Hey,
I have created a menu which is shown when my program first loads.
It is shown inside a window without the titlebar so therefore there is no border around it.
it is a circular menu (odd, i know) which is part of a square image. the image is about 150x150 (for arguments sake) and i have set the transparency flag on my image so that all black is transparent...

Now, to the problem.. because it is a circular menu, and it is traped inside a black box (the image/window) which looks really untidy, how can i make the default background of the window (the black box) to transparent?
So that all is seen is the circular menu without the black areas...

take this pic for example...

I am running DBC 1.13 enhanced.

Thanks in advance...

Wierd-There was a skinning DLL released on these forums the other week! It's for DBpro so it probably wont work in DB Classic, but you could ask SilentS- the bloke who wrote it. He did release a pre patch 5 version for pro though on the RGT forums so you could try that.
