Transparent Flyout FeatureManager Design Tree in SW2004
Transparent Flyout FeatureManager Design Tree in SW2004
(OP)
While it seemed like a step in the right direction it has it limits when a lot of geometry is behind it. I find it very hard to read the tree. Is there any way to go back to the old opaque style?

Only edit the registy if you are cofortable doing so. Deleting or changing the wrong thing could render your computer inoperable.

These registry tweaks are mostly harmless as long as you stay in teh "hkey_current_user" section. Anything deleted will get added back by Solidworks from "hkey_local_machine".
And as always, backup the registry key before you make changes to it.

Start->Run, then type regedit and enter.
Don't mess with this stuff if you don't know what you're doing or you could foul up your computer completely. Always back up your registry (export) even if you do know what you're doing before making any changes.

If you want to tweak the registry, go to the Start menu, select Run and type "regedit".
Like in all posts, be carefull with what you do. Any changes are aplied immediatly to the registry file (you don't have a save command, you don't have an undo).

I agree that the transparent tree is great on a plain light background, but how often does that happen in combat. SW really should have dealt with this issue before releasing 2004 - it is a definite defficiency - and so obvious.
