Feature Request: Change Opacity of Background on Mouse Over

from Stardock Forums

I would love to see an option to change the opacity of the fence background only (leaving icons fully opaque)  on mouse over.

Similar to how you can fade it an entire fence until mouseover,  it would be a productivity boon imho to have the option to only fade the background out/in only (leaving icons fully opaque).

So, you can have a more opaque (or Win10 Transluscent would be nice too) fence background when you hover over said fence, making it easier to read text and navigate icons due to the now higher temporary opacity.

Thx, gpk

Hello,

That is already available. Right click on Fence Titlebar ->view -> choose opacity for that fence.

Thank you,

Thanks for the reply but that's not quite what I was asking, the current feature chanegs the opacity of ICONS AND fence Background.

I'm asking for the ability to change the opacity of the fence BACKGROUND while leaving the icon opacity untouched; or vice-versa for that matter.

Come to think of it, it might be good alternative to quick-hide on desktop empty area double click:

Double click empty desktop area to toggle semi-opaque<-> full opaque fences (background and/or icons).
