Java windows hate transparent drag

from WinCustomize Forums
If I enable transparency on dragging with WindowFX, Java windows quit working right when they're moved. The frame moves, but the contents stay behind to all appearances, until the app redraws itself for some reason. This is immediately notable with the Java control panel applet.

It's possible -any- WindowFX dragging feature will cause this (animations, etc.) but I'm not running with animations enabled.

The SUN Java JVM has issues with Windows 2000 and XP compatibility.  As in its not fully compatible.

The Microsoft one is compatible, but only supports an earlier version of Java.

Is it possible to detect what Java version is used? Can WFX be made to ignore WFX effects for Sun Java windows?

Yeah. I wasn't all that shocked by the behavior, and pretty much knew immediately what was causing it. However, standard Windows full-screen drag works, so figured it was worth reporting. I haven't tried nVidia transparent drag to see if it has the same issue, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Ok!
WindowFX is not working with Windowblinds 5 pretty well and it's a 3/6/2005 version, it's a beta version anyway. Is there a chance to get it up to date? Are you working on it to get it working? I love Windowblinds and WB5 is great, but I'm missing WindowFX!!!
