Menu Animation Asymmetry

[Daiwa]

I really like the new UI and WFX is really coming along.

One thing to add to what others have posted here:

When opening a menu using "Roll Menus Down & Up", the shadow appears
immediately and the menu rolls down to meet it. The shadow appears to roll
up with the menu as one would expect.

This should only happen if you are not using the WindowFX shadows for menus.

The default OS ones are not aware of the WFX animations.

Hmm... WFX Config has shadows disabled (greyed out) here so I can't use
them for some reason.

Is this a "to be enabled" feature?

Thanks, Neil.

I spotted the other thread about the directories & reg entries - I'll try
sorting that out first.

Is there a difference in WFX when using a domain login as opposed to local
computer login?

I first ran the new WFX while logged on to a domain, which is when I ran
into the shadows being disabled with the initial Wizard Config. I've just
run it for the first time with my local machine login and everything is
enabled & selectable, having not touched the registry or folder heirarchy
yet.

Is that "intended" behavior? If not, what's the fix for getting all the
features enabled when on a domain?

Thanks,
Daiwa
