Hi Richard.
I think I'll currently stick to the transparency values right now. I will
add some watermarks to the main menu to make the menu look better. But I
you want to change the transparency values for the buttons then edit the
base.xml file and look for the following entries:
<!-- base class for setting the transparency of the button images -->
<imagetype name="base_image_active">
<filename />
<alpha>170</alpha>
</imagetype>
<imagetype name="base_image_selected">
<filename />
<alpha>220</alpha>
</imagetype>
<imagetype name="base_image_inactive">
<filename />
<alpha>130</alpha>
</imagetype>
You can increase the alpha values to find your desired transparency
setting.
Best regards
Robert
