[GLITCH] Issues with FancyZones | PowerToys

Is any one else having issued with FancyZones?

It seems like it hides the top part of the Groupy bar.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I believe this is known issue and Support has logged it internally. For a temperorary work around you can use "Combine if possible" mode.

Thanks

This glitch just came upon my widescreen setup also... Groupy suddenly does not play nice with MS PowerToys FancyZones anymore... when snapping a Groupy window into a FancyZone area, the tabs are invisible above the FanzyZones and can only be seen if painfully manually resizing the Groupy windows. The suggested workaround above (Combine if possible) does not resolve this. Please fix this glitch or Groupy will no longer be the amazing app it is for FancyZone users...

The issue seems to be a change in fancyzones as we did have specific compatibility fixes added for it.

We are investigating what we need to change to make it happy again.

Which part did not work? "Combine if possible" not working?

Combine if possible would only help with some apps.

We have found the problem which was caused by a change to FancyZones and we have this resolved internally ready for the next update of Groupy.

This was addressed in the Groupy 1.5 version which is in beta now.  You should be able to find this in your downloads section of the Stardock Store.
