Help: Triple monitors - Transparency Issue

Disabling Transparency doesn't work all the way

Title states it all. Not sure if Start8 was built to accomidate a setup with a horizontal resolution as high as 5800+, but whenever I run my system on triple (portrait or landscape), the transparency on the right-half of the screen is disabled. 

 

It's incredibly annoying as I can't read the time very well, and have to wind up clicking the clock to have it pop out. 

 

I've attached some images, so you all can see what I'm driving at. I had to shrink it, or it woulda taken up the entire post - but if you tell it to open in another tab or use the link I provided, you should see it in the native resolution.

Can't see the time ><

 

Anyone know a quick fix, or should I just keep making noise and hope they patch this in the next release?

 

Thanks in advance!

You should be able to set it so Start8 doesn't make the bar solid and then you will not have this issue.

We will see about resolving this issue with very wide screens in the next update.

Hey Neil, thanks for the reply.

 

Yes, Start8 is able to turn the entire bar translucent, but that is the exact opposite of what I'm trying to accomplish. What I want is a solid bar all the way across. Thanks so much about looking into patching this in future a release! Until then I can just make due.
