No transparency here, either. I've tried the two "methods" from the other thread to enable it, but no luck.

i dont have the transparent surf bar either and i got the new software upgrade as well, still have the solid one here
It seems to go back to normal whenever you push the Voom button. If you do your surfing from the channel bar (click OK and then use the arrows/buttons) it will stay transparent.
I havent figured out how to get the transparent menu up. Its on when i turn on the system each day for awhile but then goes away.
V-for me it works when I hit the "guide" key and then hit the green button for "options and settings"-then select "system status" and once there press "watch"-this should work until you press "menu" or "guide", which both seem to clear the transp. surf bar for some reason-Try it and report.vurbano said:
Who thinks this crap up? If I have to sit upside down, fart twice, belch and do the splits without performing the nutcracker just to get the transparent surf bar to show up, then when I change channels it goes away? Give me a break. Voom programmers are starting to look as lame as the ones at Dish.

So true when it comes to Voom-So true-lol
I like the transparent surf bars and info screen. Would like to be able to make it the default. Personally would probably never set it back to black, but understand that some might prefer it that way, so it should be an option. Preferences may be highly dependent on the TV its being used with as well. Some may not be a easy to read when transparent. Having a remote control toggle would be a good idea, since there could be backgrounds that don't provide sufficient contrast with the text. In that condition, users would not want to have to navigate through a bunch of menus to change the setting.
Love the Transperacy Feature
Sean,
I think the recommendations you have are great. BTW, I noticed that when you use transperancy for the surf bar, the closed caption does the same. I have shown other fellow Voomers this feature and they love it. It is a pain to get it working now, especially when Parentla Lock is set. It would be great to have it as a feature of the software.

Amen brother. If I have to go through some secret handshake to get it then I consider it a NON feature right now. In my book its a glitch, I say trash it, it doesnt work.DarrellP said:
No one said it is a feature. From the beginning it was understood to be a mistake that was left by accident. Some of us are experimenting with it. If you find it offensive that it was left by mistake (and not a feature) just ignore it completely and it won't bite you.
Listen I love the new feature I mean mistake. I wish they would do a quick software update and give it the option of off and on. Any chance of that happening?Sean Mota said:
