Dxnothing layer becoming black when "Always on Top"

Hello here,

I (re)created my Diablo setup after I accidentaly deleted all my IsBoxer saves... I created a DxNothing layer for mini-maps, which works, as seen in image below :

But this only works when I call the layer (using F5 key, if that matters). When I want to place this layer "Always on top" so that I can actually play, it becomes black. I don't know what I missed...

Maybe something's wrong with the swap groups ? Here are my settings...

From the Wiki page (the only section in bold):

Check the "Video FX Viewers stay when in background (blocks Video FX Sources!)" box.

This option is found under the dxNothing "Character."

OK, it worked after all. Thanks for help.

Actually, just checking the box didn't do it, I had to delete the layer and then re-create it with the box checked at start, then it work :)

If your dxNothing was already up and running, then you would have needed to shut it down and restart it after exporting. I'll add that to the Wiki entry.
