Another workaround is to use the commandline of -useoldlauncher which skips this window so you log in, in the game. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31203 --- Comment #9 from Booze Cow <boozecow(a)gmail.com> 2012-08-28 18:42:46 CDT --- Well, today 28 august 2012. With the new version of Guild Wars 2 launcher, looks to be working nice for me. We still have the large black border but at least the transparent window inside that black window is now visible. My understanding of the issue is: The launcher have two layers. A transparent background layer. The other layer is the dynamic window that showing up your login and password and download progress. The bug is that the dynamic layer window become hidden behind the background layer window. Now, the transparent background layer still not showing up correctly but they fixed the dynamic window so you can now interact with it correctly in wine. I don't know how they made the layer but it is not compatible with wine. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Well, today 28 august 2012.
With the new version of Guild Wars 2 launcher, looks to be working nice for me.
We still have the large black border but at least the transparent window inside that black window is now visible.
My understanding of the issue is: The launcher have two layers.
A transparent background layer. The other layer is the dynamic window that showing up your login and password and download progress.
The bug is that the dynamic layer window become hidden behind the background layer window.
Now, the transparent background layer still not showing up correctly but they fixed the dynamic window so you can now interact with it correctly in wine.
I don't know how they made the layer but it is not compatible with wine.
To me this bug looks very similar to the Diablo (first Diablo) game bug about the game menu being covered with a black square. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

I read this thread and tested the partial patch for the Diablo III stub. Instead of the black border, there is a copy of what stood behind when the window was opened; this is not updated afterwards(only by minimizing maximizing). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31203 --- Comment #14 from Kai Blaschke <webmaster(a)thw-theorie.de> 2012-08-30 08:17:08 CDT --- The patch partially solves the black box problem by alpha-blending the background, which should improve the visual quality and somewhat reduce the flickering, but the main problems remain: - As mentioned, the window isn't updated if anything changes below it. I'm not sure whether this happens for color-keyed windows or not, but what I've seen in the past is that Wine doesn't regularly or even consistently checks for changes in any element behind a window. In a Wine desktop, this should be relatively simple (as Wine draws everything), but if you mix Wine and native OS windows, this could be tricky. In Windows you can even smoothly play videos behind such a layered window. - Currently, you can't click through transparent areas in a window. Most modern graphical UI environments support non-rectangular window shapes, so I don't suspect this to be a big problem. Some developers place layered windows on top of another window, making the central area transparent to let the UI show through. Currently, such an application would become unusable, as you would just see a big black area in the center. Even with the partial patch, you would see the actual UI, but couldn't interact with it. In Windows 8, this whole problem will probably get worse, as Microsoft allows devs to make client windows - which is potentially anything inside another window - layered, too. From a developer perspective this is quite nice, as it allows you to create some really fancy UIs, but in Wine, such application would currently be unusable. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
