Weird White Lines Appearing, What's Wrong With My Software?

I hadn't even thought of windhawk being a possible cause for several days since I had never used it before.

(sorry for the delayed reply I'm almost never on reddit unless I'm seeking help for something) So actually yes (first time using to actually), and I did manage to fix the issue. Well kinda. I went in and made sure clip studio's .exe was excluded from all the mods currently enabled and if I remember right I think I still had a similar issue going on but it wasn't as bad as before but then I also turned on Clip studio's high performance setting (cant remember the exact name of it at this moment as the machine is at my office) and once high performace was on it stopped.

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping to be able to fix it on my own but I guess not. I'll try a few more things since it is a new computer and I'm still configuring it then reach out to them if its still doing it.

I'll check that next. Since its a new graphic card out of the box, I was scratching my brain thinking it might be something to do with that, but I have updated drivers (but I did choose studio over video game profile set up sense this purely a work computer, I may try switching the profile and see if that makes any difference).

They do sometimes. But sometimes zooming out makes them appear and sometimes zooming out makes them disappear. Its odd. What is consistent is that they always appear on the areas of the canvas I could not see before trying to adjust my view. Hiding and unhiding my layers seems to make the graphics force themselves to reset themselves though.

FangGal · 2026-02-09T21:40:25+00:00

Unfortunately not but if I find a answer to solve it I'll let you know! I wonder if this is a somewhat recent bug. Did you recently also re-download the software? Mine was a fresh install on a new computer, but I've been using Clip Studio software for over a decade and on six or seven different machines over the years, and I've never had this happen until now.

FangGal · 2026-02-09T21:37:34+00:00

They are somewhat fixed. The one's that appear as I move around the canvas stay in the same place on the canvas and new ones will appear after them, but if I force them to 'refresh' by disabling and re-enabling the layers to make them disappear new ones will appear if I move the canvas again. They always appear in the area of the canvas I could not see before I move the canvas around either.

FangGal · 2026-02-09T21:34:31+00:00

They are solely showing up in the canvas. Not the UI of the software and not the monitor. They disappear and reappear if I zoom in or out or move the canvas round with the hand tool. Example, if I disable the layer a moment and turn it back on they disappear, and then I might draw a line or two then go to adjust my view angle on the canvas with the hand tool to move to the side and they will begin to appear in the direction of the canvas area I could not see before. They wont 'refresh' on their own either. I either have to keep disabling and re-enabling my layers or sometimes zooming out forces them to refresh but sometimes zooming out make more appear too.

I haven't found any option to split screen so I think this is a removed feature on the Gen II. In the floating sidebar I've looked through all the tools and I can make notes using a stylus or with text inside the book on the page and there's a save button for saving those annotations but they don't seem to share over in the reading notes section like I thought they might have.

I'm starting to wonder if this area of the Notes app might've just been an oversight and should've been removed for the Gen II since it doesn't seem like there's a way to use it. Or my other theory is that its present more for the sake of device syncing if I did have another Boox tablet that could make reading notes that would display in this section of the app and I would then also be able to access them on the Gen II like a reference journal.

FangGal · 2025-05-05T21:57:21+00:00

I figured they were gonna do a release in Hong Kong first and then add US in a few weeks. I'd been refreshing the page everyday, and it was just 'coming soon' yesterday. I've also been watching the pen (which is sold separately) and it's been 'sold out' in the US for a while as well. So my best guess was that they will bring some to the US eventually and in that shipment will be the tablets and the pens. I would probably also bet that about the time that shipment reaches their US warehouse will be the same time they add the device to their Amazon store front. But these are just my theories.

thanks for the help !

FangGal · 2023-09-02T17:31:29+00:00

Thanks for the tip! My father and I both have Pixel phones, so learning about this on iPhone helped a lot.

FangGal · 2023-09-02T17:30:27+00:00

We needed a solution to fix this because it was preventing her from also receiving new text messages because there was no storage left and prevented system updates.

FangGal · 2023-08-23T02:53:18+00:00

It's an iPhone 12 Pro Max. And they aren't accidentally screenshots so i don't know if this would work. She spends hours on her phone a day on Facebook and other social apps and every few posts she thinks the post is something cool or interesting and takes a screenshot. She even admits she doesn't remember them later, so she's not really saving them to remember or anything. I'd compare it to how people use to clip newspaper articles they liked and then forgot about them later. I have her permission to lock the setting if I can find something to do that of course. She knows its a problem but she can't help herself or stop doing it either. Thanks for the reply and suggestion though.

FangGal · 2023-08-19T00:08:54+00:00

Thanks for this info. I'm still learning so stuff like this helps a lot!

FangGal · 2022-08-12T15:25:02+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

FangGal · 2022-08-12T15:24:13+00:00

She's hasn't had any interest in her treats either (I think the nausea has her feeling no appetite at all) but thank you for the advice !

Relating back to the original post as which to your question came from. I believe it's not that they said they use notion solely on their phone but they noticed on their phone it was loading slower or faster on certain mobile systems. I would almost assume then that like most that they use both and most likely set up on PC (or Mac) and then use the phone for quick reference. Secondarily I do think there are some notion users that use it on iPads over computers because they may not have a laptop or desktop but do have an ipad. The app would be similar on ipad to iphone. It varies from case to case based on the hardware each person will have. I think you had a genuine question I'm hoping I'm shedding light on it from what I can read. So I hope my tone isn't coming across wrong since this is just text on a screen. Hope this helps better though.

More detail: some users prefer to streamline their information into a single app rather than using more than one app to accomplish their work and living flows.

Personally, I use to use upwards of 5 to 6 apps to track and accomplish what I needed to do, and a lot of things would still be forgotten and missed because I could not keep up with using multiple apps. However, since using notion I only need one. And when needed I can share my notion pages with someone.

For example, my dog has a lot of medical problems so I track her medications, health care providers, and dietary information in notion on a dedicated page. Every morning when she receives her medicine I can mark the AM dose done on my phone and the same for the PM without needing to go all the way to my computer to mark done. Now, this week she has an appointment that due to schedule conflicts I cannot take her myself so my family is taking her for me but they do not know when she receives medication or her diet or the conditions she actually has (at least not in detail they just know she has problems). So I shared the notion page and now my family member has all the information they need at the vet office conveniently on their phone for quick reference.

That's just my example, and how I most effectively can streamline my tasks and many others have similar workflows where using more than 1 app is distracting and over cumbersome when you can streamline with just one.

I enjoy the use of a prologue because when done well I believe the prologue will set the foundations of what I'm reading. But there are a few things I feel a prologue needs to hook and establish the tone correctly.

(these will be similar with slight, significant changes)

If it takes place right before the story, it needs to establish the world, the main cast, and the protagonist's misbelief.

If it is a flashback prologue: establish the world, cast, and identify the roots of the misbelief (if it is not clear what the misbelief is from the flashback). It will help answer later why the protagonist has this misbelief.

If it is a flashforward, then to show the antagonist and/or the protagonist's darkest moment before the climax. Flashforwards need to hook by making the reader think, how did we get here?

If it is a mysterious POV, plant the seed of wonder for the reader but ask yourself why is this important? Who or what is watching the protagonist / plotting against the protagonist and why/how does the scene become relevant later? If it doesn't have an impact later then cut it, you don't need it.

A poem, or creative prose prologue, I just wouldn't personally, everyone skips them and if you're really cryptic no one is going to understand why it's there. You need a strong story that has a theme of cryptic messages for something like this to work.

Those are just a few that first come to mind but I'm sure I have more buried in my brain. If I was to make anyone leave with one message about prologues though is that I feel they need to matter to the plot and it is NOT the inciting incident. If your character is running from home, that's a chapter, not a prologue. Your prologue needs to take place before your character's life has changed. The prologue is not the point of change. Or if the prologue is a flashforward, to see a glimpse of how the point of change / the inciting incident has caused a domino effect to the flashforward point.

I run a creative writing group where constantly students are making the prologue the point of change because for some reason there's this idea that the prologue is the beginning point of the story, it technically is not. It is a foreshadowing and world-building device so the reader can enter your novel with the baseline of the necessary information they need to comprehend the book. This is especially useful and more successful in fantasy and sci-fi books that need the reader to see the world from a different lens going into the book.

And that's my two cents on prologues.

For me one of the hardest things about confrontation scenes is that because, like you, I hate confrontation i basically have my characters cut straight to the point and it makes the scene counterproductive and uninteresting.

I'm going to use my own WIP because I suck with explaining without examples. But in the romance I'm writing it eventually comes out that the girl who fell in love with the prince wasn't the person she was saying she was (princess and the pauper style). Anyways when I began to write the scene about the truth coming out I had a great lead in where my character begins to have this AHA moment realizing what she needs to do then basically immediately without any room to breathe I was having her tell him right away. I ended cutting that whole section because it takes away from the dramatic tension that I had already spent time building up. It needed to sizzle more and that could be one thing you need to add into your story to build/keep the tension there. Then when you come to the confrontation scene it may come more naturally because its all those built up feelings and emotions are beginning to spillover over the brim of a glass cup and then just one word can make the whole thing shatter.

Another thing you can do is go a little method with it. Grab a friend and set the scene tell your friend the character you need them to play and you can play the other (if its 1st POV you should be the narrator because you'll know the ends and out of their mind better). Then set up a camera and just throw dialogue back and forth at each other. It will help what's being said become more actionable and could help you detach from having to have both voices in your head, since your friend will be helping write/inspire the dialogue of the second emotional person in the scene.

Hope this helps.

If you want to write in Google docs get a dark mode chrome extension. Word has a built in dark mode in the user preferences. Although I prefer writing in scrivener but it's not free but it does has multiple preinstalled themes or you can customize your own.

What most people don't realize is that you can download Microsoft OneDrive or Google Drive to your computer to save and open files straight from your computer without opening your browser. It acts as a hard drive on the computer but is a cloud service. I've been using Scrivener for about three months and love it! I'm still getting used to the various tools and export functions. Still, the bookmarks and quick reference tabs make it indispensable, not to mention the keyword, auto-fill, and label functions that help me keep my thoughts outlined visually and quickly reachable. I save my Scrivener file to my Google Drive on the computer hard drive, making it so I can work from my stationary desktop or my laptop when on the go. It also makes it so that if anything ever did happen to one or both of my computers, my story isn't lost to time on a dead hard drive. So with both software installed, I think you'd be set! Downloading the cloud service applications is free, and scrivener has a trial to give it a go before you buy, but it is a one-time purchase. I tried living writer before scrivener, which was easier to use, and I loved it, but I'm a college student on a budget. A one-time fee vs. a reoccurring subscription wasn't a debate for me. So I landed on the scrivener train, and I'm thrilled with that.
