Feature Request: Transparent Selector
rrati opened this issue · comments
When selecting a movie or TV show to watch the selector bar is solid and not transparent at all. This breaks up the look of the display and cuts into the image in the background. It's understandable why this is the case, but is it possible to add some transparency to that selector bar? I was thinking it could be semi-transparent, so the text is still readable but for any place w/o text the image can still be show, albeit a little dark.

Hi,
This is something I have messed around with a lot in the past never
could get it to look good in all situations in the end everything is a
compromise when building a theme that needs to be consistent and look
good with artwork both present and not.
If you would like to try yourself the place to adjust the transparancy
is in base.xml line numbers 498-538.
The alpha settings that are currently set to 255 ( no transparency ) can
be adjusted from 0 to 255 ( the lower the more transparent ).
You will need to restart the frontend after making changes to base.xml
for it to show up.
These three definitions (small,medium and large) are all the same now
(use to be different) and could be replaced by one just something I
haven't gotten around to yet.
When I do this I will take another look at the transparency again and
may or may not change it.
If you try and adjust it yourself and come up with something you like
let me know and I will give it a try.
Thanks for the feedback.

I've poked at some settings and have been using them for a while and it seems to look decent. I was wondering if it was possible to make the white selector border transparent? I wanted to toy with that if it is possible.

I added a semi transparent select bar to the Experimental branch if you want to try it out.
The semi transparent select bar has been merged into the fixes/0.27 branch.
