Is there a way to use semi-transparency on WindowBlinds
Friday, September 13, 2002 by JDavidHarper | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I've been toying with putting together a skin for WindowBlinds/ObjectBar for a while, but my skin idea will not work without semi-transparency. Does WindowBlinds support PNG files? Is this coming in an upcoming version of WindowBlinds? I know you can do full transparency with MagicPink, but is there a semi-transparency option, like in DesktopX?

You can use semi-transparency in WindowBlinds, but it uses TGA files instead on PNG files. They have to be 32-bit TGA's with an aplha channel. Most elements of a WB skin support them, with the exception of window frames, menu backgrounds, and a few others. You'll figure it out as you go along.

Doesn't the translucy make semi transparent using the TGA files?
