Woah, UEZ, Tekk, you guys are awesome! Thank you a lot! I will make sure to post my program here to you guys once it's done

Thanks Tekk, this looks promising. I looked up the example and found this, see attached screenshot. http://abload.de/image.php?img=blurxvzux.png Unfortunately, it blurs the text under it; there is a WinAPI_DwmSetColorizationParameters ( $tDWMCP ) function taking a $tDWMCP $tagDWM_COLORIZATION_PARAMETERS containing the colorization parameters to be set. which is "dword Color;dword AfterGlow;uint ColorBalance;uint AfterGlowBalance;uint BlurBalance;uint GlassReflectionIntensity; uint OpaqueBlend;" do I have to create this using DllStructSetData($a, "var1", -1) and then pass it?

Hello everyone, I was wondering if you can point me into the right direction for my problem: I want a color-translucent GUI - I know how to cut holes into my GUI / extract shapes from it using _WinAPI_*RGN und _WinAPI_DeleteObject, but this is not exactly what I need. I want the cut out to be translucent in a color, e.g. blue. An example of this effect is given by the image at http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fPTdkUUQp_Q/ULtd5P7y62I/AAAAAAAAAuA/kXSEVCuIKK0/s1600/TranslucentPanel4.png Where do I have to look? All the best, Chris PS: WinSetTrans ( "title", "text", transparency ) does not quite the trick - I don't want the full window to be translucent, but just a part. Any ideas how I can achieve that with WinSetTrans are also highly welcome!
