Setting Opacity in SkinStudio

October 21, 2004 5:33:06 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Hi, I have Windowblinds 4.4 and SkinStudio 4.3. I was wondering if anyone knows how to set the opacity of a certain bitmap ( for example making parts of the taskbar slightly transparent, but not fully ) or if its even possible.

Also, does anyone know how to get rid of the seperator bars in the windows toolbars??

Please respond, thank you very much.

The taskbar does not support transparency.

If you delete the seperators the skin will not align parts correctly. You can make the image magic pink so you dont see it.

To get rid of the seperators, right-click the toolbar and select 'lock toolbars'

Hmm..what about other bitmaps beside the taskbar? Is there any way to set the opacity for ANY bitmap? Also I tried using magic pink but it still doesn't work, even though I lock it, the skin's seperators will disappear but the default seperators are still there. I can get rid of the horizontal seperator, but not the vertical one.

You can use .TGA graphic files. Some elements, like taskbar bg, scrollbar bg, titlebar buttons and window borders don't support, but just about every other bit does. It'll allow you to acheive the effect you're after.
