Skin defect since about 3 updates ago

[Phuntso]

Currently on 1.99.50.24496 (x86).  I'm using the Drone v1.1 skin. See the attached image. The skin has lost ability to show playlist items with transparent background and the ability to highlight the currently selected item as it still could before some few updates ago. Now it just shows items in a black box. I also noticed that the button tooltips render incorrectly: half is correct, second half is default system tooltip without the skin color theme.

This is the never ending trouble with trying to get the gen_ff plug-in running outside of a program it was never intended for & there's things that just aren't right with my compatibility layer which aren't going to be resolved without attempting to make my own plug-in (which'll instead bring a whole different range of problems as any new code base would have).

I've tried with the v1.0 & v1.1 copy of the skin that I could find & I've not been able to replicate the playlist editor display issue exactly as shown when using them as part of an install that hasn't previously seen these skins.

The tooltip window I can see where it's not painting the whole area when the 'alternate tooltips' skin specific option is enabled. Without looking into it further that's most likely something wrong with the region implementation or something else vs what the skin is trying to do which just doesn't work well with my compatibility layer. 5.666 doesn't seem to show an issue but then it's tooltips also don't appear to scale with the skin so it might be something else going on which until I can bring myself to throw an unknown amount of time at this there's nothing I can suggest other than turning off that skin specific option so the basic tooltip style is used.

One odd thing I am however noticing from this skin is the tooltip showing appears to trigger the whole window frame on some of the windows to randomly go blank but the inner contents aren't affected (unlike your reported playlist editor window in the screenshot). That makes me think it's more likely something to do with the region painting which I've still got some other skins where the handling isn't right & I've got to assume this is the case again not that I've touched the code in a while to avoid causing regressions.

I read your part about applying skin to a fresh build and you couldn't reproduce it, so I thought, what if a skin setting is not read correctly and needs to be written in a new way by the application. I toggled random skin Config options and relaunched WACUP - the playlist shows correctly again. Easy fix, haha.

And your last text block about the whole window frame going blank, yes, that's an issue too I've observed for a long time, just never bothered to report.

There's one more issue that appeared with a recent update, but I ain't reporting it yet, unless I see it happen one more time.
