transparent menus in fluxbox


i just installed the devel version of fluxbox (fluxbox -v Fluxbox 1.0rc2) and i cant get the menus to be transparent. i have menu alpha set to 160 in the menu and the style config, and render is set in fluxbox, and the background is set with fbsetbg. ive basically followed everything on fluxbox.org, but still nothing. any suggestions ?
