User Account boxes

User Account boxes are transparent

Any way to adjust the transparency of the User Account boxes when creating a custom logon screen?

Everything works great except on a couple of my screens it is invisble. I have to move my mouse over the screen to get it to focus and then I can click on it to type my password.

Gratefully,

Let me clarify what I mean. The wallpaper is beautiful, it is not transparent. The Accounts sign-in box is transparent. It seems, according to other posts I've read, some people have asked if there was any way to make them transparent. Somehow all of mine are transparent to some degree, depending on the color of the wallpaper behind it. I have one that is totally invisible. What I have to do to make them visible is to mouse over them, and they will come into focus, or press the down arrow and the accounts will appear in succession as I press it.

I know I'm late to the party, but as I was searching for an answer to the same issue, and have since figured it out, I think it makes sense to put the answer here for others to find.

You need to add the line in bold to the UIFILE.txt

<style resid=accountlistss>
    element
    {
        background: argb(0,0,0,0);
           alpha:255;
        fontface: rcstr(3);
    }
    ...

</style>

The line will probably already be there, but the value will be lower, like 30 or similar.

Hope this helps,

James
