Icons not transparent

Hi, 

I'm currently using Fences 4.0.7.2 and Windows 10 22H2.

For some reason the transparency of the icons within the fences is not inherited and stays at 0%

I'd appreciate to get a hint how to fix this issue.

 

Cheers

Matthias

Hello Basj, 

imho I gathered all Information that might be important to find an solution.

The issue occurs on all opacity percentages. 

 

I installed Fences on an clean new Windows installation and had the issue from the beginning.

 

I hope the additional Information helps to locate the issue.

 

Cheers

Not sure what your are trying to do? To have the all the icons or the Fences back ground at 0% transparency? ie. Solid? Please elaborate what you're trying to achieve.

Thank you,

I'd like to have the icons in the same transparency as the fence.

That means:

  • fence transparency 20% => icon transparency 20%
  • fence transparency 40% => icon transparency 40%
  • fence transparency 60% => icon transparency 60%
  • .....

As you see in my last post and as i mentored in my first post, the icons are always fully visible (0% transparent) despite the setting of the fence.

Please feel free to ask if you need some more information.

Thank you

Matthias

fence transparency 20% => icon transparency 20%
fence transparency 40% => icon transparency 40%
fence transparency 60% => icon transparency 60%
End of Matthias62's quote

The Icon transparency does follow that setting when your mouse not hover over a Fence. But the icon will turn into 100% (Not transparent) when your mouse hover that Fence.

Refer screenshot below.

Mouse not over the Fence

Mouse over the Fence

If you wish the Icon stay transparent when mouse over the fence, that option is not available.

Thank you,

That is exactly my problem. As I described in my posts the transparency of the icons does NOT follow the the fence settings.

I do not now how to clarify it. Please read my posts carefully.    

From previous post:

As you can see, there is NO MOUSE HOVERING the Fence !

AND the icons are NOT transparent.

And that is exactly what I'm talking about.
