family guy Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Does the beta use per-pixel alpha blending? Cause my laptop doesn't even work right with the alphablended start menus, but transparency with WindowFX, and the glow works with the current version of WindowBlinds, but if the Start Menu transparency and border transparency still won't work right, I wont be paying Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/377607-windowblinds-5-beta-coming/page/9/#findComment-586623974 Share on other sites More sharing options...

chavo Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Why does that sux?!?!?! That's how it's done. You replace the parts of the taskbar that you want to be transparent with the bit of wallpaper behind it. Just like terminal emulators and taskbars have been doing in Linux for years.

grdh20 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 There seems to be an issue the way WB5 upgrades WB4. I end up having to uninstall everything and reinstall. Also the roll up option no longer works in advanced settings.
