Title: Homegroup issue?
Post by: TheBull on November 12, 2012, 08:00:01 am
I don't know if someone can perhaps help me on this one. If you look on my first screenshot, when I click the "Choose what you want to share...." link, nothing happens. Only on the theme I am working on. When I switch to the default W8 theme, then it pops up the second screenshot. Not even sure how to troubleshoot this.  :S Thanks.

Is this 8?

I just set up a Home Group to check it out but mine looks different from yours.

That window in the first picture just shows for less than a second when you finish and is never used afterward.

The final version with all updates installed or an earlier version?

Not an early RTM or RP or something?

Like I said my Home Group looks different. That first window shows only when you finish and is never used again.

No it is the latest RTM.

Anyways, the same thing happens when you right click on any folder and select 'Share with' > 'specific people'

On the default W8 theme a popup opens up looking like my first screenshot, but it wont open on my theme. If I click it on a default W8 theme, and leave it open, and then change to my theme it stays open, but looks like my 2'nd screen. There is definitely something wrong somewhere. Thanks for the help!!!

Did you change the theme while that window was open, I tried this and found only when switching from a light theme to a dark theme I got the same result but if I have the dark theme already applied and then open that window it works fine.

That window will not open in my dark theme. If I switch to a light theme it opens fine, and then only while open and I change to my dark theme does the window show, like the second screenshot.

This is really frustrating. I see even if I click on the compatibility option when installing something the same thing happens. Nothing opens. I don't get this!  :S

Have you tried this with any other theme or is it only happening on your theme?

Seems to be only on my theme.  :(

Must be some margin settings wrong somewhere. Do you perhaps know where to change that white parts on the bg on my screenshot above? Thanks for the help!
