Transparent background

How to get a transparent background? Best I seem to get is a very fuzzy merge with black.

I already tried that. As I said. the best I got was a very fuzzy background merged with black. Not transparent at all.

What OS and version of Fences are you using?

I am using Win 10 Home version 1709. Dual screen 1600x1200. A Hubble background image. I just installed the trial versions of Fences and Groupy off the Stardock site. I tried changing all the Color sliders. Transparency went from black to what looks like a black bathroom window. Fences also leaves the icon positions a mess when I turn it off so each trial takes a while to undo.

Reinstalled version 3.0.8.1. Same result. My guess it has to do with the screen resolution ( correction 1920x1200) and scaling factor 200%. It looks like the background is compressed and then re-expanded making it blurry.
