Annoyance footprint for "groupy tabbed" window changes from original window footprint in Groupy Stardock Forums

Groupy2 is amazing, ALMOST perfect. The one constant annoyance I have with it, is that when I have a non-groupy window, placed just where I want it, and I "add" another window as a groupy tab... the groupy tab ends up taking up space above the original window placement, which often goes off my screen. I would like it better if, when a groupy tab is added to a window for the first time (by dropping another window on it), the full-footprint of the new window+groupy tab was the s

Control over *all* 4 tab activity colors please.. in Groupy Stardock Forums

Currently, groupy uses 4 tab colors, but we can only set two of them... (when there is no background bar) 1. active window - active tab (focused tab color) 2. active window - inactive tab (darker version of focused tab color) 3. inactive window - active tab (lighter version of unfocused tab color) 4. inactive window - inactive tab (unfocused tab color) I want (2 & 4) the "inactive tab" states to always be the same color..However, th

Reply to Groupy 2.12 Release Feedback Thread in Groupy Stardock Forums

Auto-grouping feedback. (1) Please give us a way to use the really easy saved-group UI features (like right clicking on a groupy tab to add to group) for groups which auto-add windows to group. (2) Why? The only reason I ever made a saved group in Groupy1 is to auto-add windows, but Groupy2 saved-groups do not auto-add windows. The UI for saved groups is really really nice and easy, where I can just right click on a window-title to add it to a sa

There is a subtle issue that makes it nearly impossible to resize a window from the top when "add a background bar to the tabs" is enabled (the default). Groupy v2.12 - windows 11 - 22H2 (OS Build 22621.2506) Video is the easiest way to understand the problem... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEw-QZTaAz0 Explanation: When I mouse to the top of a non-tabbed window (with no bar), the top-resi

get icon from exe/process if window has no icon (Spotify) in Groupy Stardock Forums

When a window is "custom chromed" and has no window-icon, it would be nice if Groupy would get an icon for the window from the app / process / taskbar icon... For example.. Spotify, which is a pretty darn common app... has no window icon... so groupy doesn't show one, but it does have an applicaiton/taskbar icon. Here is a screenshot of a spotify window in groupy with no tab icon... https:/

Reply to request: "inactive tab should use inactive color for that window" in Groupy Stardock Forums

The one downside of this direction is visual aesthetic of "rainbow colored tabs" that will occur when multiple tabs like this are grouped together.. I thought of a good idea to solve this, which is to just put in a subtle stripe coloring each tab with the custom window color of that tab.. This is what is looks like today... A

request: "inactive tab should use inactive color for that window" in Groupy Stardock Forums

When using "automatically match the color of custom titlebars", it matches great... but I want an option "inactive tabs shouild use the inactive color for that window titlebar".. With this setting on, the inactive color of each tab would match the inactive color of that specific window title bar... instead of all going grey when inactive. Reason being, I use several different chrome profiles, each with different chrome themes to keep them separated.. and it would be ni

BUG: can't draft upper-left or upper-right corner of groupy-tab region in Groupy Stardock Forums

I love Groupy, it's awesome. However, I have two problems with it that come up pretty frequently.. 1) when a groupy tab is on a window, I can't drag-resize the window from the upper-left or upper-right corner .. (which is now the groupy tab region) I can drag-resize from the top corners of the contained window... so that's a workaround.. but it's pretty awkward feeling. Groupy does allow me to drag resize up-and-down from the top of the groupy-tab.. but I

Do other people experience this input-lag, where the game stops listening to them for 10+ seconds?

Reply to Unit selection, grouping, and armies - serious problems in Ashes Bugs and Ideas AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Sometimes my selection gets foobar, where nothing is selected, and I can't select anything.. either by pressing numbers or by drag-selecting or by clicking. It's infuriating. It's like the game just stops listening to me. It'll draw the box of a drag select, it just won't actually select any units as a result. I wildly click and drag and press ESC, trying to get it out of whatever "stuck" state it is in..... It happens to me every few minutes when playing against the AI. T

Reply to Unit selection, grouping, and armies - serious problems in Ashes Bugs and Ideas AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Yes, I'm aware you can select the group, then shift-box the units, then control-# the new full selection. I didn't realize you coulv use "v" instead to also add to the group-#. Is there any way to produce from multiple types of production facilities that are on the same control-group #? When I group factories and armories on #3, I can only make factory units. -- Is there some alternate way to deal with production facilities that makes this unimportant?

Reply to Unit selection, grouping, and armies - serious problems in Ashes Bugs and Ideas AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Agreed.... I feel like I can't even begin to play this game because unit selection and grouping is so busted. Here are problems I see: 1) shift-# doesn't add units to group (what?!?1?) 2) when a group has two types of structures (factory and armory), I only get the factory panel.... I don't see any way to switch to the armory subset (in starcraft this would be TAB) This makes managing production facilities and rally points a PITA. 3) wh
