Border Transparency

January 10, 2006 12:48:57 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
My Dell Optiplex - no problems with transparency, WB5 applys skin perfectly.

However.....

My IBM Thinkpad T41 with Latest Version of WB5 and: ATI Mobility Radeon 7500
No-transparent borders show up in all skins of this type
The taskbar is transparent though.

Anyone able to fix this yet?

WindowBlinds 5.0 System Information Report:
STATUS : WB+ SRV+ HLP+ UI+ TRAY+
WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC.
WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC
Your machine does not support per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

This is because :
Your computer graphics hardware does not support acceleration of per pixel alpha. WindowBlinds requires this for per pixel alphablended borders as without it performance would be poor. Please see if you can obtain new drivers for your graphics hardware. Recent ATI & NVIDIA boards should support this feature. Onboard graphics tend not to.

You have one monitor in total.

(Default Monitor) 1 is attached to ATI MOBILITY RADEON 7500
