Transparency problems in Photoshop CS2

I've noticed this bug when running Photoshop CS2 and Serious Sam: The Second
Encounter. Both these apps have splash screens with transparent backgrounds,
which are transparent when using Metacity. But when using Compiz Fusion, the
backgrounds render black.

I'm not sure if the component should be wine-gui or wine-gdiplus, so I guessed
and selected the former.

Attached is a screenshot of the problem.

Are you sure it's not a bug in compiz?

Transparency Problem in Serious Sam

The black area around the logo in the centre of the screen should be
transparent. It looks normal if desktop effects (Compiz Fusion) are turned off.

It certainly could be, but I have experienced this in both Windows apps I run
in Wine (Photoshop and Serious Sam), but not in any other native app with
Compiz.

Just as a note the Photoshop splash screen on metacity isn't truly transparent
- it only uses the current background. If you select a window on the taskbar,
the splash screen will be on top if the new window but the background will be
from the old window.

I thought this might be the case. Could Wine check if a compositing window
manager is being used, and use true transparency?

I think this should probably have slightly higher priority, considering that
most new distros ship with Compiz or some other composting window manager. This
visual glitch is the first thing that you see when you open Photoshop...

Run Photoshop in a WINE virtual desktop (winecfg).  See if that fixes it.

Worked for me with CS (not CS2).

That does work, but only because Compiz isn't being used in the wine desktop.

Technically, I think, Wine is acting the same way that Windows would at the
moment - reading what's under the window and then using that to calculate the
transparency. BUT, I think that with Compiz running, when WINE tries to read
the background, you just get garbage because Compiz doesn't act like Metacity
does (it uses OpenGL and treats the window contents as textures)...

Is this still an issue in current (1.0-rc5 or newer) wine?

I still either get a black or garbled background - this screenshot was taken
with rc5.

I have the exact same problem with Photoshop 7.0. Is there any way it could be
the video card or video card drivers? I'm using a Geforce FX 5600 (I think, I
don't remember ever changing it in the last 5 years).

No longer black, with compiz. Transparency isn't perfect, however..

No longer black, in 1.3.8, compiz 0.8.6, ubuntu 10.10.

Transparency isn't perfect, but that should be a new bug (and may be a compiz
bug, would need investigation).

Note that Photoshop doesn't actually use transparency, it just creates a larger
window with the background color. The extra shading is because of compiz,
nothing much we can do about that.

Nothing was fixed in Wine, this is a compiz bug.
