Still trying to figure out how to get rid of the Alias mask from showing on top of the Start menu..

HG, do you have the top part of the menu set to blur? If you set it to semi-transparency instead, that should go away.

in WB or SKS?
Reply #51 Saturday, November 6, 2010 8:35 PM
SKS. For the top part of the start menu, under the 'extra settings' tab.

yeh tried semi, none and the other all 3 gave same look

Hmm, have you checked anything in the transparency section in Windowblinds?
If you want, I can take a look at it and see if I can figure it out.

yup ive tried all the settings in WB too, it should be in ur WB gallery already, I believe it comes with WB is the SD Xenomorph skin.

OK, I looked at it. In SKS, you need to set ALL the parts of the start menu to semi-transparency, top, bottom, left, right and more programs. It fixes it.

I 'thought' I was finished with my cockpit....but finally worked out a way to have functioning alpha-blended 'glass reflection' so I have cockpit glass....yippee!
Then there was the issue of the attack radar being a gau, not xml and refusing to allow a secondary xml reflection to work with it....clever me found a way....window 'layer' number 26 ....yes, it takes 26 'windows' to draw the screen....with the correct functionality.
I see so many 'Panels' uploaded/available that claim 'photoreal'.....and as thumbnails they often look the part...but loading them into FSX at 1680x1050 [ignoring distortions to proportions] and they look cartoonish mostly.....often with little in the way of functional gauges/switches.
It's probably 'fortunate' I have a half-decent GPU as I doubt this Panel of mine classifies as 'resource-friendly'.
Next step is to investigate how to get the joystick buttons to function....whilst with a moving stick .... probably the law of diminishing returns..... but it's all fun in skinning...
The original 1024x768 panel as comes with the purchased plane.
What happens when a 'skinner' gets carried away........
