I am encountering a problem ever since I made the word wheel transparent. Anything I type gets typed again in a light grey offset behind my text:



You may not beable to see it there very well, so I have enlarged it for you:



Does anyone know what might be causing this? I can't seem to find a way to prevent it... but I'm probably just overlooking something.

A little help ?

the reason that happens is because you have given the word wheel a semi-transparent background.

After some experiments I have come to find that Microsoft has now made a new limitation where the wordwheel can't use a semi-transparent or fully transparent background.

Kinda sucks since it worked in 8.1 but theres nothing you can do about it

It seems to set the text in another element which I guess is showing up through the transparent element.

Here is a screenshot from the ever useful MsnCoreViewer

Damn Microsoft >.<.

Since this 'other element' that you mentioned Eljay is generating this ghost text, is it possible to set this other element to have a different font color?

Thank you both for your replies, and for your tests to find out the underlying issue .

You could try hiding it...

Hiding WordWheelElement (which is the one I think displays the ghost test) would hide all it's childs, therefore the whole wordwheel will be hidden.
My suggestion is that you add Foreground=argb(0,0,0,0); to the WordWheelElement tag.

...hmmm...one thing...where is this WordWheelElement tag??

I'm trying to make look like the contacts list, but i can't find the element!!

3rd of 4th line from top of your 1001 definitions file is where you find the wordwheelelement tag.

<Element LayoutPos=Client Layout=BorderLayout() Foreground=argb(0,0,0,0);>
<WordWheelElement id=atom(WordWheelElement)/>
</Element>

in another words, added Foreground=argb(0,0,0,0); and nothing happened

<Element LayoutPos=Client Layout=BorderLayout()>
<WordWheelElement id=atom(WordWheelElement) Foreground=argb(0,0,0,0);/>
</Element>

thats the correct code i beleive, although i havent actually tested it.
