Tasks + Transparancy + XP = ? Thread last updated on 2004-01-12 14:39:14

Hi, It seems windows XP is not only using the "255,0,255" pink for transparancy, but is also putting shade on that color - making it too dark for tasks.dll to detect it as transparant areas.

Is there any fix for this or could it _be_ fixed?
One way i guess would be to let the user define which colours to be detected as trasparant.

If I didn't make myself understood, have a look here:

it's a known bug for xp, happens with the tray modules too.

The image should be working now..

So theres nothing to do about this?
I've tried changing the default icons for folders but I can't figure out which icon to replace..

:/ i'll stop disucssing, as i dont have this problem (i dont use litestep anymore), but if you set tasks to use a transparent bg image, icons WILL have that pink halo in xp, or at least that happened the last time i tried it a couple of months ago.
