Set the transparency of a window just by hitting a key!

[Pakku]

Hi all,

I was a bit bored so i made this, it is an app which allows you to make a window (the one who is activated) transparent on a level of you choice.

just run this script, activate a window an hit ctrl + shift + (one of the number 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 (1 = almost invisible and 0 = solid))

For $i = 0 To 9
    HotKeySet("+^" & $i,"_trans")
Next

While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func _trans()
    If StringTrimLeft(@HotKeyPressed, 2) = "0" Then
        $x = 9
    Else
        $x = StringTrimLeft(@HotKeyPressed, 2) - 1
    EndIf
    WinSetTrans("", "", 255 / 9 * $x)
EndFunc

EDIT

updated the code, way shorter thanks to Helge

Slightly shortened

For $i = 0 To 9
    HotKeySet("+^" & $i,"_trans")
Next

While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func _trans()
    WinSetTrans("", "", 255 / 10 * StringTrimLeft(@HotKeyPressed, 2))
EndFunc

@gafrost

i havn't seen that one, but mine is (also thanks to Helge) a bit shorter

EDIT

@Helge

if ctrl + shift + 0 is pressed than the window is invisible so i edited yours, see 1st post

Nice. I wonder if its gonna be really useful.

Makes the comp a bit slower though.

You must be really bored..

How about creating a winhider like that?

Allows you to hide up to 9 windows.. any ideas?

[Pakku]

I can have a look at that...

That is not a Script it is a noobie script only 4 liner,

One Forum Script better more than 10 lines I supousse or make something, different that in the Help Samples.

As you mean bored, another script in the same direction:

when the mouse is:

-over one window:

-and almost over you get a less transparent window

as TransparencyOnOver($howmuch transparent, $howmuchsolid,$Whatwindow,$seconsIntoSolid,$secondsintoTrans)

you coud do even that when it stays some seconds it slowly make the wanted transparency/solid state.

I do not know if somebody already made it.
