Gray background instead of transparency?

Hi Everyone,

Just upgraded to version 7 for the first time, and I seem to be having an issue. I have the "Video Menu Options" set to "Background", but instead of the menus being slightly transparent on top of the video, the background is solid gray. The menus are still visible (and usable), but with a big block of gray behind them when the video should be. The OSD when playing a video IS transparent though, as it should be.

I"m using the HD100 as my playback device. Have I missed a setting somewhere?

Thanks.

-Peter

My extenders behave the same way. It would be great if all the menu backgrounds were transparent.

Yep, same here, running 7.0.9 through a hd100.

would love to get rid of the gray block - only comes up when a video is playing in the background.

I just finished setting up my new server, and went for a completely fresh install of Sage (only keeping my wiz.bin). The gray background is gone now. I'm guessing there is some old lingering setting in the sage.properties causing this.

I get the same on my HD100.

If there's no video playing, the background is transparent, but if a video is playing, the very top and bottom of the screen show the video background fine, but its grey behind the guide and show details.
