transparency question Thread last updated on 2006-05-08 20:33:23

Does making modules in litestep (taskbar, popup, xlabels, etc) transparent use more system resources (RAM, Video RAM)? It seems like it doesn't in my computer but i just wanna make sure. Thanks

What more can you really say?

I dunno - but most people usually do anyway. =P

True.

Why? is it because the video card has to work double hard to show the transparent desktop objects + wallpaper (or whatever's underneath). I know all this seems elementary but someone pls enlighten me anyway. Also, i opened task manager both when i had the transparency on and off and noticed that there was very little difference between the memory usage used if none at all. Thanks.
