Somehow BBIconBox (with just tray icons enabled) seems to be limiting overall GPU usage when auto-hid. When I hover over it my FPS i WoW nearly doubles.

If I disable auto-hide and use clickraise instead i see no difference whether BBIconBox overlays the game or not.

First time I hear of it.

I'd suggest using a BBInterface script instead of IconBox.

Doesn't seem to be limited to BBIconBox, BlackBoxBar has the same issue with auto-hide. Moving BBAnalogExMod (after toggling transparency on and off) onto my main monitor (over WoW) reduces FPS from 110+ to ~70.

 

My assumption is that WoW doesn't do well with any sort of transparent window overlayed its window. This isn't an issue with more "modern" games like Dirt Rally 2 and Two Point Hospital.

 

Is there some way to have dynamic width, auto-hidden tray that doesn't use transparency for the auto-hide?

 

I have no idea how to scrip BBi.

 

[pitkon]

You are probably right, so perhaps there is no point testing any further.

But if you let me know what was included in your IconBox, I can create a bbi script for you. If you want to try it, remember to include paths.

[tordenflesk]

Just the tray.

[pitkon]

Have you tried bbtray?

[tordenflesk]

bbtray doesn't load in bbZero. My guess is that bbtray is x86.

[pitkon]

Wrong, loads for me on my 64-bit puter. Most 32-bit plugins load on 64-bit systems. The opposite is impossible. Maybe re-install?

[tordenflesk]

The error:

 

bbZero_install_1.18.0-rc6_mojmir.exe didn't seem to include bbtray, so I grabbed it from here

 

[pitkon]

Have the same build, but loads for me. Really weird... Can you please try the 32-bit build and see if it works on that one?

[tordenflesk]

Same error there with a fresh install of bbZero 32-bit

[pitkon]

This is getting really weird. No issues here...

Maybe try my bbtray?

And, as a last resort, drop Mojmir's build in favor of Blackbox XZero450's build.
