Problem with order of Layers

Juergen

<r><s></s>📁 Original board: Chameleon › Troubleshooting, tips and tricks<e></e>

Sometimes the order of object visibility is not correct recalled

so in this example the Background:

wallpaper >green label> pic of Fog-Machine (with transparence)> on that all a button (opacity 15)

I saved this but when I recall it sometimes the order is changed and I can see only the green Label on top

<r>normal result....

Could you add a function to group/lock such combined elements/layers as one.....

because it is tricky to move or change size of it

At this moment I cant ad that feature, but can take a look on the issue.
Is spossible yous end the template trough private message?
You are working on single or multiple monitors?

Juergen

I am working / building with multiple Monitors but the chameleon controller is always on my surface Pro

...for later use I will have only my surface

I only found the textfile as template ...is this enough for you?

PabloMartin

The template are located inside > Your Documents folder > Chameleon > Templates, > your custom name folder is a single file and contain images etc. tamplatename.chameleon

Also please do me a favor, disconnect all you extra monitors, leave only single monitor and check if that happen again when you work on single monitor.

You said have multiple monitors, that are connected to your surface?
You understand the template is recommended be created on the resolution of the devices will be used?

Juergen

Think I found the problem .... double opened chameleon instance on the same Monitor and suddenly the layers begin with flickering.

after closing and restart all was OK.

PabloMartin

mmm, that is really strange!
New version prevent how you need, open double instance by accident, anyway I no think have relation, but can be and I do some tests.
As default, the software wont open in multiple instances and user need enable that from config panel, is the best way.
Please , if problem back, try to work for some moment on single monitor and check if on single monitor is solved or not.

Juergen

The Layer problem and the flickering Window are 2 different problems

Flickering is a surface problem that occures when I oppend Windows for hours with 'heavy load'......cool down and all is Ok...I think it is the grafic chip that makes problems in case of this with many monitors at the same time.
Layer problem also occures when there is only one instance of Chameleon opened!
Wallpaper in the back
Coloured square on it
Picture as third layer

Here it also occures on loading Chameleon that the Picture is behind the Square....

not everytime but it happens on program activation

Cheers

I cant reproduce the problem here.
Please send you template trough private message in order to work with that and check if can reproduce with that.
