[#657:BUG] idea657.exe

I have never been able to get transparency to work under Idea. What tool
windows exactly are supposed to be transparent?

Hi,

>

the native Installer in idea657.exe does not configure the system property
-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true in idea.lax.
Without disabling direct draw in java2d the transparent mode of floating
windows
does not operate on win2k systems.
Appending "lax.nl.java.option.additional"

ith -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true

solved the problem on my machine.

Have you tried these steps?

- Make sure you have "-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true" as a JVM argument
- Turn transparency options on in IDE Settings - Appearance
- Open a tool window (say the Structure one)
- Click the Float option in the upper right hand corner of the tool window (it looks like 2 overlapping squares)
- Now click back in the editor or on another tool window
- The floating Structure window should fade transparent according to the settings you selected.

Hope that helps!

Great, works like a charm, thanks.

I found that noddraw=true is no longer nec. in 1.4.1.
Has anyone else found this, or the opposite?

I took it out and still get transparency. Is transparency used anywhere
else in the app?
