Transparent background

How to get a transparent background? Best I seem to get is a very fuzzy merge with black.

I already tried that. As I said. the best I got was a very fuzzy background merged with black. Not transparent at all.

Give this a try Purge Fences https://forums.stardock.com/486084/fences-support-faq#reinstalling

reboot and reinstall the latest version https://forums.stardock.com/484254/getting-your-products-and-keys

I am using Win 10 Home version 1709. Dual screen 1600x1200. A Hubble background image. I just installed the trial versions of Fences and Groupy off the Stardock site. I tried changing all the Color sliders. Transparency went from black to what looks like a black bathroom window. Fences also leaves the icon positions a mess when I turn it off so each trial takes a while to undo.

Reinstalled version 3.0.8.1. Same result. My guess it has to do with the screen resolution ( correction 1920x1200) and scaling factor 200%. It looks like the background is compressed and then re-expanded making it blurry.
