Transparent gui and label box?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys

Ive been trying to find a way to make my GUI's more attractive. I used to use a program called QMB a few years ago where you could set a picture (in my case it will be the pic of the gui created in photoshop and saved as a jpg) and it would display on its own with no borders. You could then highlight areas and set a command for when they were clicked. I would like ot be able to display a picture on its own. then have empty label boxes (or something that would work) to be set over areas i would like but so that you cannot see them just the main gui pic underneath and then set labelclick to perform the function i want.

Anyone got any ideas on the transparent label pls?

thanks

engjcowi,

You do nto need labels or buttons - I use Malkey's excellent UDF to register clicks in user-defined shapes to do this - you can find it here. :unsure:

And in case it might come in handy, I do this to get the image to display without a GUI. :>

Try this:

Just replace line 9 with a transparent PNG of your choice.
