Title: Start menu Blur issue
Post by: xXiNightXx on September 24, 2010, 03:08:08 am
Hi, im trying to hide the right side of the start menu. I managed to hide it, but there is a little sliver of blur shown on the right side.

Use negative values in placeslist and logoff?

no effect. Still the same. Tried making a shadow but the right side just reapers. Is there a way to break the blur in the start menu?

You can have an image there with 1% opacity and mess with the alphathreshold:int and that'll tell DWM not to renderblur there.

There's one already there. Just change it. Until you see an effect.

Vista Legacy > Start Menu > Basic > PlacesList

Start Menu > Panels > Basic > PlacesList
Start Menu > Panels > Basic > Logoff

AlphaThreshold:

You can set the transparency value to be used as a threshold  by entering a value between 0 and 255 in the  box. All transparency values above this threshold will become opaque and all transparency values below or equal to this threshold will become completely transparent.

Like Panda said: You can have an image there with 1% opacity and mess with the alphathreshold:int and that'll tell DWM not to renderblur there.

What opacity are your images? Use the alpha threshold to make them transparent.

didn't check it, but maybe defaultpanesize:rect settings to 0,0,0,0 helps?

This one helped with eliminating the OpenBox for realizing the Leftside transparency-blur (image etc has still to be in the sub-class)
