[Resolved] List item background no longer transparent

[ehuonder]

I'm not exactly sure which version I noticed this, around 11.79 (running 11.83 now)... I'm constantly messing with my custom theme, so I just assumed that I broke it... Well, now I'm trying to fix it, and I can't find where... Before the issue, my List Item text used transparent backgrounds on non-selected items, with the animated selector on the selected text. Now, I have a darker blue background behind unselected items in the list. Was this a GameEx change? or did I mess up a setting or image somewhere? What setting/image controls this?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Be glad to try to help. Can you provide me with a copy of your theme.ini file? Also, if you can screen capture may be helpful as well. If you are using a Version 4 theme, there is a setting under Options within Theme Editor that you can disable color key to allow for transparency.

Thanks Draco. Files attached.

In the image, Favorites is selected. The lists in the lower-middle of the screen used to be the same as the 'Change View Back Home Exit' above and to the left (meaning no background)... Let me know if you need more info.

All is fine with your theme.ini settings. I think the issue is a change in the Unselected.png file located \Gameex\Themes\WOPR\Media folder. I recommend loading it into an image editor (Photoshop or GIMP or other editor that will allow you to work with layers and opacity. I loaded Default Dark Gloss as a Version 4 theme as it has the same color background for unselected list items. I then loaded the Unselected.png file into GIMP, added an alpha channel to the image (under Layers options) set the opacity % to 0%, saved the file. It now shows as the black background instead of dark blue.

Just in case you do not have either of these programs, I am sending a copy attached to this post.

Thanks Draco! You had it right. My Unselected.png file got deleted, so my alpha was gone. Thanks for the quick support.

Anytime! Glad to be of help for someone today! So when are you going to submit the WOPR theme for competition? It is an awesome adaptation of the movie images and feel!

Yeah, I'm still working on Logos. I'd also have to 'uncustomize' it a little. I should simplify my ideas to at least get V1 released... Maybe the contest is the perfect motivator!
