<p>If you experience issues with the GUI where things are drawn on top of

<p>Some people experience issues with stuff in Chatty not being drawn
correctly (e.g. on top of eachother, areas not showing). This is probably
a Java bug that is system-dependant in some way (possibly OS or graphics
driver related, it's not really clear). There is no definite solution
for this, but there are a few things you can try:</p>
<ul>
<li>Check if you have any programs running that may interfere, for
example MSI Afterburner and add <code>javaw.exe</code> to an ignore
list or disable on-screen display support if possible.</li>
<li>Check if you have any programs running that may interfere, programs
that have been known to be incompatible for some people:
<ul>
<li>MSI Afterburner: Add <code>javaw.exe</code> to an ignore
list or disable on-screen display support if possible</li>
<li>Raptr</li>
</ul>
<li>If you have more than one monitor, try the other monitor. Not sure
why, but some people had it work better on another monitor.</li>
<li>Make sure the <code>Settings - Other - Disable Direct3D</code>
setting is checked. Maybe also try <code>Disable DirectDraw</code>,
although it should be redundant.</li>
<li>Add the <code>-Dsun.java2d.d3d=false</code> parameter when starting
Chatty, which does the same as the <code>Disable Direct3D</code>
setting, but adding it as a starting parameter seemed to work better
for some people. To do this, <a href="help-guide_create_shortcut.html">create a shortcut</a>
and add the parameter, similiar to this (obviously adjusting to your
paths):
<code>javaw -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -jar "D:\Chatty\Chatty.jar"</code></li>
</ul>
