Need better way of doing transparencies!

Neo Skinz · 21st May 2000, 17:56

That stupid region.txt file gets on my nerves! I just cant work out how to use it, though I havent really had the time to work at it!

But there is bound to be a much better way of doin transparencies for the Winamp interface.

My idea is a text file that goes something like...

[Transparency Main]
Transparency = 255,0,255

[Transparency Equalizer]
Transparency = 0,0,0

etc

The numbers represent RGB color values, so the specified color that is provided will be set as transparent on the skin!

I think this would be a major improvement over that stupid hard to use region.txt file that has so many ppl confused!

Pleaze make this idea happen Winamp guys!

Yeah, this is pretty much what I had i mind. I can use region.txt but it isn't easy enough, and doesn't let you use trasparency in the playlist of minibrowser, both of which could be useful.
