Window opacity isn't being affected?

I have a button click method over here that should set a window to opaque:

        private void Button_Click_2(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            if (overlay.thisOverlay != null)
            {
                overlay.thisOverlay.makeOpaque();
            }    
        }

        private void Button_Click_2(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            if (overlay.thisOverlay != null)
            {
                overlay.thisOverlay.makeOpaque();
            }    
        }

The method works too. The trace here works:

// This function is in the "overlay" class
        public void makeOpaque()
        {
            this.Opacity = 1;
            Trace.WriteLine("Works");
        }

// This function is in the "overlay" class
        public void makeOpaque()
        {
            this.Opacity = 1;
            Trace.WriteLine("Works");
        }

The output shows the message but the opacity of the window doesn't change. What am I doing wrong?

Do you want to fade it out? Opacity of 1 means fully visible (to make it fade the value needs to go to 0)

I want it to fade but right now, I just need it to be fully opaque. Ill figure out the fade myself

Johnny•3y ago

Set this.Opacity = 1; to this.Opacity = 0;

Wouldn't that just make the window entirely transparent/ ? Same thing Opacity wont change :/

Johnny•3y ago

Well, I would probably need some more code

What would you like to see?

Johnny•3y ago

Or wait, try 0.5

ExilonOP•3y ago

Still the same :( What's wierder is that changing other properties work like window state its just opacity
