Ah...yes...Greetings...

Hmmm...so...I've got a question,
I just started working on a theme and thought I'd try applying the elements I had finished in my mock up (that was...at the moment...the titlebar ) so I copied those images and their layermask onto ThemePark..

and got..

...this result:





So...what am I missing here?

You cannot have alpha transparency apart from solid and invisible (100% and 0%) on Titlebars and menubars AFAIK... I seem to recall a bunch of cool Izawa titlebar hacks but they all involved cutouts, no transparent effects like those.

Ah.. thanks for the answer...though I don't really know what alpha transparency is ...anyways I figured it out, the background of the area to be transparent has to be black, not white, as it was in my case...works wonders now...

..guess I've ought'a share it.

I like to see a bigger version of that but it looks really really cool.

Glad to hear that ... though ...what you see is just about all I've completed so far, and I just keep hitting the wall with everything...so I guess it'll be some time before it's completed... (especially since I'm new on this)
