Widgets disappear at launch

Open benjcolombo opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Each time shutdown and restart the app, my widgets disappear. They seem to be loaded because I can access to the web development console and they briefly flash when the app load. They also are present in AppData/DropMeter/loaded.json. If I go to AppData and delete the layout configuration in DropMeter/ldata, I can reload them, but I have to reconfigure them from scratch (size and position).

Other useful info:

  • I use Wallpaper Engine at the same time
  • I have two screens, but the issue is the same regardless of what screen is used

This is probably caused by the dual screen setup. For some weird reason, the Win32 Positioning API is acting up and throwing the windows outside of the monitor boundaries when two monitors are present. Now, since this is handled by Windows Code (and not by the app), it just shouldn’t happen. I am still looking into possible solutions for those issues. Thanks for using DropMeter and I am sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused.

Well, I made a few tests and even if I disable a screen, I am facing exactly the same problem. If it is useful, maybe i could provide you a copy of my DropMeter's AppData folder for debugging.

That's sad that the project is not usable for me at the moment. That's a great project and I am really looking forward to see what this will become.
