)

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Appreciate if you could list down some of those software. So we can verify it.

Thanks

As Basj has requested, more information on the application would be useful.

It is not possible to exclude a Win32 app as there is nothing for it to be excluded from as the default style IS the curtains style.  In certain circumstances poor design decisions by app authors can be worked around by us however but we would need to know what the app is, what the issue is and be able to reproduce it here.

I have a problem with MSI Dragon Center, it doesn't start when Curtains enabled.

Would be nice if we can disable win32 apps, just like in Windowblinds

Curtains shouldn't be having the slightest impact on that process.

Curtains doesn't work like WB, there is literally nothing to exclude in other apps.

Thanks for your responses.  That's a shame but among other things, it gives us more insight on how Curtains works.

However, in my particular case, Curtains is working as designed and there's nothing to fix on Stardock's side.  It's the application that's at fault as it makes a tool window that overlaps the titlebar and assumes it knows what the colour should be underneath.  With Curtains enabled, it no longer does.

The developer was just looking for an easy way to be lazy and not have to figure out a better solution.  I know this with a high degree of certainty as I am the developer |-) .
