Black rectangle behind taskbar

[xRawrie]

I'm playing around with my theme and I encountered a problem where theres a black rectangle behind my taskbar. I have tried looking in the source and resdata but i dont see anything that would make this happen. Also the taskbar is positioned to the left side all the time and I wanted it to be centered.

If you have any idea or clue on how to fix this please let me know. Much thanks.

Yes, aeonsoft made the choice to create 2 base rectangles, one for the game, and one for the menu bar. This is why it's black behind it, there is nothing else rendered in that retancle other than the menu. To fix this you can use 2 methods, one more easier to do as the other.

My prefered advice would be to only use the main menu bar in the seperate rectangle and make sure you color the whole area. Everything that comes 'above' will have to be a seperate APP, that will be in the game rendering and can use transculency right.

The more difficult option is to totally ignore the 2nd rectangle and make the app in the game rendering, in which the black behind will dissapear, but is a lot of coding in the process (especially for the 'start' menu).

Ofcourse option 2 would lead to better rendering to what you want to create, but option 1 can be nicely worked away aswell if you spend some time.

Option 1 is focussed on graphical changes, as where option 2 is focussed on (extensive) coding of the source.

Good luck.
