Hey all :) I need some help/critique on this theme.


Recommended Posts

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

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:

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? :)
