That’s odd. Please send me your config file via eve-mail. Also please try the following: - Set transparency slider to the right - Close the app (via tray menu) - Restart the app - will the transparency setting rest again? ---

Hmm - Do you use main render or the alternate one? - Do you run EVE directly or via some remote desktop? - How exactly do they blink? Ie do they suddenly become not transparent/ transparent or they sometimes blink with the `active client highlight` color? - How often does this happen? ---

I have two monitors and I need that the main character from the first set will be on the first monitor and don’t fold, and the main character of the second set on the second monitor and don’t fold. How can I do it? ---
