✦ Unexpected Tauri Title Bar

Cause: Windows Webview Runtime regression in an update.

• This only happened to windows insiders before as it was beta, but the change is now on stable release. That’s why the issue is now showing up as users systems update.

Fix: Update the webview runtime to the latest version.

• You can wait for a windows update or manually download the installer from: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2 and update.

• Get the Evergreen Bootstrapper and run as admin.

• After, Reboot windows.

✦ Under special conditions/conflicts, Seelen won’t launch.

• If you have MULTIPLE installs of Seelen UI, both Exe and Microsoft Store, launch fails.

  • This is expected. Do not install multiple versions.

• It has been noted that Windhawk under certain configurations/mods blocks seelen from launching.

  • To fix this, Exclude Seelen UI from windhawk's list: Settings > Advanced Settings > More Advanced Settings > Exclude Processes: "C:\Program Files\Seelen\Seelen UI* "

✦ When System Tray is opened, only a bar is shown, no applications.

As of v2.4.11, the tray should now work for most users whether your on the store or exe version! This likely makes the below irrelevant but it will stay for now incase of further issues/for unlucky users.

Things to try:

• Uninstall your current version of your Seelen UI and install the other version (Microsoft Store / Exe install). App data will not be removed unless selected however if you wish to ensure, backup it up (path at the top of the page).

• Also note that apps like Start11, StartAllBack or others that modify the taskbar may cause issues as well. We do not support the use of said apps with Seelen UI.

If you cannot fix it with the above, you can bring up native tray like so until further updates:

• Win + B then release the keys and press Enter.

✦ Blurred/Dark/Grey/White Screen/Overlay when opening Seelen UI.

╰─ This issue is simply a result of app conflicts:

• Apps like MicaForEveryone, Windhawk (~mods that effect window style), and others that modify windows style either need to be disabled/removed OR you must add an exception to Seelen UI if possible by whatever app is in use.

✦ Browser video frozen/black when hovering over Seelen elements.

╰─ The issue is caused by a browser feature:

• Firefox-based browser?
  • Go to "about:config" (type in address bar) and search widget.windows.window_occlusion_tracking.enabled and change the "true" to "false” to disable it.
• Chromium-based browser? (The below parameter may or may not work if support for it has been removed in some version):
  • Navigate to (or create) the shortcut of your browser and right-click it and select Properties,
  • In the Target section, it will show an address in quotation marks. At the end, put one space and type or paste: --disable-backgrounding-occluded-windows. Video!

✦ Media Player doesn't update for certain sources/does not work.

╰─ The media player uses system apis, so if some app doesn't show on the media player, it is likely because the app doesn't implement the media transport protocol.

• Also using nilesoft shell alongside results in the media player not working it seems.
