Black instead of traslucent on per-pixel skins during transition

from Stardock Forums
Hi,

When I'm using a per-pixel skin on windowblinds, just renders the per-pixel bits as black when using dragging effects and transitions. Any chance winfx could add alpha to the textures on the transitions? Would look a lot slicker.

Cheers,

Mike

It should not be rendering transparency as black unless your video card does not support HW accelerated per pixel alpha (WFX should say under performance info)

Hi,
I have the same problem, transparency is rendered as black at the beginning when using such effect as open doors under window transitions. When window get opened transparency became seen correctly, but at the beginning(i.e. during the process of opening the window) I see black borders.
