WinXP start menu transparency

April 3, 2006 5:57:26 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hi,


I'm currently using a program called AlphaXP for transparency settings and it works very well.  I own OD but I'm currently using a visual style from StyleXP, which I also own.  I'm having some issues with the start menu sometimes turning black.  When I move the mouse over it, the individual menu items come back, but the shell does not unless I logoff or restart.  I am not sure if this problem is related to Windows or StyleXP, but I was wondering about those using WB5.  Are you seeing any issues with transparency and the start menu?

I think having StyleXp & WindowBlinds both running is a no no from what I've read before...so I would uninstall StyleXP. But I'm sure someone will be along that will know for sure.

I do not run them both.  I bought StyleXP first, then I decided to give WB5 a try, so I bought OD.  I made the mistake of not uninstalling StyleXP before I installed OD, even though I had Windows set to defaults.  It took me the better part of a day to clean everything up so that I could install OD properly.  I installed all of the OD components at first, so I think I will be a little more selective this time around. My main issue with WB was that most of the themes are based on normal fonts.  My monitor runs at 1600 x 1200 native res and I like to bump my fonts up to large.  That is one of the things I liked about StyleXP is that it integrates very well with the Windows 'normal-large-extra large' font size settings.  However, it shouldn't be that hard to edit font sizes in Skin Studio.  Besides, I can't live with transparency issues--I love it.
