Hi my friend from Italia,
Smart! You figured out a way to mess with the hardware button transparency to give the optical illusion the software menu is floating over it, instead of under it, as would happen with no opacity!
Yes, I also used a hardware shadow effect to make my popup look 3-D., just like you used one to highlight menu choices.
Well this would only work in my application if I wasn't also using .png images. Well, maybe another set could be saved with opacity, I'm not sure. As far as my graphics buttons go, yes, they could be switched out to opaque ones when the popup comes up on the screen. It's not a bad effect, as it draws attention away from the main screen when the popup is open.
Amazing Steve didn't think of this.
+2 for thinking under the box!
