Parsout Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 I sat down this morning with my bowl of froot loops and decided i was going to make a theme. I downloaded the Winamp skin for 2Advanced a long time ago, and i thought XP might look good themed similarly. So i got to work and its practically all done except for one little problem. Wheres the problem? I hear you ask. Well, on the sub menus for the start menu, that little black cut-off corner is supposed to be transparent, but it doesnt matter if i use a PNG with an alpha channel or a BMP with a FF00FF transparency in Style XP, it just WONT go transparent. Has anyone got any solutions for this? :) Also, if you can see anything that doesnt look exactly right or whatever, let me know :) Thanks! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arhra Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 I've not tried with the all programs menu, but i've found that some areas just can't be made transparent - i've had the same problem with the grouped programs menus on the new theme i'm working on atm... :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krome Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 It's a bit too dark for me... but other than that, the theme looks good... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsout Posted January 31, 2002 Author Share Posted January 31, 2002 Yeah i just tested that grouped program menu, it goes black as well! Crap!! :dead: But what annoys me is, the start panel works fine (transparent corner) yet these other two things dont, i dont get it :ermm: Oh yeah and thanks everyone for the great comments, i really appreciate it :D I'm going to release this when i've knocked up a simple login screen, so that in the zip file you'll get the Winamp skin, the theme itself, and a logon screen - sound like a good idea? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mariusu Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 maybe you should reshape the start button, and maybe you should put some text on it...for those who would like to personalize it...:D but this is only my opinion...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
