Skin doesn't support transparent colour

[crispyozau]

Hi,

I have  a drop down menu on my application (Richfaces 3.3.3) and my designer designed me a nice looking panel to put it on, however since I can't set the panel my menu sits on to a transparent colour, my nicely designed panel will not be seen.

If I put "transparent" as the colour for my background on this panel, RF throws an exception because it expects a numeric value. Is there any way to get around this?

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Parameter "color" for convert from HTML to java can not be decoded: [transparent], reason: For input string: "transparent"

Thanks for any advice

Hi Chris,

Dynamic images are not supporting "transparent" values, you should just remove them using CSS rich-* classes.

Hi Nick,

Thank you for your reply. But i don't understand what you mean, I left the background colour out of my skin but then it will default to some other colour. Do you mean I have to find the CSS entry for <rich:toolBar> and I can set that as transparent?

Thanks

Chris

rich-toolbar-..{

background-color:transparent;

background-image:none;

}

or I'm missing something?
