All my profile is done that way

Sorry for that point, but that could be a great thing for people using TB with the mouse on a second screen

Already done : that is the problem, it display the place where the button is, with the color defined as transparent in the tab

Also, I would turn on the button borders option so you can see where the button is. TB should draw an outline around the button. That would help to know if TB actually knows that you have a button there maybe?

Already done, no problem, buton is here and is functionning

I will try and test and post back...


My thougts are :
I don't know what the way it is functionning to have something transparent... (technical aspect) ; I think about some logical operation between bit values of pixels between the different layers...

there are 3 layers :
the screen display is the first one : I want to see it
the tab is the second one
the buton is the third one

tab has a color defined for transparency
buton has the same color defined for transparancy (anything else lead to a non transparent buton)

if there is no buton, tab layer is not visible
if there is a normal buton, buton is visible, and nothing else is visible under it
if the buton is transparent and the same color as the tab, that particular color is displayed on the screen at the place the buton is and the screen is not visible under it : is it the buton color that is dispalyed or an interaction between buton and tab : no way to conclude...

I think the transparent thing is only available when nothing else is under or over EITHER the tab OR the buton, but not available whith the two ones altogether.

I don't know enough in pixel display stuff to go forehead in that thougts...
