Aqua-Soft ForumsI wonder if it is hardwired or there is a way to make the background transparent? I cannot find anything about it in properties. Calendar is especially too bright for me.
Is there any way to make a background of Ave desklets transparent?
right click|desklet properties| Opacity on first tab.
If you mean just the background not the whole desklet then you need to edit the xml file.

yes, I mean only a background. any reference how to edit xml file to get a transparent breakdown?
Okay. I'm using the Calendar Opus AveScripter Desklet as an example.
Back up the desklet & make sure it's not loaded before doing this:
Find this line in the xml file.
<layer name="FrontBG" x="0" y="40" width="297" height="159" src="../../unavailable.html" fontalign="LT"/>
Add this to it alpha="150" and adjust from 0 to 255.
Finished Code should look like this:
<layer name="FrontBG" x="0" y="40" width="297" height="159" src="../../unavailable.html" [B]alpha="150" [/B]fontalign="LT"/>
Edit: For more information look in the substantial SDK desklet that PCM has included. Everything is pretty much covered there.

oh, thank you very much! it worked perfectly!
Tried to do the same trick with weather widgets and no luck. It looks it programmed aslightly different. If I make transparent the front background, all figures disappear and the picture (sun, rain etc) is only left.
It is programmed different. If you set the first layer to full transparency then logically none of the sublayers will be visible. Try a low number but, not 0.
You will most likely need to adjust alpha for each background layer. Look at the images in the folder then match to the respective line.
