1LT Worm Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 I wish they would add transparency. And layers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shadix Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 There is a certain version of paint that has very rudimentary transparency support. I'm not sure what OS is comes with though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1LT Worm Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 I think it was on the bastard version of Windows. (coughMEcough) But then again, IE can't support transparency without some barbaric extra code, so yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shadix Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Last I remembered GIF transparency works fine in IE, it's just PNGs that IE phales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 IE7 has basic alpha transparency support. But it sucks. (btw firefox 3 alpha build now passes the Acid2 test ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't they jumping the gun a bit? I'm looking at the Mac version. Text is rendered differently. The address bar is gray. Oh, and the arrow keys don't work in this text box.

Epon Posted December 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 No, originally, LongHorn (before renamed to Vista) was supposed to have a new file system integrated into it, but MicroShiit decided to rush this stuff (or atleat their investors did)... so thus, we're still chillin with NTFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 That is why they call it an "Alpha Build". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodee Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 I've been using the Beta for about a month, it's nice but the nVidia drivers for it suck, horribly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidimanNull Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 This is Midiman going nuts over something simple: Some of the software isn't compatible with Longhorn/Vista. SUre, the GUI looks nice, but then again, there's always WindowsBlinds or Style XP. XD OH MY GOD, DO YOU OWN A GOD DAMN MAC? god damn graphics are NOT everything, get it through your head. Anyways, WinFS is gone, for a while I guess, its ment to be included somewhere after SP3 or Fuji. As for paint, use Paint.NET and stop ____ing complaining. Everything else can be solved by not saying GRAPHICS ARE ____ING EVERYTHING, and reading the feature list I posted earlier. EDIT: No offense to Worm, but there's something about Win-to-Mac users that makes them slack jawed idiots. EDIT2: Before anyone says I am, Im not saying azu runs a mac, im asking if he is. EDIT3: If any more people say that graphics make an OS, they should be immediately bonked with a large stick, and told to read the Feature List, if they havent already. EDIT4: IE7 Supports transparency, it still sucks ass with CSS. EDIT5: Some programs work in Vista, some dont, Vista gives you a reason why, if you cant solve it yourself, tell Microsoft, they cant fix it? Find a new program, easy peasy measy threesy! EDIT6: No, Vista is not a freaking Mac clone, just because it has similar features ( notice how no-one bitches when linux gets search, hilarious, but beside the point [/amatuernerd] ) doesnt Microsoft just went and copied certain features from an OS. If you look at it from a neutral POV, all OS's are going to get the feature anyways, It doesnt ____ing matter who got it first, it would be nice if the platform you run has it too. EDIT7: NO NO NO VISTA IS NOT A MAC CLONE, just because it has ALPHA TRANSPARENCY SUPPORT FOR SKINS AND THEMES doesnt mean its GUI is based off of Mac, which everyone seems to freaking beleive. EDIT8: Windowblinds is an invitation for people who think their smart to run ugly skins based off of luna that look like complete Horse crap. Style XP is an invitation for stupid people to learn that patching is ment to be accompanied with an ugly selector screen. But no-ones heard of UXTheme patching, thank god, hits like "Tempura" and "Luna Element" will go unskinned and all the stupid people will look awesome with their fugly LUNA GEL skin for WINDOWBLINDS 5. LOL I hope I dont bashed to hell for all this rant material. Vista is kewl. its got pretty colors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 I used the be the ____ with Paint...but when I saved an iumage the way I wanted, it'd loose quality, so I ended up saving as huge picture files until I downloaded Giffy, which also had a transparency tool. Those were the days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidimanNull Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Uh, No. Paint is actually a nice little pixel pusher for pixel artists. It's just everyone regards paint as a loser program compared to a 300$+ program that pushes out fakes more than dynex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeL Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Are.. are we serious here? Vista is terrible. You all do realize it's Windows Server 2003 with OSX copy GUI right? It has NO features. Nothing to make it different. Search? Wow OS X has only been doing live search for YEARS now.Don't spend money on this. QFTUh, No. Paint is actually a nice little pixel pusher for pixel artists.

Its just an operating system, I had rc1 for a while, but decided it was kinda pointless having dual boot xp and vista. RC1 had no open gl support so I just decided to stick with xp for now.

StarKrafter Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Plus, I simply hate anyone who stands up for a mac Arg, that makes me angry. Macs have their use, as long as you know their place. In fact, they are quite ideal for serious artists. But if you like to use your computer for playing games the majority of the time.. (like most people I know) you'll buy a PC. Research people, and I mean from people who know what they're talking about. Not what you hear from the websites that are trying to sell you something.
