PNG as GUI, drop shadows, curved edges, you name it

DjATUit,

AdlibEnable() and AdlibDisable() are now deprecated. Jsut replace them with AdlibRegister() and AdlibUnregister().

The change happened with v3.3.2.0 released on 18th December, 2009.

Thanks M23 (Again )

It turns out I didn't even need to know about that - for this, but it'll probably come in handy in the future!

Though, I've got it working now, does anyone know how to make the font a bit more readable - with the $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT it makes the text blocky and near impossible to read?!

[meisandy]

It's alright now - as always I didn't experiment enough, so I didn't find out that it's only blocky when its not on a picture!

It works. But I have a question

It works only when I use "grey.gif", I can't replace the grey.gif file by any other image file to make the same result! Could you explain me why? And how can I make that .gif file?

See Progandy's post #137 above

You won't need the grey.gif. Just set the Background color of the child GUI to the color you want to see transparent. Then use

_WinAPISetLayeredWindowAttributes to set this color transparent

You see, no GIF is needed.

Do you mean this? I've tried and no result

$mainForm = GUICreate("Multiple Tasks Launcher", $width, $height, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_LAYERED);
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x000000);
_WinAPI_SetLayeredWindowAttributes($mainForm, 0x010101);
GUISetState();
$controlGUI = GUICreate("ControlGUI", $width, $height, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP, BitOR($WS_EX_LAYERED, $WS_EX_MDICHILD), $mainForm);

;And control gui goes below:

is likely a more current version of what you are looking for
