[Windows] Corrupt and messy GUI

[HotKgon]

Thanks for FileBot. I've been using it for a while and it is great.

Recently I've started to experience an issue with my GUI where buttons go missing and previous screens get replicated.
I initially experienced this in the pre-microsoft store version. This was fixed by running the platform version of the executable file.

I never experienced this after installing the microsoft store version until now.

How do I fix this? Can I run a 'platform' version of the application? If so, how do I do this?

Please see the screenshot below for an example.

Thanks for the assistance in advance!

Code: Select all

FileBot 4.8.3 (r5812)

Done ?(?????)?

This looks like a graphics acceleration issue. While it's probably possible to fix it by fixing driver / graphics settings / etc it's probably much easier to just turn off graphics acceleration within FileBot (which is what the fail-safe platform launcher does by default).

Run this command in CMD to set the FILEBOT_OPTS environment variable to -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -Dprism.order=sw and then restart FileBot:

Code: Select all

setx FILEBOT_OPTS "-Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -Dprism.order=sw"

This will tell Java Swing and JavaFX to use software rendering instead of HW accelerated rendering.
