Author Topic: Desktop briefly Showing Up when switching from T.V to Full screen  (Read 978 times)

I'm wondering if it's possible to avoid this. When in theater view and switch back and forth to Full screen, I don't want the windows desktop to show itself (and the standard MC view, and explorer windows or whatever program that is running).

Is there a way to avoid this flickering?

This shouldn't be happening. What build are you using? How are you doing the switching? Shift+F11 toggles between Theater View and Display View only. You should never see the desktop or Standard View using this method.

I'm using the latest build (207).
Both Shift+F11 and the mapped button on my remote (irman plugin) let me view the desktop (for half a second)

By the way, I'm on vista (using latest video drivers available on nvidia web site)

Additional informations :

1- Restarted MC, and now it does the flickering only the first time it returns to Theater View.
2- Now I start a video and it behaves exactly as I said before (flickering on every switch).
3- I stop the video and it behaves like 1-

By flickering I mean that between the switchs I can see for half a second my firefox window that redraws itself (flash animations are playing).
