[Dragon T]

Is there a trick to getting Metal Window Gradients to work correctly?
I have tried replacing the gradient with alternate gradients with variably unreliable results.

And I have also tried replacing the bevels and textures, while keeping the original Aqua gradient, resulting in the gradient not being visible.
Do the textures and bevels need to be under a certain level of transparency to allow the gradient to be visible?
It seems to be an awkward balancing act.
Is there a known way to make this work?
At the moment I'm relying on trial and error.... mostly error.

Mine is set to 100% transparency and does nothing

Yeah, Dragon, you don't have to touch the bevels but you might wanna
set the transparency of the texture really low ..
Do you check the result with the preview in TP or by applying the theme?
I always apply the theme to be sure that everything looks correct.

Same here. The TP preview doesn't show metal texture or the gradient, you'll need to apply it first.

A note about bevels, remember that the bevel masks need to have the same dimensions as the bevels themselves, but all of your transparency should be done in the bevel rather than the mask.
