Hi

When using CList Nicer 0.8 on Windows 98, Miranda's window is not repainted correctly after uncovering window anymore.
A picture which shows the problem attached.

Here's the fix:
Code: [Select]
Index: clistmod.c

  //SetActiveWindow(pcli->hwndContactList);
  ShowWindow(pcli->hwndContactList, SW_SHOW);

Known issue under Windows 9x.

Only Windows 2000 and XP are officially supported. Repainting is optimized for these operating systems to make it faster.

There are no plans to change this. Win 9x is essentially dead and writing code specifically optimized for it doesn't make sense any more.

Your "fix" will slow down things under XP and may even cause flickering, so I'am not going to apply it, sorry.

That's a pity :(

So maybe you have a clue what is different between win 9x and win xp way of handling this repainting so that a workaround could be made for KernelEx project?

No sorry. I've given up with Win 9x many, many years ago.

It's probably a small difference in the user32 system. There are many such differences and generally, XP exposes a more aggressive redrawing method so that applications don't have to force redraws like it's often necessary under Win 9x.
