Unsupported Operation Error?

3.09[b].008

October 22, 2007 5:36 PM from

Was adjusting/applying shadows to menus when got this error message on clicking Save & Apply:

Appears to be "non-destructive" as the shadows apply & the program doesn't crash.

Just an odd error message. FYI.

XPP SP2.

kinda makes it sound like if you screw it up, you get no help...

This didn't happen to me. What skin did you have selected?

ObjectDock - Access shortcuts and frequently used applications from an animated dock.

Thanks. I was selecting [Shadow] Glass: WWW Link

I had modified the skin a long time ago to narrow the top shadow & this only happened when I recently tried to modify the shadow opacity. If I leave opacity at the default, I get no error message.

Shadows & transparency still work here, despite that error message. Shadows were dropped from some, but not all, windows & menus after that error but everything returned to normal when I reset the opacity to default.

Me thinks there's something unhappy somewhere in that slider.

WindowFX informs you that shadows are not used when you use a per pixel skin (because per pixel skins usually have their own shadows).

Thanks for chiming in, Neil.

In my case, the skin in use had non-perpixel borders, however. Should the shadow opacity setting be functional for non-ppx skins?
