Hi,

I'm building my first theme, and using LSbox but having problems making magic pink transparency work.

If I leave out LsBoxHeight and LsBoxWidth, the box won't show, even though it should read those values from the LsBoxBackGround? With Height and Width, it makes the box but it is a black background (boxbg.png is a 1125x40 png with all FF00FF). BTW, this is the same if I pull the bg img altogether.

There is no path problem; the shortcut imgs (same location) load fine.

FYI, I am using LSBox 3.0 to gain the Drag/Drop support.

Thanks for any help!

My .box follows:
LsBoxName desktopBox
LsBoxX -50
LsBoxY 50
LsBoxHeight 1125
LsBoxWidth 40
LsBoxBackGround "boxbg.png"
LsBoxZOrder HugBottom
*Shortcut "Testing" 0 0 "fulltrash.png" .none .none !Amp_Show
*Shortcut "CREdit" 0 45 "notepad.png" .none .none #D !credit

Ok...seemingly resolved. Something to do with the windows display settings. Reset to Windows Standard and all is well now...mostly.

Both v. 3.0pre and 2.95 will be transparent as desired, but v3.0pre will not perform the mouseover image swap. 2.95 works properly, but doesn't have drag/drop support.

Has anyone else seen the mouseover react strangely? On my W2K box at work, when I mouseover an icon, it flickers like it is trying to switch icons, but never does.
