Problems with transparent parts
Friday, February 13, 2009 by Sc4rfy | Discussion: Skinning
Hi to all,
I'm working on my second skin but i've big problems...infact when I create the horizontal taskbar (it's entirely transparent with a line azure) and I apply the skin i see the line azure but the part transapent is totally black....what's happen? too much memory? I reset the pc and finally i see the transparent but is a very difficult works with this problem...
Is not finish...i create the start menu( entirely transaparent with lines azure) and apply the skin....works very well but I notice soon a big problem, the mouse is slow down and go off when pass trought the start menu....seems that the transparent parts exhaust the memory of graphic card or of system....is possible? or pehaps is another problem?
With the other skins i've nothing problem

I've about 30 skins in my windowblinds, many are semy-transparent and nothing problem, all works very well....but my skin is totally transparent, i've intel chipset graphic card in my laptop ( it suck, i know)....so is the graphic card the problem?

totally transparent?, I believe there has to be some kinda of pixel recogntion for a png\tga to work in WB, if the graphic is totally transparent.. try making it 5% opaque... see how that goes.

You could possibly have a low grade card not wanting to handle the transparency.. does it happen in all trans. themes or just yours?
