Would it be possible to make this menu a bit darker or less transparent so the menu in back doesn't bleed through.

Thanks

Ah, bummer. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I hadn't realized panels could stack but I suppose a lot of script settings windows will show this behavior. I'll tinker with it and will post edits along with a new zip file.

edit: looks like the best option is just to remove all transparency from the panel. See here for an updated zip file for new users, existing users can just replace Stencil.xml in your Alaska/colors directory with the code below (also includes a minor change to darken some video info labels)...

Code:

Already covered.

Hitcher Wrote:Are you using the latest Github build?

Juanflaco Wrote:Yep, you'll need to grab a newer Alaska build from github. The flags have changed. The missing flags you've circled are now transparent so the background shows through, and the rating / year text will show up darker (same color as the other flags.)

Hi, Folks

Great color themes here.
I'm trying to make one of my on, but this .xpr files are giving me a headache.
I am using XPRExpress to build a .XPR file just like the ones that came with Alaska, with the same name as my color .XML file and placed it on the media folder. But when i choose the color theme it doesn't load the files within the .xpr.

I've checked the .xpr with XPRExpress and the internal structure is right. It has a folder named "backdrops" with a filter.png file inside. But still no go.

Can somebody help me on this problem?

Thanks!
