transparancy

[mazzeddine]

Hi

I have a menu using the transparancy property set as:
overfilter="Fade(duration=0.2);Alpha(opacity=50);Shadow(color='#777777', Direction=0, Strength=0)";

This property is applied to the background color (offbgcolor="#") as well as the font color (offcolor="#").

Is it possible to apply the transparancy only to the background?

Waiting for your reply.

Many thanx.

Hi Mohamed,

...Is it possible to apply the transparancy only to the background?

I do not believe it is possible; at least not using overfilter and outfilter settings. The overfilter and outfilter are applied to the entire menu. The only way I could think to come close to such a thing would be to use a partially transparent gif image as the background, and remove the transparency from the filters.

Anyone else have any other ideas?

Isn't 'transparent' a property, as in offbgcolor="transparent";?

Or have I been drinking too much again...

An excellent point, as always. Maybe it's me who has been drinking too much. I read Mohamed's request to mean is there a way to manipulate the level of transparency in the background. If he wants all or none, then setting the offbgcolor to transparent and deleting the Alpha() filter from overfilter and outfilter would be the way to go.

Or have I been drinking too much again...

Today, this sounds to me like an excellent idea!

Cheers,
