sandman Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hi, I am making a GUI for an update script that I want to look pretty professional. The transparency for the window is currently set to 175, but this is what I would like it to have: It would be really cool if I could have a transparency of 175 at the top of the window, and have a fading effect so that at the bottom of the window it is completely transparent. Basically, I need a 'gradient' from half-opacity at the top to full-transparency at the bottom. Is this even possible? If so, how? If anyone even knows of a color gradient UDF, I could probably modify it to be a gradient of transparency. So post something like that if you have it, please. Thanks, SANDMAN!

BigDod Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Here is a topic about gradients. Search for gradient and you will find more. Time you enjoyed wasting is not wasted time ......T.S.

sandman Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 Yeah, I already looked at that, downloaded the UDFs and stuff.. but I don't think I can change it to do transparency. Not with my noobish abilities, at least. . Maybe you or Valuater could be able to transform it though.. ?

Richard Robertson Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 If you plan to implement variant shades of transparency, your best bet would be to use GDI+ on your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 Okay.. I got the GDI+ DLL, but how do I find out what it can do and how? I searched a bit on this topic and found nothing, as I don't know what to search for :/ [center]"Yes, [our app] runs on Windows as well as Linux, but if you had a Picasso painting, would you put it in the bathroom?" -BitchX.com (IRC client)"I would change the world, but they won't give me the source code." -Unknownsite . blog . portfolio . claimidcode.is.poetry();[/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
