Shareaza

What you've done is surprising and quite frankly unnecessary. There is absolutely no need for those balloons in the bottom right corner, specially that there is no way to disable them. They interfere with other pieces of software that I have and cause some of them to crash. Basically, you've created functionality which should not be there. Please consider removing those balloons or at least make them opt-in.

You can hide popup till Shareaza exit by simple clicking on it or disable forever by setting "Library.HashWindow" advanced option to "False".

That's not good enough. You can't put things into the program, which crash full-screen DirectX applications, and tell the user 'O, just click on them!'
If you are one of the developers - remove the thing.
If you are just a passer by - thanks for a tip, but it's of limited use.

The bug would not be in Shareaza, it would be in the application that crashes. The problem is caused by the way Windows handles such things not by anything application specific done by Shareaza and if it makes the application crash that is a bug in it.


A shell API to avoid this common problem exists, but only in Vista or later and apparently it is not 100% reliable.

Anyway I added full-screen application detection code in r8846.

Library.HashWindow is 0 and has always been, but I still have the balloons.

What version? (Try latest daily build).
