UltraVNC and Miranda IM

Post by rosid »

Hi,

I'm using the Miranda Instant Messenger with the clist_modern plugin, which uses layered windows for skins. UltraVNC is running as a service. When I log on to my computer using UltraVNC (java viewer or VNC viewer) I am not able to see the main window of Miranda. I am only able to see it when I turn off the plugin and return to clist_classic (not that nice though).

Is UltraVNC capable of showing layered windows? Does anybody else have this sort of problem (maybe with other programs)? Is there a possibility of making Miranda's main window visible (without uninstalling the clist_modern plugin of course)?

I already posted this on the german and english Miranda forums. Here is the link to the english discussion. It seems I am not the only one having this sort of problem: http://forums.miranda-im.org/showthread.php?t=7607

Solution

I found the solution. I enabled "Capture Alpha-Blending" in the UltraVNC server properties. It works fine now.
