I chose your blind as the example in the screen shot because it is a fantastic piece of work and I want to use it!!

Zoomba has responded to the helpdesk ticket and is passing it along to the proper developers to see what might be happening.  

John -

The menu borders on Vienna display correctly on this rig which has proprietary Fujitsu/ATI IGP 340M Catalyst drivers. However, I am seeing the white border on any skin I have that uses .bmp menubackground images with magic pink in the 4px border area. I have no clue why, but makes me wonder if the menu border issue is somehow driver related.

And yes, I'm a guy.

Well, hopefully we can get this resolved soon enough then Thanks Zoomba.

Sorry Daiwa for the gender confusion..  

S'OK - how would you know?

I don't think the white borders are supposed to show.. those look like Classic. It looks like WB is having drawing issues before the mouseover refreshes. HyperPaint set wrong maybe?

Well, you see....there's these birds and these bees....and.....

That had no effect for me. It was a good suggestion though!

Sure was, wish it would have fixed it.. dang it !   

I've had this prob many times...Allprogs menu does not support transparency well...gruoped menu and favorites neither.

Using the same opaque bmp for all 3 fixed it for me.

But there is no pinked trans. in Vienna.. so that can't be it at least in this case   

When I suggested a forum for skinners to get together with the developers BRAD pointed me to the existing forums.
Phoon didnt post to it ,but there is a section for STARDOCK support.If they are not going to pay attention to long time users and skinners...whats the point ?

Seems a fantastic way to bug shoot...lots of free QC.I posted this same issue(and many others  )and got diddly from Stardock.I put up pretty pictures and described the probs...and nothing.

If its in the forums,EVERYONE benefits(at least the developers could let you know whether or not its a known issue)...make a report and it only goes between the sender and Stardock.

Neil responded to ONE issue...didnt say ANYTHING about fixing the prob...just asked a question and split.With his question,we were able to regedit the problem away temporarily.

Is that really how you want us using WB?heheheheheh...sending users into the registry...niiiiiice.  

I.R., I've seen this for quite awhile. As I pointed out, Blackcomb does it and I don't believe that one has any transparency in Allprogs menu.

Zoomba,
Any further developments in the support ticket on this? Let's not let it fall to the background if possible.

Thanks all!!

(now, where's that pic Po posted of someone slamming their head into their desk...)

Same Stardock, different Mike   

On my machine I'm seeing results similar to vStyler's.

Phoon: Any idea how you got that white border on the 'All Programs' menu?

I've notified the WB lead developer of the issue. Thanks for letting us know about this

Mike,
If I knew how I got the white borders, I would know how to solve the problems of the white borders..  
For reference, Boxxi's latest skin, Arran ( Link ) is doing this as well.

Vista doesn't have that darned pop-up All Programs menu..

Phoon: Arran works okay for me. Is this giving you a white border on the same menu?

PurrBall: Indeed, which is why reproducing it on the majority of my machines would be impossible

Yes, same white border.



Rather stick a red-hot poker in my eye..

Hello all, I've been able to remove that white border like this;

Right click My Computer and click properties on the bottom of the menu. That will take you to System Properties - Go to the Advanced Tab and to 'Performance Settings' - This will show the 'Visual Effects' tab. The second item is 'fade or slide menus into view'. UNcheck that one should make you all good. At least it worked here.

I am not sure but I think this is caused by when a skin has an annimated menu or menu highlight, it conflicts with the Windows animation on that setting.
Hope it works for you also,
MitchE323

Hey thanks mitche323 for the solution it works for me

Oughta make Phoon Ecstatic
