lja 48 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Is there a way to change the transparency in chocolate? In detail view on a light backdrop, the overview cannot be seen.This has changed recently. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19298307/listV.PNG Edited February 6, 2014 by lja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14903 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 What version of Chocolate are you using and have you modified any style files? The list view has a dark underlay now and the backdrop does not go underneath it like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14903 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 That's the MBC version. What is the version of Chocolate? Can you post the entire screen shot? You can put it directly in the post with the little image button in the button bar above... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14903 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I'm not sure how you made that happen. Is that aspect ratio correct or did you squish the image when you captured it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14903 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Are you on a 4:3 display? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lja 48 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 That's correct. By the way it's the same for all movies with the light backdrop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lja 48 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Are you on a 4:3 display? No. It's a HD Monitor. This also happens on my HTPC which is set up to work with a 2.37 screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14903 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Go into the config->Chocolate General. Under 4:3 options un-check "Stretch Backdrop". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14903 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 What is checked in there? Give me a screen shot of the two Chocolate config panels. I cannot make the backdrop go under the list unless I'm in 4:3 mode and have that option checked. Here is what it should look like: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lja 48 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Actually that's what it looked like before the last upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14903 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I just noticed in your config screen shots that something is seriously weird in your monitor setup. The buttons and title for the config page are distorted and mis-placed. Is your screen an odd resolution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14903 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Yeah, I'd say that's odd. 1.6:1. But I'm not sure what would have changed in chocolate to make it behave any differently. Did you have a video driver update or changes lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lja 48 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 No. The update notice came up and I followed. Strange that it has happened on two separate PCs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lja 48 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 OK. I have MBClassic 117 and Chocolate 3.0.3.1 installed on another PC. When the update notice came up I clicked No. There was no change before or after. The screen remained as intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14903 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Do both machines have an odd aspect ratio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lja 48 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Do both machines have an odd aspect ratio? It's the same monitor for the two machines. I am not using the HTPC at present. I rolled back to chocolate v 3.0.2.11. The colour returned. It therefore looks like it could be something to do with the upgrade.

WWWestern 94 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 ebr, could it be a problem in displaypreferences.db? Then its rebuilding could help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14903 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 No, it isn't the display prefs. It is one of those oddities with MCML and weird screen sizes. lja - try 3.0.3.5 and see if it is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14903 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Try all of the different backdrop options in the 4:3 section of the chocolate config. I'm pretty sure WMC is reporting your screen as non-widescreen since it isn't at least 1.78:1. When I forced WMC into 4:3 mode I was able to make the backdrop work properly by fiddling with those options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
