ListboxSelectedBackground Transparency Issues

[markus625]

Hey guys been working on a mod for the Dreamplex skin for Rossie's Youvix skin.

If you have alook at the screenshot below the selection bar which is semi transparent shows the tv background and no matter what color i use for the <color name="ListboxSelectedBackground" color="menubackground" /> element does not do what i want it to i,e show the transparent layer over the fanart.

So basically i want the element <color name="ListboxSelectedBackground" color="" /> to have no color but show the layer below it.

Ive tried the below colors

<color name="background2" value="#51010101"/>
<color name="outlinemenubackground" value="#2462625d" />
<color name="menubackground" value="#24161515" />
<color name="menubackground2" value="#17000000"/>
<color name="menubackground3" value="#30000000"/>
<color name="windowbackground" value="#24161515" />
<color name="transparent" value="#ffffffff" />

what happens when you make the transparent bit of the selectionbar the same as menubackground?

Its just darker almost black.

With the ListboxSelectedBackground set to background ie <color name="background" value="#00000000"/> you get a black background

The only way around this is to use a solid color for the selectionPixmap and to make the overlay darker on the right.

@Rossi

How do i get the tv shows section to show up like the movie section like in the screenshot i did a few posts back, cant seem to find out how and the text is in the same place as the original.

Ok got it now in the params file edit y and x positions and restart gui to take effect.
