Y'z Dock and transparent windows?


Recommended Posts

Does Y'z Dock work with any programmes for making windows transparent?

I've tried it with both Froost and Glass2k and on both of them the dock just becomes a big white rectangle. Is it something to do with the dock, or is there a free alternative I can use to get my transparent windows?

Thanks

Thanks for the response, I'll try some of these other programs.

I didn't think it should affect the dock at all either but it makes it all weird.

The dock will appear fine, but as soon as I click one of the dock items, a big white coloured rectangle appears around the dock background. I can still use the dock as the labels still appear, but icons are whited out and theres just a giant white rectangle with about 70% transparency.

As the dock has its transparency settings, are they interfering with each other?

perhaps. what if you make y'z dock 100% opaque?

also, are you using 32bit color? if i use 16bit, i get the rectangle.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
