RabidVWM Applications Switching Desktops Thread last updated on 2004-03-17 22:03:48

Hello All,
I am a newbie to LiteStep and created my own theme for personal use. I am using RabidVWM 1.1.1 as my VWM running LiteStep on Win XP Pro.
When I switch desktops, some time the application drops down or moves to a different desktop. The application will not stay in the same desktop where it was started.
I read the manual on RabidVWM but could not find any info on why it is doing this.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

do you use WinXP visual styles?
does it happens only with maximized windows?

Maximized windows will follow you around if you have XP styles enabled. It's been a known bug for a long time, there are several threads on these forums about it. If that's the bug you're talking about you'll have to use the classic look to get around it (or don't maximize windows). A fix is being developed, watch the module updates news. :)

I am using XP styles and it was happening with maximized window. I changed the Windows Classic style and that fixed it.
Thanks.
