#Artifacts when manually and automatically resizing windows in Explorer

Hello,

I have been recently introduced to Komorebi and as I use and configure it I have encountered the following graphical issue:

When I open explorer, resize it, or open a new explorer window, weird white artifacts appear as shown in the attached video.

I tried changing the animation speed and framerate but the issue persists.
I also attached my own Komorebi.json for reference.

Is this a known issue with Komorebi or particular to my case?

My gratitude in advance.

Hi Waleed - latest investigation on this suggests that it is a GPU driver issue because these artifacts don't show when running on an igpu

Relevant discussion from a few days ago

I am also facing the same problem (

GG @autumn mist, you just advanced to level 1!

i thought that was just how komorebi was?

Think I remember this happening even back in Vista* with a custom msstyle.

@left otter I'm currently testing on an Intel iGPU, and yes, there is a difference. So basically, you will need to change the render engine for animation in Komorebi 😦

has that been the problem this whole time??

#

Or do we need a separate PR there

I have the same issue here

#

When opening file manager and when resize it with alt snap

@Microsoft y u no fix 😢

But there is something which I can't explain. I'm feeling every day like we're missing something here. There are no artifacts when you use native resizing.

its prbly ms doing some closed source bs to discourage users from users third party apps

Imo it's still a MS problem if this is how it reacts when we are using documented Win32 API calls for window manipulation

if exe.eq(explorer) { setwindowpos() } incoming

#

Tbh this is not that weird to implement, we can add another rule for it

#

We have rules for everything else 😅

fresh inlet
#

Let me try to make some tests for "resizing", maybe I'm wrong.

#

I don't know why, but for me SetWindowPos and MoveWindow work totally in different ways. I can see many more artifacts with MoveWindow

left otter
#

Looks nice

#

I think we can make this configurable

#

Which one do you think looks better?

fresh inlet
#

This last one doesn’t have white artifacts. The animation is slow because of the low FPS

#

wouldnt forcing a window redraw after each step take a lot of cpu?

fresh inlet
#

Not a lot, but it can be increased. I think this should be a job for the GPU, not the CPU

#

I have noticed that when I enable animation in Hyprland, the GPU temperature goes up by about 10°C 👀
On Windows my GPU stays at around 45–50°C all the time without the fans spinning, but on Hyprland it goes up to about 60°C and the fans start spinning

bro i wish i knew enough rust to help with this

#

but ill prbly be very inactive

#

but just for fun, what libraries / crates are you using and what purpose do they serve in the project

#

like:
win32api - prbly to work with the windows resizing and allat
serde crate - for parsing the json config file

#

not sure if this has been addressed yet, but I experience the same resizing artifacts

bumping to share i also experience this
