Easiest way is to make a BMP with the same background color as your GUI. But, you can use a transparent region instead of a button. Search for transparent region in v3 Scripts and Scraps.

Add $WS_LAYERED to your GUI properties. The color of the top-left pixel of the GUI will be made transparent throughout the GUI, including buttons, text, etc.

I recommend making if FF00FF, or pure red or something like that.

Thanks for the answer (also peter1234) !

Please, can you give us a example, because I can't find propertie $WS_LAYERED, I use $WS_EX_LAYERED

but the window refuse to open when I use it.

Yes, that's one example. Another is here:

$gamegui = GUICreate("QBC", 1280, 1024, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP + $WS_SYSMENU + $WS_MINIMIZEBOX, $WS_EX_LAYERED)

A good tip to all: "$WS_POPUP + $WS_SYSMENU + $WS_MINIMIZEBOX" will remove a windows title and sidebars.

Should use the BitOr() rather than the '+'

$gamegui = GUICreate("QBC", 1280, 1024, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_POPUP, $WS_SYSMENU, $WS_MINIMIZEBOX), $WS_EX_LAYERED)

I know the Help file had/has an example using the '+'
