End Session Dialog Painting Issue

Saturday, December 15, 2007 by Daiwa | Discussion: Skinning

I have a display problem on two different dev rigs, one a Dell Vostro 200 running XPSP2 with ATI X1300 and the other a Fujitsu Lifebook running XPMCESP2 with ATI Mobility Radeon X300 (both being ATI, might mean something).

The Shutdown Dialog displays correctly:



But the Logoff Dialog displays like this:



All the background images are .tga with proper trans settings.
The button images are both in the same .bmp format using magic pink trans.

Any ideas why the blue squares are showing up? It's not a highlight color I'm using anywhere. Both rigs support hardware accelerated PPX. [EDIT] The Fujitsu supports constant alpha only - has limited PPX support.

Thanks!

Logoof screen is a little borked right now...vStyler and I get it around the cancel button.

Make sure you have only perpixel in the code for that image...not transparent...might fix.

Thanks for your reply, I.R.

Are there trans settings in SKS6 that aren't in SKS5? All the images have PerPixel=1 in the SKS5 Code section except for the buttons themselves. They display correctly in the ShutDown Dialog but not in the Logoff Dialog.

I was referring to the code view...have no idea whats in SKS6...having both transparent and perpixel caan sometimes mess it up.

Each background image has perpixel=1 only, no other trans setting.

Thanks again.

Looks that way - same thing is happening with the other skins I've made with PPX backgrounds.

That's why I've never done round buttons in this section

See what you mean. I should be able to fake it, now that I think about it, & use an opaque image there. I'll fix it that way & see how it works.

Thanks.

Daiwa, not sure if the problem is same, but I had a post about logoff dialog buttons.
