Removing semi transparency in background compile window

[Roger Cigol 139]

RAD Studio 13 (with Sept patch).

Clang 64 build (using 64bit IDE) - set for "background compilation".

When I start the build the compiler information box pops up as per previous versions of RAD Studio. But no it is semi-transparent. Since this box is lying over my editor and project windows I have semi transparent text in the compiler status box over the top of the half visible text in the source code. The result : it is hard to read either ! I much prefer a normal solid box for the compiler status. Easy to read. It's easy to move the window if I do really need to see what is underneath.

QUESTION: Anyone know how to configure the IDE so that this pop up box is NOT semi-transparent?

Yes! So annoying; The change nobody asked for and I immediately turned off background compile.

My project is big and this "escape route" is less attractive to me. I guess your answer means that you did not find a way to disable this transparency "feature".....

I didn't bother looking. A full build of 2.5 million lines of code takes 30 seconds on my new system so I don't actually need the feature.

But I can see that you're compiling C++ code so I guess your compile time is slightly longer 🙂

OMG! When will self declared usability engineers finally learn, that transparency looks only good on screen (as in movies and TVs) not in everyday use. I'm still trying to figure out where the first transparent whiteboard (sic!) was shown. I believe it was in the classic CSI or perhaps the film "Minority Report". Ugh!

More likely Star Wars. I don't think early Star Trek had anything like it.
