[FancyZones] TWS InteractiveBrokers window is not detected #6771
Comments
Can you please tell me if this is a quick fix for you guys or many weeks etc or looks like a never fix? |

I've added the app to https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/wiki/Application-Compatibility |
Thanks for the clarification. May I know why you do not like to add this as a feature? i.e. improve (not change) the window detection logic? |
Changing the detection logic would be a overwhelming task that would put any other work on hold probably for a couple of months or even more, something that we can simply not take into consideration. |
Thanks for the clarification. I understand the challenges you explained. Based on what you looked at, would you say all program coded in Java may be not supported by PowerToys (specifically for window drag detection)? P.S. I tried couple other windows manager software and had the same issue. I am wondering if you have a term for the way window in IBKR TWS is dragged so I can google search + windows manager software. |
I have found a window manager app in the Windows store that works well with TWS. The app is called "Snap It", and can be found here: http://enginkirmaci.com/projects/snapit. It is written and maintained by a young developer based in Turkey, who seems to have figured out by himself how to make this work. I would prefer to use FancyZones, but for now, Snap It is a fairly polished piece of software that is doing the job. |
