Yakuake skin transparency not working properly

Hi.

I have a problem with yakuake skins. The tabs' part isn't transparent (the rest - console background and lower part of skin - are).
I used to use Kubuntu and this wasn't an issue there.
Any ideas?

Check bellow how the menu entries are hidden behind the upper part of the skin while they are visible behind the lower part:

PS. I have the latest KDE, Qt and Nvidia binary drivers.

Re: Yakuake skin transparency not working properly

Which theme are you using? I'm running Yakuake with default theme (by Francois Chazal) on latest KDE from [extra] with fglrx (ATI's privative Catalyst module provided by ViOLO) and KWin enable and everything's working fine.
Try this: quit Yakuake, disable then reenable KWin's compositing by pressing twice Alt+Shift+F12 and then launch Yakuake again.

Re: Yakuake skin transparency not working properly

Sorry for getting back so late.
No skin works and the test mentioned above didn't work either.
I also tried resetting the yakuake config (removed ~/.kde4/share/config/yakuakerc and ~/.kde4/share/apps/yakuake) but the problem persisted even with the default configuration.

Anyone else with an nvidia card + binary drivers to say whether it works for them?
