Wallpapers stopping when ALT+TAB and minimizing apps

[Disphorex]

My default wallpaper on windows settings is plain black, with that being mentioned; Whenever i minimize a window or alt+tab or move a window between monitors, wallpaper goes black. (Software stops working). I've several softwares running in the background and i've done a lot of UI Customization.

Does the icon of Wallpaper Engine in the task bar vanish, meaning the software really fully closed without showing an error?

Or is it still running, but the wallpaper disappeared?

In either case, please also share this log with us: https://help.wallpaperengine.io/debug/scantool.html

It is working in the background only wallpaper dissapeares for few seconds, it comes back on right after switching apps or moving windows between monitors

Have you set any of the "other application fullscreen" etc options to "stop"? It's possible that there might be an invisible fullscreen window still triggering this option, could you try to temporarily disable them to see if that is the reason?

Yes, that is exactly what is going on. I'm using "MyDockFinder" and it is acting as a fullscreen window. Changed the setting from stop and now its fine. Thank you for your fast and effective responses.

Alright, you can also keep the fullscreen stop behavior enabled (since you may still want it for games etc) and instead add MyDockFinder to the application rules in Wallpaper Engine with the condition "is fullscreen" and action "keep running". Then it will still work as before, but ignore the window from MyDockFinder specifically.

I did that and it works perfectly. Thanks again.
