Playing with WB5 unable to work out window border transaprency

from Stardock Forums
Basicly I've been looking at the skins that support WB5 border transparency, yet even with the newest version of Skinstudio I can not figure out how the boarder transparency is done and how, since the the borders are all BMP images the transparency must be done after the fact and is not part of the image it self, yet I see no option to allow me to confiugure this or for that matter do anything with transparency. I find it very fustrating as I've wasted the better part of the last hour looking for how it was done both in the code and in the visable attributes, yet I can not find anything that would explain it.


Thanks,
ERIC

Have you tried applying the "Magic Pink" color to the areas you want transparent? RGB(255,0,255)

In the left tree view, look for "Window Borders - PerPixel" .... expand that heading, and you'll find

Buttons
Borders - Bottom
Borders - Left
Borders - Right
Caption.... (this is the titlebar)
etc.

This is where you set the "Translucent" frames, and titlebar buttons. (Magic pink will not work for translucency)

Translucent menus are under the Controls heading.
