Transparent Skins

Any transparent skin lags my screen. Makes webpages and stuff like that all choppy and sketchy. Any idea why? I know my pc can handle it. My specs are,

AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 2.0GHz
Asus K8V
ATI X800XT
1 Gig Kingston Hyper X
Dual SATA Seagate 120GB HDD's (Running in Raid 0)
500 WATT Ultra X-Connect Power Supply


Any help would be great...

per SDC ... you're still running the released version (5.01.006 3/29/2006) yes?

the beta no longer shows as available for me in SDC.
maybe due to the other issue, Neil pulled the other pre release.

any transparent or Ecliz Deluxe? Saw a post on that one earlier.

does the choppy show in IE or just FireFox?
Reply #34 Top
Chop shows in both ie and firefox. And I had 2 transparent themes do it now. Ecliz Deluxe was the first until I found another one.

Here is a link to Ecliz Deluxe, can someone please download it and test it please.

Link for theme.

The forums that the chop always starts on is Link.


Really is to bad that the theme does that, its my fav so far.


And btw, thank you all so much for helping me with this.

I've got the skin, been using it all day with no ill effect - FireFox.

The link you gave for the unruly forum is the same link as the skin.

I yam what I yam.

So I guess my question of who sent the the verification is moot, huh?

Been browsing around, no ill effects. Some of the finished 3D stuff has broken links to the pics though.

Well the verification should be automatic but sometimes the email takes acouple mins.

lmao yeah. That would be cool though haha.

Ok weird. I restarted and other transparent themes work. Just not Ecliz Deluxe. Anyone think of a reason why just that one theme would not work and cuz lag?
