Does anyone have any kind of solution to offer? I can't figure this out.

I've tried that, but it doesn't work for the slider.

Does anyone know a solution to this?

Not only that, but it did make the entire control transparent, I'm wanting just the background.

I've been searching the forums now for about 3 hours straight to no avail. If anyone knows a quick way to make buttons and sliders transparent, please inform me. I tried a UDF that made them transparent, but moved them up a lot.

Well, thanks for trying. I can't figure anything about the locked file.. it's NOT read-only.. I just tried to take ownership of the file, and the locked icon went away. How would I do that for a user's computer? It was in a file conversion of mine, how do I make the GUIctrls have transparent backgrounds? Edit: I got my label to have a transparent background (was in the help file), but how do I make a slider and a button be transparent? I want the button to still look like a button, just showing the image behind it.

I could try that, but I moved the pic from the tempdir to the programsdirectory. And shouldn't it work fine, I know the file is where I am calling it from. But might the locked file form prevent it from being used?

I would have edited my post, but it won't let me edit it again. I fixed the FileInstall part, I had messed up the first If statement. But now, I get this in the folder (displayed from Windows). This is the GUI that the picture is supposed to be the background of: And this is the GUI source code I have currently: $GUI = GUICreate("Win7Vista Radio", 300, 40, (@DesktopWidth - 315) / 2, (@DesktopHeight - 100) / 2, -1) $BGPic = GUICtrlCreatePic(@ProgramFilesDir & "\W7VRadio\RadioBG.bmp",0,0) $SongName = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Artist" & @CRLF & "Name", 60, 7, 150, 26) $Volume = GUICtrlCreateSlider(200, 10, 100, 20) GUICtrlSetData($Volume, 100) $Play = GUICtrlCreateButton("Play", 10, 10, 40, 20) $VolLevel = 100 GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "Quit") GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Play, "Play")

If FileExists(@ProgramFilesDir & "\W7VRadio\") Then If NOT FileExists(@ProgramFilesDir & "\W7VRadio\RadioBG.png") Then FileInstall("C:\Users\Calon\Pictures\vdjneg.png", @TempDir & "\RadioBG.bmp") FileMove(@TempDir & "\RadioBG.bmp", @ProgramFilesDir & "\W7VRadio\RadioBG.bmp") FileDelete(@TempDir & "\RadioBG.bmp") Else DirCreate(@ProgramFilesDir & "\W7VRadio\") FileInstall("C:\Users\Calon\Pictures\vdjneg.png", @TempDir & "\RadioBG.bmp") FileMove(@TempDir & "\RadioBG.bmp", @ProgramFilesDir & "\W7VRadio\RadioBG.bmp") FileDelete(@TempDir & "\RadioBG.bmp") EndIf EndIf Could I do this? the above source doesn't work to create the DIR or to move anything to it. I created the dir manually, and it moved the file to it. Now I will try deleting it and seeing what happens.

If FileExists(@ProgramFilesDir & "\W7VRadio\") Then If NOT FileExists(@ProgramFilesDir & "\W7VRadio\RadioBG.png") Then FileInstall("C:\Users\Calon\Pictures\vdjneg.png", @TempDir & "\RadioBG.png") FileMove(@TempDir & "\RadioBG.png", @ProgramFilesDir & "\W7VRadio\RadioBG.png") FileDelete(@TempDir & "\RadioBG.png") Else DirCreate(@ProgramFilesDir & "\W7VRadio\") FileInstall("C:\Users\Calon\Pictures\vdjneg.png", @TempDir & "\RadioBG.png") FileMove(@TempDir & "\RadioBG.png", @ProgramFilesDir & "\W7VRadio\RadioBG.png") FileDelete(@TempDir & "\RadioBG.png") EndIf EndIf My main question, is how can something basically the same as above be accomplished? This does not work and I don't know how to make it work. I am figuring that FileInstall cannot be within an IF or something, but I don't know. Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) $GUI = GUICreate("Win7Vista Radio", 300, 40, (@DesktopWidth - 315) / 2, (@DesktopHeight - 100) / 2, -1, BitOR($WS_POPUP, $WS_VISIBLE)) $BGPic = GUICtrlCreatePic(@ProgramFilesDir & "\W7VRadio\RadioBG.png",0,0) $SongName = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Artist" & @CRLF & "Name", 60, 7, 150, 26) $Volume = GUICtrlCreateSlider(200, 10, 100, 20) GUICtrlSetData($Volume, 100) $Play = GUICtrlCreateButton("Play", 10, 10, 40, 20) $VolLevel = 100 GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "Quit") GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Play, "Play") Is this the correct way to call up the image used earlier to be used as a background?
