Hi - I'm trying to apply transparency and gradient effect (to the bottom) to a GUI at the same time. I've searched the forum and could found some topics about my issue - but non of them seems to combine both. Playing around with _WinAPI_SetLayeredWindowAttributes() and PNG images (bad for different screen resolutions) was good to imitate gradient effect - WinSetTrans() helped my to set transparency. How can both be combined? Here's what I started with (w/ transparency only): #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <GUIEdit.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> Local $hGUI = GUICreate("TEST", @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight - 100, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP) Local $hEdit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 100, 100, 100, 100, $ES_READONLY, $WS_EX_TRANSPARENT) _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($hEdit1, "Text1" & @CRLF) _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($hEdit1, "Text2" & @CRLF) _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($hEdit1, "Text3" & @CRLF) GUICtrlSetBkColor($hEdit1, 0x0F4F8F) GUICtrlSetColor($hEdit1, 0x4F8FCF) GUICtrlSetFont($hEdit1, 20.0, 400, 0, "Courier New", 2) GUISetBkColor(0x0F4F8F, $hGUI) WinSetTrans($hGUI, "", 200) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI) Local $aMsg While 1 $aMsg = GUIGetMsg(1) Switch $aMsg[1] Case $hGUI Switch $aMsg[0] Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop EndSwitch EndSwitch WEnd GUIDelete($hGUI) Is there a solution? -supersonic.
