Some viewers disappear when mouse focus lost

This is a separate question than the one I just posted, so I want to keep the threads separate. I have noticed that some VideoFX viewers disappear when the mouse focus is lost. But not all.

For example, the session windows drawn in dxnothing are always visible even without focus.
But my mana bars disappear the second that the mouse moves away from the window.

How can I control this behaviour?

Re: Some viewers disappear when mouse focus lost

From the Wiki:

Check the "Video FX Viewers stay when in background (blocks Video FX Sources!)" box. (Requires a restart of all dxNothing windows that are currently running in order to take effect.)

If you enable that on your non-dxNothing characters, then you cannot create any VFX Sources on them. You have to choose between seeing VFX when the window is out of focus, or being able to create a VFX Source on them.

Thanks for the response. Sorry I wasn't being clear.

I do not want any sources on dxNothing, just viewers.

The same thing applies to game windows. If you want a game window to have a viewer on it permanently, then you need to tick the "Video FX viewers stay when in background" option, but that then means that those game windows cannot be/have a Source.
