The background for the PA Menu should be a PNG file, so that skinners can use transparency to create very cool effects.

This is coming I believe in the next alpha release of the menu when John is done with the negotiations with some clients
Delphi doesn't support transparency to the desktop. We use alpha PNGs within the menu itself though for the icons, buttons and hover overlays.
yeah I was about to edit what I posted John anyways at least you cleared that up
EDIT: wait John you said Desktop and the user was talking about the menu? I'm kind of confused now...
Delphi supports alpha PNGs within a form. So the menu components can have alpha to each other (making for hover effects and well blended icons). But it does not support alpha between itself and other Windows applications (usually the desktop).
ahh ok that explains a lot to me thanks John
