    Hi.

    As soon as the UI size is changed for something other than the current screen resolution and/or [0,0] offset, it breaks the TV on background functionnality. Actually the video is correctly rendered but the problem is the UI stays opaque so the video underneath can't be seen.

    I'm using a [4,16] offset for the UI on my CRT TV which has a slight overscan, and I can actually see the top line of the video playing above the opaque UI when I activate TV on background. Same when viewing Picture Properties, I see a part of the displayed picture above the Properties page which stays opaque (with the Auto-background plug-in this page is transparent and you can still see the picture underneath).

    Additionally, but this is not really annoying, when you use a UI size less than the screen resolution it shows solid black around the UI. It would be nicer if the background of the UI would still fill the screen and only the UI elements be kept within the smaller custom canvas.

    I've tried disabling all plug-ins and switching back to BlueTwo to test, but the bug still happenned in this configuration.

    I presume logfiles wouln't be of any help as this seems to be an UI code problem.

    Regards.
