Hello!
During my skin development and converting for PLi i was noticed that transparency effects in menus in PLi make a lot of troubles.
Transparency level for menus can be set to extremely large interval and even in most lowest value it makes some skins too many transparent (for example on other images same skin look mush better). Why that happen and how that can be fixed? Is there plans to fix that in next image?
Thanks for answers!

I have no idea.. Didn't even know there was a problem with transparency.

I guess this is dm500 / dm600 specific.

it's just a matter of scale, min/max values and stepsize, I believe you can even configure that in your enigma config. Or worst case in enigma sourcecode.

[DimitarCC]

I didnt find that in config! If someone know can you tell me where to set it? Ya maybe source code is option but.....i think is good that to be made by Pli developpers since they better know where is that portion of the code. As i said its not enigma trouble since for example in SifTeam the step is much smaller.
Ya its possible that is DM500/DM600 issue but i cant confirm since i have only that 2 types. I know in Enigma2 there is no problem but i am talking Enigma1 soft.

what if you ask how Sifteam did it?

[pieterg]

600 was using a different alpha step size then we intended, just fixed that in openpli.

Do you have the same problem with the 500? The 500 has always had this alpha step size, but we could decrease it if you think that might improve things.

I suggest you first check out the result of the change for the 600 in the next OpenPLi daily build, and report back whether that helped.

[DimitarCC]

Yes i will check it when possible! Thanks! And i dont intend to ask Sifteam since i dont like Sifteam! I think PLi is better just have to be fixed that small issue!

[DimitarCC]

p.s. menu look better in 500. But step size is still to big! On every click of right arrow button transparency increase with 15%. So 6 click and full transparency! Shouldn't be smaller?

[hemertje]

Yes i will check it when possible! Thanks!

Check our OpenPLi Beta images from the build of tonight, so it will be available tomorrow via our OpenPLi Nightly Builds menu on the top left

[DimitarCC]

OK! When i find little time i will check it

[hemertje]

and is it working as you like?

[DimitarCC]

I was just finish testing it! With the skin currently testing it work better! Thanks!

[hemertje]

better = OK?

so none further enhancements/improvements are necessary?

[DimitarCC]

Ya i think for not need improvements! Thanks!
