Summary: Rainmeter skin backgrounds are not transparent (Kwin & Compiz) Product: Wine Version: 1.1.19 Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: miketrml@gmail.com
Created an attachment (id=20607) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=20607) Rainmeter's black background in a virtual window. The black border is also evident on the desktop.
I have looked throughout the database to find one or two workable programs similar to this bug. I will list them here within this bug report as no listed bug specificly deals with Rainmeter's issue.
Rainmeter is a program which displays various GUI elements within Windows, featuring system information neatly displayed in a varying array of skinned elements, whether they be text, abstract graphic, anime, or otherwise.
The program installs itself with no issue. The skin loads given the nature and workaround of bug 18142, a GDIPLUS-related issue in which Winetricks will install.
The problem is presented upon actually having loaded a skin. The background appears to be virtually black, and upon changing the program's transparency from an option within Rainmeter, the black background also changes transparency with the skin, allowing the wallpaper behind it to show through.
When initially clicking on the window, the black background goes transparent for a half a second or so and then reprints the black background. Also, no matter if you're using Compiz or Kwin under KDE 4.2.2, this is a problem persisting in it's existance.
10091 is a similar bug to this, but this problem persists under Kwin as already stated. Secondly, the bug also exists regardless whether or not Rainmeter is loaded within a virtual window.
