Scan lines

I'm not sure how to use that.

Yeah, window chape object doesn't work with alpha channel, but if all you want is all the lines the same semi-transparency, you can use the Sphax Kernel Object. Just put it in the sub-app frame, and tell it to select a window from "Current". Then, tell it to modify the window to have a transparency state of 1, and then have it modify its transparency. (0 and 255 are both completely visible, but 1 is almost invisible, and it becomes more visible as you go higher.)

That doesn't seem to work?

What do you mean it doesn't work? It works perfectly fine for me.

To see it better, try lowering the number to, say, 50. Also, try running just the sub app frame to see the effect better.

Interesting, maybe it doesn't work on windows XP.

Huh? It works fine for me on my XP, which is what I primarily use. In the file you posted, run frame two from MMF2 with the transparency set to 50, screenshot it, and upload so we can see it.

I tried changing my XP themes but that didn't help.

I'd be interested to see what it looks like for you too :P

Maybe my computer is just bizarre.

edit: Tried it on my brothers XP computer and it doesn't work. I got the extension from fusion updater today, but maybe it's an old one or something?

thank you for having posted an example for others

Hmm, I guess my eyes are bad. I zoomed in close on my screen and I can't get the transparency working either! It must be being interfered with the window shape object. Lets hope Yves or somone sees this.
