Summary: Splash and About windows of Photoshop 7,CS,CS2 transparancy not dynamic Product: Wine Version: CVS/GIT Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
The splash and About windows of probably all versions of Photoshop, and for that matter Picasa, tend to have a central opaque portion surrounded by a transparant portion. The transparant portion is not rendered properly. It's good enough to fool you sometimes; it's as if it samples the background once and does the transparancy properly then, but from then on acts as if it's opaque, keeping the originally computed sample of the background no matter what the real background does.
Believe it or not, this really annoys some users.
The About screen of Photoshop 7 is a good place to see why it's a bit annoying; ugly debris from the Help menu is captured in amber while the About screen is still up.
