Guild Wars 2

I have noticed recently that the transparency of the UI windows, such as the guild window and the currency window in particular have really pronounced transparency, to the point that on the right hand side of the currency, numbers and icons are sitting on a completely transparent background.

Is there any way to change this? I see nothing in the options, and it never used to be like this.

Get out of your wallet and click the gear symbol.

I brought this up in the beta, they’re overuse of the alpha channels is excessive but not enough people complained to get the design changed and so we’re stuck with it forever. At least in gw1 they changed up the interface design once in a while.

I love how they put your wallet at the very bottom corner with the blip of info about the currencies of the zone, but it should have been put at the top in the huge unused space above the search box (between the xx/100 and the settings cog) or along the side where the rest of the icons are…

And why does the scroll bar show up if all the stuff fits on the screen? Does no one there know how to do UI design?

I am not exactly sure what you are trying to get me to do. The options in the inventory has nothing to do with the UI transparency, and as far as I can tell the Options on the main menu has nothing for UI transparency either.

I thought I remembered there being transparency options there. Maybe I’m thinking about the Chat Gear. :/
