    Windows Explorer file drag icon and transparency


    Hello,when I drag a file on the Desktop, the file icon is transparent but when I drag a file in "Windows Explorer" the icon is not transparent and a part of the application is hidden by the icon, can you change this behavior so that the icon is transparent like on Desktop ?Thanks

    :)

    what icons are you referring to?
    In the Windows Explorer list or desktop?

  3. Disable thumbnails that appear when you drag a file in File Explorer?

    There's the cut and paste RIGHT CLICK solution. This is how I typically move things about.

    But I'm not sure I understand you. In some circumstances my dragged items are transparent. In this example below, the generic icon isn't so transparent. But by hovering over Desktop icon, an entire area turns grey to indicate I've made a selection.

    So I can see what I've chosen without the PDF icon covering that actual destination folder... solving your problem?

  4. Windows Explorer file drag icon and transparency

    Transparent Tiles, Transparent File Explorer and more!!


    Hey everyone! Just thought I would show you some screenshots of a transparency effect anyone can achieve using an application called Glass2k. This program allows any application including Universal Windows Apps, as well as the Action Center, Smart menu including tiles and file explorer.

    Obviously some of you guys are not interested in any transparency effects but the possibilities to be creative are endless. In the screenshots some of the images use a blurred background, and the others aren't so your able to gauge different effects.

    Glass2k also allows you to change how high the transparency it set too, with each app or menu set to different transparency level if be.

    TUTROIAL:

    1. Download the application (GLASS2K) - Glass2k : Chime Softwares

    2. Run the application.

    3. The icon should show in the taskbar icons. Open it. Click settings.

    4. Enable Auto-Load Glass2k everytime windows starts.

    5. Enable Auto-Remember every window Transparency settings.

    6. Disable Transparency Popup: Right Click

    7. For the keyboard shortcut I use +Alt + Clrl.

    8. To change an applications transparency hold alt + ctrl and use the numpad to change the value of transparency.

    9. You will have to run Glass2k every time windows starts unfortunately.

    10. To add transparency to the Start menu tiles: Open the start menu and click the grouped tiles headerbox. Now click and hold ALT+CTRL and while holding use the numeral pad to change the transparency levels. Windows Explorer file drag icon and transparency :)
