Window background is transparent when selected, how do I make it opaque?

Hi all, first-time poster here...

i have a problem with my favorite WB Skin "Steam System Grey" in that whenever I select any icon in a Desktop window, it has a transparent selection area allowing the immediate background to show through. I would like to keep it 100% opaque while selected but have been unable to find specific instructions on this. Running Win10 on i7-6700HQ with GTX 960M.

Can anyone give me a tip? See attached screencap for more, thanks!

You need to make a minor edit using SkinStudio.  See Reply #1 here:

Let me know if you need any help with that.

Yes that may work.

However I can't find that skin anywhere on WC. Would like to look at it as I don't know how old it is or even where you got it.

There is an image missing. Where? I haven't looked as it could take quite a while to find it. I will look around when I get time so check back on this thread now and then.

Dave-

I downloaded the skin and double-checked Reply #2 before I posted it.  We should be good.  ;)

Thanks for reporting this.  The next WB update should resolve this for all skins on Windows 10.

Dave yes, you are correct. I wanted to test it here. Just have to delete the code from the 4 Glass sections in the Background section and all is well.

Thank you for the extraordinary effort you are making to accommodate Win7 skins on Win10. It is not lost on me.
