I have been spending an hour tearing my hair out trying to find out why my Shutdown/Logoff dialogs were not using the per-pixel blending correctly. I had 32-bit TGA image with alpha translucency and it painted them with white or black where it should have been translucent, after digging around the net and looking at other skins, I did an analyze on one that showed invalid attributes Trans and PerPixel in the sections for the dialogs that when adding them to my own skin made the dialogs translucent.
I was hoping that this would be fixed soon.
