Bug: transparent images overlap on each other

[ccrowles]

Basically when scrolling through photos, some transparent images start to "stack" on each other.

To better explain what i mean, I made a gif showing what happens when I scroll through my folder's images:

Does this happen always happen with partially transparent image files?

[riyasy]

I checked with some random downloaded partially transparent PNGs from internet and could not reproduce the issue. If you can share some sample images with which I can test, it would be helpful.

[ccrowles]

Certainly! I can put the transparent pngs that were giving me the error in the video in a zipped archive: pngs with issues.zip

[riyasy]

I could not reproduce the issue in my PC. Can you check using the latest version released today ?

[ccrowles]

Uh... I installed the updated version but now FlyPhotos doesn't start at all.

Can you uninstall and do a clean install ? Did you update or was it a clean install?

[ccrowles]

I now updated and did a clean install, FlyPhotos works but the issue is not fixed. Those images still overlap...

[riyasy]

Thanks for checking again. I shall check again in the same order as yours..

[riyasy]

Are you using some desktop customization tools? If yes can you check with them turned off if possible?

[ccrowles]

I'm not sure what exactly would you define as deskop customization tools, the only thing that I can think of that interacts with windows explorer is Nilesoft Shell, which changes the context menu. But it happens even when disabling it.

[riyasy]

I saw a transparent taskbar, decorative calendar and weather widgets etc in the screenshot and thought may be some tool was used to customize the desktop.

[ccrowles]

Oh you mean Rainmeter? Those are Rainmeter widgets. Even closing rainmeter, the issue remains.

[riyasy]

Ok. I shall check on my side again. Thanks.

[ccrowles]

Ok! I also disabled TaskbarX, which was what affected the taskbar transparency (completely forgot about that), but the issue still persists even when disabling it.

Lol, I'm having the same problem (accidentally came to this thread before I even installed the program) Windows is only like 1-2 days freshly installed. All drivers/dependencies are installed. Intel/Nvidia gtx 1070 level computer.

Opaque pictures displays - perfectly. But in the folder “C:\Program Files\RYFTools\Fly” icons overlap each other. Checked with other transparent images - same problem.

Switching the “window background” setting didn't help. There are no errors in the log file. I decided to switch “Windows > Personalize > Colors > Transparency effects” for fun - didn't help.

I understand. But I am not able to reproduce the issue in both Windows 11 and Windows 10 machines at my disposal. Since directx is being used for rendering, I suspect if this has got anything to do with Graphics card and all. Anyway I shall check the drawing code once again and do some cleanup between image switches. https://postimg.cc/vc801Xvd https://postimg.cc/5XTgRJWx
