I'm using node-webkit to build a self-contained web app demo, and for some reason, the -webkit-backface-visibility CSS3 property doesn't work – but only when I run the app on Windows, not on Mac.
When I say it doesn't work, I mean it's exactly as if the property isn't supported: when I flip an element over on its back, I see it reversed, rather than hidden.
The issue isn't only with my particular code, either, as online demos of -webkit-backface-visibility (like this one) don't work when I run them in the app on Windows:
Is this a bug in node-webkit? Is there any way I can get this to work?
Well, it sounds like a bug. It might be the same issue that causes WebGL not to be available with specific hardware/driver combinations on Windows:

On Windows with some hardware and driver, WebGL won't work until you copy
D3DCompiler_43.dllandd3dx9_43.dllto node-webkit's directory, or install DirectX 9 redistributable.For license reasons we cannot ship those DLLs.
This seems to have fixed a similar problem with backface-visibility reported here:
CSS: backface-visibility and perspective doesn't work
It WORKS! Thanks a lot! I've added two dll files two node-webkit package and it works!
