F@H graphical client messes up system tray tooltips

[BespinReactorShaft]

It seems that the graphical client tray icon messes up the alignment of other icon tooltips (and also introduces black spaces).

Any idea how to solve this?

Have you tried newer (or older?) graphics card drivers?

What you describe is a known bug. I thought it was Windows. Do you have all the latest updates?

But it might be like ProviaFan says and be drivers.

It's indeed a known bug. Either switch to the CLI version or go over to the official F@H site and do a search for it. I don't think they have a solution for it but I might be wrong. IIRC it has something to do with the OpenGL drivers.

Hmm.. F@H has put me into a kind of dilemma. I do like the graphical client if only because it comes with tray icon and easy status monitoring. I've tried the "no nonsense" console version but could not find a 3rd party monitoring app that I liked (so far nothing I've seen compares to the simplicity of e.g. SETI Driver). If the bug is due to openGL I guess it's something I have to live with. Driver/windows updates may work, but I've taken on the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" philosophy. 😀

Anyhow I guess it's not a bad idea to live with it and wait for the bugfix if/when it comes.

Good point ming2020. I also would rather have a messed up tray than a completely black screen 'cause the driver update failed!
