Transparent ico Background possible?...

[ZetupEXE]

Hi there,

here is what i tried to achieve:

I have a gui, with a background pic. The background pic is disabled after it was created so that i could place other elements over it.

Example:

$welcomeTxtGui  =   GUICreate ("WelcomeText", @DesktopWidth-32, 32, 16, @DesktopHeight/2-16, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TOPMOST)
            GUISetBkColor (0x000000)
$welcomeGuiPos  =   WinGetPos ($welcomeTxtGui)
            _ScreenCapture_SetBMPFormat(4)
            _ScreenCapture_Capture($tempBackPic, $welcomeGuiPos[0], $welcomeGuiPos[1], @DesktopWidth-17,  @DesktopHeight/2+15)
$guiBackPic =   GUICtrlCreatePic ($tempBackPic, 0, 0, $welcomeGuiPos[2], $welcomeGuiPos[3])
            GUICtrlSetState ($guiBackPic, $GUI_DISABLE)
$guiTxtLabel    =   GUICtrlCreateLabel ("Bitte Warten...", 1, 1, $welcomeGuiPos[2]-4, $welcomeGuiPos[3]-4, $SS_NOTIFY + $SS_CENTER)
            GUICtrlSetFont (-1, 18, -1, -1, $font)
                GUICtrlSetColor (-1, 0xFFFFFF)
            GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)
            GUICtrlCreateIcon (@SystemDir & "\shell32.dll", 24, 0, 0)

GUISetState (@SW_SHOW)

While 1
 Sleep (250)
WEnd

My Problem is, that i want to have an icon (maybe animated) without that black background.

All i've read so far was to convert an icon into bitmap and then work with some functions from icon.au3 or winapiex. but this won't work for animated icons or?

how could i achieve this? i also played a little bit with the _API_SetLayeredWindowAttributes function (found in this forum. thx)

thx.
