Transparency bug

Unable to get semi-transparent background for windows explorer

June 1, 2021 1:00 PM from

Goal: To get semi-transparent backgrounds to keep text readable on white windows
Result: Only full or no transparency options
System: Windows 10 home 64bit v10.0.19041

It seems when I input values, they affect neighboring outcomes as well, as if there is a rollover issue in the 8-bit numbering

I'm happy to help with any more information needed

Below are some screenshots showing different combinations of values and their effects:

Are you running any other applications which might be impacting explorer in anyway?

Examples being start menu applications, anything which does custom font rendering etc?
