Window is transparent when I don't want it to be.
Posted: Sat Nov 06, 2010 04:47
Having some weird problems with transparency. Essentially regardless whatever scheme or alpha setting of the window I am trying to show It keeps being transparent.
Relevant code:
Initializing all the windows settings. The windows are loaded from a .layout file. But there isn't anything too strange in it and nothing is transparent.
rendering the gui at the end of the scene.
Hiding and showing the window.
The first time I show the window
The second time
It does the exact same thing with the WindowsLook scheme. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
