Enhancement Request: Improved rendering for "Overlay" windows in IDEs (Visual Studio/VAX)
Hi Team,
I’ve been using a DisplayLink-enabled dock for my development workstation for several months now. Overall, the stability is impressive. However, I’ve noticed a specific behavior when using Visual Studio alongside Visual Assist (Whole Tomato).
The Issue: When DisplayLink is driving multiple high-resolution displays, the "Quick Info" tooltips and "Member List" dropdowns (standard UI overlays in IDEs) occasionally exhibit a slight flicker or a 100ms delay in rendering compared to the main code editor window. This seems to be related to how the Desktop Window Manager (DWM) handles transparency on non-primary displays connected via USB.
Suggested Improvement:
Optimization for Layered Windows: Is it possible to optimize the compression algorithm for small, frequently updated layered windows (like tooltips and autocomplete boxes)?
IDE Profile: Could a "Productivity/Coding" toggle be added to the DisplayLink Manager to prioritize UI responsiveness over color depth for specific executable files like devenv.exe?
I’m happy to provide system logs or a screen recording via the DisplayLink Support Tool if that helps the engineering team investigate.
Best regards,
