AWM doesn't seem to act on some program windows, even though there is no exception for them. The two I've noticed so far:

PeerBlock
Sandboxie Web browser windows

Let me know what information I can provide.

Hello macman104,

Thanks for the post.

Could you clarify the problem with PeerBlock?

Could you send me some screenshots of the problem?

Best regards.

Sure,

The problem is that the settings for AWM are not applied to these program windows. The program simply does not seem to interface these windows. It is aware of their presence, because if you go to "list available windows" for a specific setting, it will be there.

- The AWM title buttons that I've selected (ghost, transparency, stay on top, rollup) are not present
- Actions like transparent when moving, do not trigger

I've attached a screenshot of the title buttons not there in peerblock compared against chrome.

Hello macman104,

Please, try to reinstall Actual Window Manager with the "Support system utilities ..." option turned on and check whether the problem with PeerBlock still persists or not.

Best regards.

Hi Vasiliiy,

That did it for PeerBlock

It still does not seem to register with opening a web browser through Sandboxie.

Thank you.

Hello macman104,

Thanks for the message.

We'll investigate the problem with Sandboxie and Actual Window Manager.

Best regards.
