Tranparency not working on some machines

[kpsmith]

I created a Menu and set the transparency using the color selection tool. It looked fine on most every machine but on one machine the color I marked to be transparent was no longer transparent. Weird?

Anyone else seen this? I'm sure it is something machine specific.

Hi,

Take a look at the last post in this topic: http://www.indigorose.com/ubb/Forum2/HTML/000266.html it will explain what the problem is.


The problem of "transparent" background not being transparent on certain machines is due to monitor setting.
If the colour chosen for background is from a 24 bit pallet (16+ millions of colours), then it will be visible on monitors set for 16 bit (65K)or 8 bit (256) colours, unless you happen to select a colour that is common to all pallets.

The safest procedure is to use white or black for background since these two colours are common to all pallets.


Hopefully this helps.
