7.19 beta: Window frames transparency broke in Diamand Theme (Win7 32)

well I guess the subject title says it all. I applied a backup of the Diamond theme, applied settings, that didn't help. Window frame transp. works fine in i.e. Aero Metals, so it is definitely the 7.19 beta.

Thanks for repairing this in the next build And hey, would somebody please reply that my posting has been at least READ because I am so TIRED of posting into forums and never get any feedback .....

Thanks,
T.

Do you mean they have no transparency at all, or that the transparency slider on the transparency page has no impact on that skin?

no window frame transp. at all, and the slider only effects transp. of the space around expoler address bars, NOT of the window frames.

[EDIT]: loaded Diamond in SkinStudio, went to "Edit Titlebars and WindowFrames", "Edit UIS2 frames", "Extra Settings":
- enabled "use Aero Style Frames" --> the skin looks again as it used to.

I also changed "Aero frame colour alpha" to 50 and "Aero Frame Color" to 0, 62, 37 - looks much cooler and more pleasant now ..

[EDIT2]: above is NOT a solution, because switching to Win Aero deactivates the title-bar effects like 'stay on-top on double-click' etc. I uninstalled the 7.19a Beta, rebooted, installed 7.10, and now everything is again the way it is supposed.

QUESTION: where in the skin (SkinStudio or manually in the uis, I don't care) do I change what in Aero is called "Border Padding": Vista or 7, Windows Color and Appearance, Border Padding. I changed it there from 4 to 1, but would like to know where that setting is in the Diamond WB skin. Or do I HAVE to do in Windows once I enabled Aero Style Frames in a skin?
