WildByDesign Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago (edited) There are some great examples for adding Blur to the GUI throughout the forum. However, the types of blur that are covered in those examples are a bit outdated: ;ACCENT_STATE Global Const $ACCENT_DISABLED = 0 Global Const $ACCENT_ENABLE_GRADIENT = 1 Global Const $ACCENT_ENABLE_TRANSPARENTGRADIENT = 2 Global Const $ACCENT_ENABLE_BLURBEHIND = 3 Global Const $ACCENT_INVALID_STATE = 4 Since that time, those options have expanded more to the following: ACCENT_DISABLED = 0 ACCENT_ENABLE_GRADIENT = 1 ACCENT_ENABLE_TRANSPARENTGRADIENT = 2 ACCENT_ENABLE_BLURBEHIND = 3 ACCENT_ENABLE_ACRYLICBLURBEHIND = 4 ACCENT_ENABLE_HOSTBACKDROP = 5 ACCENT_INVALID_STATE = 6 I am particularly curious about ACCENT_ENABLE_HOSTBACKDROP but it does not come up in any searches on this forum. I will share an example GUI blur that is working (requires Windows 11): Spoiler expandcollapse popup#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WinAPIGdi.au3> $hGUI = GUICreate("Example", 400, 400) GUISetBkColor(0x000000) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) _WinAPI_DwmSetWindowAttribute__($hGUI, 20, 1) Local $hRgn = _WinAPI_CreateEllipticRgn(_WinAPI_CreateRectEx(0, 0, 0, 0)) _WinAPI_DwmEnableBlurBehindWindow($hGUI, 1, 0, $hRgn) If $hRgn Then _WinAPI_DeleteObject($hRgn) EndIf $tAccentPolicy = DllStructCreate("int AccentState; int AccentFlags; int GradientColor; int AnimationId") $tAttrData = DllStructCreate("dword Attribute; ptr DataBuffer; ulong Size") $tAccentPolicy.AccentState = 3 $tAttrData.Attribute = 19 ; WCA_ACCENT_POLICY $tAttrData.DataBuffer = DllStructGetPtr($tAccentPolicy) $tAttrData.Size = DllStructGetSize($tAccentPolicy) $aResult = DllCall("user32.dll", "bool", "SetWindowCompositionAttribute", "hwnd", $hGUI, "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($tAttrData)) _WinAPI_DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea($hGUI, _WinAPI_CreateMargins(-1, -1, -1, -1)) While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop EndSwitch WEnd Func _WinAPI_DwmSetWindowAttribute__($hwnd, $attribute = 34, $value = 0x00FF00, $valLen = 4) Local $aCall = DllCall('dwmapi.dll', 'long', 'DwmSetWindowAttribute', 'hwnd', $hWnd, 'dword', $attribute, 'dword*', $value, 'dword', $valLen) If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, 0) If $aCall[0] Then Return SetError(10, $aCall[0], 0) Return 1 EndFunc ;==>_WinAPI_DwmSetWindowAttribute__ The problem that I have is that I am still very much a beginner here. I don't understand DllStruct at all. Thank you for your time and suggestions. I appreciate it very much. Edited 10 hours ago by WildByDesign
WildByDesign Posted 9 hours ago Author Posted 9 hours ago Another thing that I am interested in is having the blur blended with a color. None of the examples for that in the forum have worked or were complete.
