    Is there somewhere a new skin using MorphOS 2 improvements?

    I would like to saw it to learn how to create new skins with transparency.
    Maybe it exists a tuto?
    Maybe someone can tell us how to do.

    Thx.

    I fixed your topic. Please avoid 'MOS'. Thanks.

    About your problem... have a look how the other skins provided with the OS doing it and learn what is possible. Try some PNGs with Alpha channel maybe. ;-)

    Ok, thank you tokai.

    About skins provided with Morphos, I dont saw transparency :-( Should you give me a skin name using it please?

    bout PNGs with Alpha, I tryed it without succes :-( Instead of transparency I have black.

    Can I use alpha on all GFX? borders, gadgets title barre?

    thx

    So, so so. Il will search more by myself. :-)
    I started my brain this morning and some ideas came on it ;-). For black instead of transparency, maybe I need to invert alpha, and for new skins using transparency, maybe this nice effect was used with elegance and it dont hurt my eyes ;-)

    I will search more and come back her to tell what I found.

    MorphOS 2.0 comes with skin enchancements for the titlebar. Sadly our gfx artist didn't have enough time to make such skin yet. I'll see if I can make some reference skin for the SDK.

    @tokai: I dont found any skin using transparency on MorphOS 2 :-(

    unfortunatly PNGs with alpha dont make transparency, but alpha is displayed black.

    @Hi jacadcaps:
    thank you very much.

    @serge

    You need to boot MorphOS with enabled 3D layers in order to build or use skins that feature 8BIT alpha masks.

    It's the case. I'm using 3D layers, but Alpha doesn't work.
    Do you have a skin example please?
