Hi,
i noticed that several themes has transparent popup menus. Is it possible to make the popup menus of simplicity also transparent? I can's figure it out what's the crux that makes the menus transparent.

Edit: I just found grdTransparent.dll and put it in my modules dir. Also added a line in step.rc to load it as mentioned in the documentation.
The documentation always says available commands in step.rc: *grdTransparent
module? group? Never heared this things. OK I'm new to litestep but this isn't explained in the manual :(

Alpa should be a value between 0 and 255 which indicates the level of transparency.

after loading the module in your theme.rc, put something like this in your popup.rc
*grdTransparent popup2-2.1.7.dll 230 1

but make sure you put in the correct version number for your popup module. Also, the " 230 " in the above example is the oppacity setting, meaning that a value of 255 would be completely opaque (solid), while a value of 0 will make it invisible. Don't worry about the group number for the time being.

Thanks for helping. The manual said the complete different thing: "don't use the .dll extension" :)
