Hi All, I think I understand how to achieve translucent taskbar,start panel etc under wb5 (using SkinStudio). However, I do not know how to take a bitmap and make a TGA formatted graphic that will work properly with wb5. I have read Adam,s articles on this subject and even tried using his converter, but there is no real effect. I also understand that there has to be an alpha channel, but I am not sure what should be in there. Should it just be a transparent mask or what. Any help you ...
