I have NOOO clue what happened. I searched the help files and the net for the awnser...cant find it. The whole Menue all of the elements in the UI are now transparent. I was playin with hotkeys, and believe i hit "apple shift -" Maya is now verry transparent. the script editor did not show the command. and substituting the - for a + does not work. I cant use Maya like this. Does anyone know a command I can use...?? WindowOpacity 100 ?? etc.. thanks in advance, james:headbang:
