AppPortal and Win7 aero efects
Hi,
When we run appportal application and run one seamless window app, we are unable to use aero efects on windows 7 desktop like shake windows to minimise all, docking to left/right side...
This is valid for all running apps, not only for seamless window which I know is not supported to use aero glas efects
Is this by design?

Hello,
I've been testing this by using the above method to re-enable shake.
Here is what I found.
Windows "Snap" needs to be enabled for Shake to work.
Seamless Windows break if you Snap them. Eg, if you drag the Window to the top of the screen, windows Snap tries to maximise it and it breaks the seamless window control.
Quest have disabled snap on purpose to stop seamless windows breaking all the time.
So, snap is disabled on purpose and the side effect of this is that shake gets disabled. It might be worth having a look at MS to see if there is a way to keep shake alive when snap is disabled.
Thanks, Andrew.

Hello Robert,
I can confirm I get the same issue as soon as I open a seamless window. It doesn't fix itself onto all seamless windows and full desktop connections are closed either.
However, I had a bit of a look around and I found this setting was ticked "Prevent Windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen"
It's a windows feature that when you tick this setting it also kills Shake.
With the seamless window still open, I unchecked that setting and clicked apply.
Now Windows Shake works again! Yay.
Not sure why we are doing this. I'd recommend raising a case with Support and then they can escalate it to the Dev team to get it raised as a bug.
Thanks, Andrew.

Thanks Andrew
Will take a look at MS to see about shake enable when time will allow. Since it is an issue which still allow non-disrupting work!
Regards,
Robert
