Well, this is a theme-specific thing. I'm not opposed to increasing the transparency of the dialog backgrounds, but you shouldn't need to edit the images themselves and recompile the XBT. You just need to adjust the first hex value in the theme file. For this, it's DialogBackgroundColor. Bear in mind that this affects a lot of other dialogs though:
- Busy
- Shutdown menu
- Context menus
- Keyboard/Numpad
- OK/YesNo dialogs
- video OSD dialogs (of course)
The question is, should we find a compromise (like b0) to make it look OK for all of these, or make the Video OSD dialogs use a separate background color than the rest (OSDSettingsBackgroundColor, or something like that)?
