When I enable/disable "Disable Glass Transparency" it changes color.


why? I want to disable the transparency and keep the first color :) any way to do so?
one more thing, I can see a line, the line is more lighter than the color of csm, that line devides the cms in two colomns.. but! when I zoom in... there's no any line!


I tried the color picker to detect if there's any color difference.. but there's no color defference wich means there's no line.. but I can see it in the CSM :) what is it? do you see it? some optical illusion?

When the menu is transparent, it is mixed with what's the background. So the final color is going to be different.
I don't see a line in the picture. must be something on your monitor. Maybe a ghosting image or something.

Yeah, looks like ghosting. I've seen it happening even on LCD monitors, particularly if they are connected with a VGA cable instead of DVI.

@KristopherRobin, if you use the WinAero Skin for Classic Shell (http://winaero.com/blog/introducing-win ... sic-shell/) and disable transparency in that skin options, and for the taskbar too from Classic Start Menu settings -> "Start Button" tab -> "Disable taskbar transparency", then the color of the opaque Start Menu will match the color the opaque Taskbar. Note that the WinAero skin is only for the Classic with two columns style.
