How do I make Favorites background transparent in WB6 with SKinStudio5?

Wednesday, May 28, 2008 by Jakobkraft | Discussion: WindowBlinds

It seems the Favorites menu in Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer whichI don't use and don't care about) is the only menu that is NOT transparent, and I can't find where the background would be in SKinStudio...?

Any help would be greatly appreciated -- thanks in advance:)

It and the allprogs menu are opaque.(24 bit bitmap is fine)

The favorites menu is in Controls>Menus>Favorites background.

IRB is saying
1st......it has to be a 24bit bitmap image
2nd......(opaque)means solid

We all wished it could be done but we wait till Windowblinds will allow ua to make it the way!

Hope it steers your in the right direction!

It does, I suppose...now I won't waste any time trying.
As you say, I'll just wait until WB shows us the way:)
