    Smile Update window location?

    When i move a window, the movement is only registered once i'm done dragging it.
    It's not a big problem, but there are some things i do for fun that this affects. For example, the google chrome experiment.. with the balls. If you shake the window, the balls bounce around it, but i can't do that. i have to click, drag, drop, and then watch the balls respond.

    Can i change this?

    What is your computer spec? Does it run slow? You may just not have the hardware power to do this?

    my computer runs fine, and i have the extra effects running. It's not something my computer can't handle, it's just a setting that i can't seem to find. Thanks for the suggestions thus far
