Huh?! Transparency works for me when passing the "--with-macsdk=10.5" to configure. Are you sure the compilation was ok (e.g. did you make sure you didn't mistype something)? Transparency _does_not_work_ when using the 10.6 SDK. This is what has been reported already (click the link to the Issue report in Joshua's post). > In addition I did try the same using the core-text branch, > which (apart from not being transparent at all) does some strange ghosting > when you scroll text with transparency < 100. Core Text does not support transparency (it never did) -- it's just another one of these things that I haven't gotten around to. Since transparency seems so important to many people I strongly urge anybody who uses this setting to try to fix the outstanding issues (fix 10.6 SDK, fix Core Text) and send me a patch. This is extremely low priority for me at the moment since I do not use transparency at all. Please help me out!
