Not sure if this will help, but an example of setting an input controls transparency while keeping the main gui solid..

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$main = GUICreate('Transparency', 200, 55, -1, -1, -1, $WS_EX_TOPMOST)
$Slider = GuiCtrlCreateSlider(5, 30, 190, 20,$TBS_NOTICKS + $TBS_BOTH)
GUICtrlSetLimit($Slider, 255, 1)
GUICtrlSetData($Slider, 255)
GUISetState()

$Child = GUICreate('Input', 188, 18, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TOPMOST, $main)
$Input = GUICtrlCreateInput('Use slider to set transparency', -1, -1, 190, 20)
GUISetState()

$old = GUICtrlRead($Slider)

While 1
    $wpm = WinGetPos($main)
    $x = $wpm[0] + 9
    $y = $wpm[1] + 35
    WinMove($Child, "", $x, $y)
    If GUICtrlRead($Slider) <> $old Then
        WinSetTrans($Child, "", GUICtrlRead($Slider))
        $old = GUICtrlRead($Slider)
    EndIf   
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
    EndSelect
WEnd
