Hey everybody-
I'm about to start doing some troubleshooting as to what's causing this problem, but figured I'd see if anyobody has encountered this before. Whenever I use Expos�'s all windows for an application function, any application window behind it isn't greyed out. You can see what I mean by the picture below. I've tiled all of Safari's windows but the Finder window in the background isn't shadowed. I know that ist's a software thing related to my user account because no other accounts have this problem. I just wanted to know if anyone has had this problem and happens to know what is causing it. Thanks in advance!

PS-While creating this thread, I seem to be unable to insert the actual picture into this thread. What's causing this? Thanks again for any advice!

Problem so far unheard of. Try trashing com.apple.dock.plist in your ~/Library/Preferences/

I have exactly the same type of problem ever since i installed Panther, darkhawk. I didn't realize it doesn't happen in new user accounts, I simply thought it was a video card thing since I'm only running a Rage128 on this thing.

Deleting com.apple.Dock.plist also doesn't work.

how is your dock being oriented to the left? I'd turn off/uninstall all haxies and see what happens.

Hey everyone-
After messing around with my prefs a little earlier, I found that it's related to Konfabulator. In my preferences folder, there is a folder called Konfabulator, and one of those was giving it fits. So I just threw that folder away, and re-did my Konfab prefs. Hope this helps someone elso out there!

PS- I've had my Dock that way forever. I did it when with TinkerTool a long, long time ago (I remember reading somewhere that there can be a menu added to the Dock sub-menu called pinning, but I don't remember how to do that).
