Start Panel Transparency
It isn't consistent on this machine
Friday, November 23, 2018 by Chasbo | Discussion: OS Customization
I am running Win 10 ver 1803, Windowblinds 1.74, Start 10 1.61. At some point transparency on the start panel, for some skins, went bye bye. As I said not all just some. Here's some where there is no transparency and should be: Acadia, Cypress, Comet, Diamond, Windows Zero and Naked Noir. The transparency works for Alloy, Artificial Intelligence, Digital Tech and Lantana, Why is it working on some but not on others? No screenshots. Take my word for it. I've been using Stardock software since 2005. I know what's supposed to be and what isn't. As I said this problem is only showing up on the start panel. Has anyone else noticed this? Stardock what do you say? Is there a fix?

Anyway this problem has not gone away and I see no one at Stardock doing anything about it. The bottom line is that with Start 10 the start panels with transparency are not displaying as intended by the creators of the skins. Some of the skins affected are master skins. Either do not sell master skins with transparency in the start panel, because the buyer of said master skins are not getting what they paid for or FIX THE PROBLEM.
I know from seeing screenshots posted in this thread that this problem is not just on my end but it is affecting other users as well.

Thank you Basj.
The way it is now it's like ordering a car with a black interior and when you get the car it has a grey interior.

Chasbo,
I agree with basi that Transparency works fine here. I tried a few of those skins. Lets just use Diamond. Look at the SS. I see it for a lot of transparency so you can see it clearly works. It works no matter where I move the top slider which is the only one I ever use to adjust this.
I wanted to report this because I'm also on the older version of windows 1803. Same as you. Using same version of Start 10. I was using WB version 1065 and trans worked fine. I just now updated to the latest version 10.74 and it still works fine.
Can't answer why it doesn't work on your end, but wanted to let you know I have same version except for WB. I would suggest you update to the latest version of WB and see if that solves your situation as 10.74 works fine on Win 1803. Yes, I'm well aware you know your way around SD programs. Just trying to let you know I'm using the same Win 10 version. PS: I'm showing the Diamond WB.
Dave, Your start panel is messed up. look in the middle of the right side vertically.
