Transparency WinBlinds <-> Object Bar

from WinCustomize Forums
Hiya,
this is my very first posting here so please be gentle
I hope this hasn't been addressed before but I couldn't find anything in the FAQ. Here we go:
I gather there is a difference in the way WB and OB determine transparency in skins for if I use skins like 'Alien Technology', 'Threadz', 'E-Platino' or 'Rogue' and quite a few others on WB they do look as expected (with one exception I'll as about in another posting ).
If I use them on OB though I get to see plain white or magick pink areas, which is quite a sad thing for I like these skins (and I tend to swap skins regularly
Can anybody tell me if there's a way to change that?

Have Fun!

i have no clue about this software, but i´m pretty sure you are using Win9x and these skins contain alpha-transparent images.

On the start menu, you need the setting "Irregular Shapes=Enabled" in the "General" section to show transparency and oddly enough, frequently you have to turn off the transparency settings.."Use Transparency=0" for the graphic.

Hope this helps.

If you use notepad to edit instead of SkinStudio, add the line "UseRegions=1" to the General Section. In SkinStudio, it shows as "Irregular shapes=Enabled".
