Hi,

I think that we just didn't understood it in the same way :)
I already have the pictures.

The top part is made of 3 items:
-The left part, where there is the TDE logo. This part has a fixed size.
-The middle part, which is where you see the horizontal stripe on the actual TDEUI. This part has an adaptive size, depending of the screen resolution.
-The left part, where you can see the rounded part of the ribbon. This part has a fixed size.

Here is the drawing order of the current TDEUI:
-The middle part is repeated horizontally across all of the screen width.
-The left part is drawn on top of the left part.
-The right part is drawn on top or the right part.

It causes no problems with the old TDEUI, because these pictures were not transparent at all. So, the left and right parts covers fully the middle part, which would be otherwise displayed all across the width of the window.
But, with the transparent pictures, the problem is that this horizontal ribbon is still seen all across the screen, which is ugly, as in the attachement...

What I'd want to do is to find a way to make the middle part be drawn only at the end of the left picture and stop at the beginning of the right picture. Is it possible?

Also, I tried to transform the Welcome to... bar in a box, but for an unknown the same transparency that works for the box doesn't work for the bar... Which is pretty much going to stay a bar... Except that it can be adjusted to have the same width as the box under it.
