it is considered as an example script for auto it , i hope any one find it useful

Very nice. I'm going to add this to my startup folder since it looks surprisingly good

Good job! My cmd backround was white and I wondered why I wasn't able to see the effect

Looks really nice. I don't know how good Vista is about unhooking windows that have been destroyed. I added an autoexit and an icon to it and put it in my startup folder. Very cool.

Func OnAutoItExit()
    If $hGui Then
        ShellHookWindow($hGui, 0)
    EndIf
EndFunc  ;==>OnAutoItExit

I just tried it on some other windows and looks like shit but for command prompt looks really interesting. Nice.

That ClearMemory() will not work on win7. Microsoft says that they changed the name and dll from which called function is exported. Maybe like this would be better to do it in AutoIt:

AutoIt        expandcollapse  popup

Func ClearMemory()
    
    Local $hProcess = -1
    
    Local $aCall = DllCall("kernel32.dll", "hwnd", "GetCurrentProcess")
    If Not @error Then
        $hProcess = $aCall[0]
    EndIf
    
    $aCall = DllCall("psapi.dll", 'int', 'EmptyWorkingSet', 'hwnd', $hProcess)
    If @error Then
        $aCall = DllCall("kernel32.dll", 'int', 'K32EmptyWorkingSet', 'hwnd', $hProcess)
        If @error Then
            Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
        EndIf
    EndIf

    If $aCall[0] Then
        Return SetError(0, 0, 1)
    EndIf

    Return SetError(0, 0, 0) ; redundant line

EndFunc

a definate keeper nice job!

EmptyWorkingSet still exists in psapi.dll in Windows 7. Use a DLL export viewer to see it. I know some functions moved around in Win7, but I think most of the original DLLs/functions are there and redirect to the new locations.

not useful, but very nice
Unfortunately I don't have any use for it, as I use the CMD barely.

that's because vista replace the black color with the blur

i know , but there are some people who use cmd and love this

I use a dialog with combo boxes in a couple of my apps to let the user
change the hotkey. After hours messing around with the blur enable
and changing the colors and text colors on button if OS >=Vista I just
about had it working. Unfortunately ComboBoxes don't let you set the
color. After a combo box selection is made you can't read it!! It's a
shame because it looks really cool.

as soon as you apply glass, the controls on it are like disabled. You can get around this by making a child window with disabled labels that are underlying the controls that shall be usable.

[torels]

this won't work in any way under XP right ?

Exactly.

Wouldn't I have to do user drawn combo box? afaik in AutoIt you can't set the color of combo boxes. The buttons looked washed out too but by changing the colors I could at least make them usable.

I'm interested... is new psapi.dll just calling K32EmptyWorkingSet from kernel32 or is there a real function left? Could you check that (see imports maybe)? I don't have Windows 7.

One more thing. If you write some code (e.g. c++) with EmptyWorkingSet and follow instructions given by Microsoft on that link that komalo is "yep"-ing, what funtion gets called?

edit:
@komalo, hope you don't mind me being a bit off-topic now. it's just interesting to see the differences with systems.

I used VistaGlass.au3. Looks almost as cool.
