My overlays are broken, how do I fix it ?

Hey guys,
I was doing some modifications to a skin (namely, ColbySkin2), after a while it seems as if the "overlays" don't work anymore.
Well, they work, as in, if I click on an event that launches an overlay, the smaller overlay window opens up, but now instead of seeing through the background, I have a solid background. So the overlay looks like a regular screen with a very big black border around it.
I can't figure out what I might have changed or messed with.

Yeah, I was coming back on the forum to confess

On ColbySkin, he has a resource called "black box", aparently I changed the black level on it (though I don't remember doing it). I changed it back to its original clearer level. :oops:

Did you figure out the "Custom Search" issue?

Thanks for the help,

Everything else great.
I've done some (I think) useful mods to the skin, and its allowed me to learn how to skin as well. I'm not sure what the intentions were for the "Home Videos" section on the skin, but I've modified it completely to hold and playback my TV recordings. I also activated the little trailer window on the "movies" page to play random trailers from my database.
Maybe one day I'll be so bold and work on my own skin (thus the beauty of XLobby).
Keep up the good work,
masta
