The main working area is always blank / transparent

Everything works as it should, but the main working area is always blank / transparent no matter what is done.

This may happen if you try to use Smode with an Intel Graphics Card. See:

Smode crash or don't render on laptops with Intel graphics cards

Unfortunately, Intel GPUs are not yet supported by Smode. If you have a laptop that has an NVidia graphics card in addition to the builtin Intel GPU and that Smode crashes at startup, make sure in your graphics driver properties that your graphics card is enabled by default in the NVidia control panel. For this, go to Manage "3D Settings", then select the tab "Program settings", select Smode as a program to customize and set the NVidia processor as prefered graphics processor: [image]
