2008 Feature Manager Transparency Setting?

Rich Osterreicher Nov 9, 2007 6:12 PM

In 2007, etc..
In system options, colors.. there was the checkbox for "Match graphics Area and Feature Manager backgrounds"
I really liked that..
Where is that in 2008??
I can't seem to find it...

2008 Feature Manager Transparency Setting?

Rich,

I don't know what happened with that setting and it is one that I used.

Also, ...you may want to sit down,

................I cannot find the "skins" for the Property Manager!!!

Oh my God!

I better quit joking or it will be taken seriouly and be fixed in the very next SP.

  Hi Eddie,
  Sorry that your skins are gone... I didn't use them myself, but that was a nice feature for those that did use it...
  Chock that up for another enhancement...
  Maybe lots of people requested that skins be removed for 2008...
  And i bet that mob of people must have also requested to do away with the transparent feature manager...

    I find that the color option being removed is very agitating. I used to have it match my background as well. It madeit a lot less distracting and, well, pretty. Now I have thishorrifically boring and distracting Feature Manager hanging out onthe left side of my screen. Did they think that they neededto draw attention to the FM? Like we could forget that it wasthere.
    
    It's probably for our own good somehow...

        I agree. I wish all of you folks were around a couple of months ago when I was complaining about all of this new interface junk.

        Hopefully, it can be adressed in a service pack....
        Along with a few other hotly contested items....

        Nope. That's just the transparency setting for when the FM isin the Viewport window.

        I wonder why nobody from SW has chimed in on this?
        
        Be nice to hear from the almighties on why this was removed...
