Transparent Contact Dialog Boxes

There is a "window opacity" setting in your graphics options menu.
Unfortunately, I've found that the slider doesn't seem to stick, even after hitting apply. So, every so often I have to go back and take it back up.
I've bugged it, but it doesn't seem to be a priority.

Perfect! That worked! For some reason, mine was set to 1%. Wonder how that got changed. But thanks again.
You know, you're right. The window opacity keeps changing on me. I set it to 100%, click apply, close the window, then reopen options again and its at a totally different random number every time.
Actually, I think I figured it out. If you have any of the Dim Chat window options turned on, Window Opacity gets all wacked out. I turned mine all off and now my Opacity stays where I set it. Bug maybe?

I'd recommend filing a /bug report in game about this with ALL of the information including the solution you found.
I'd also suggest PM'ing Arbiter Kim, Arbiter Oates and Arbiter Curry about this with what you found to be the solution. They may not have been able to recreate it or find the link between the Dim Chat Windows settings and the Opacity changes. This would likely give them a good repeatable process so that they can find a solution.
Kudos for your troubleshooting on this.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Thanks for the Disable Dim All Windows tip. I'll see if it works. Yeah it's an annoying bug. :/

Is there a way to adjust the background of your contacts dialog boxes to something else that is not 100% transparent? I find it really hard to read sometimes. See this example.
White letters on a transparent dialog box, which just shows you whatever you are currently looking at behind the dialog box. I find myself, having to move the dialog around a bit, maybe look up, look down, left or right just to find some dark background to offset the white letters in the dialog.
Or is there some setting I can change to fix this?
