Transparency in taskbar doesn't work in any of my skins

Thursday, June 8, 2006 by relise74 | Discussion: WindowBlinds

I've downloaded a number of skins which use transparency in the taskbar, but the transparent taskbar shows up with a bunch of horizontal lines running through it instead of just a smooth bar.

Does anybody else have this happen?

Please post system info from WB config.
Assuming paid version, not trialware. Please confirm.
Upgrade from trial? Those sometimes fail. Uninstall. Reboot. Install.

I guess the problem is that my "machine does not support per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins". *sigh* Thanks though!

Your machine does not support per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

This is because :

Your computer graphics hardware does not support acceleration of per pixel alpha. WindowBlinds requires this for per pixel alphablended borders as without it performance would be poor. Please see if you can obtain new drivers for your graphics hardware. Recent ATI & NVIDIA boards should support this feature. Onboard graphics tend not to.
