EDIT (9 JUNI/JUNE 2008): DONT USE THIS!! I AM SERIOUS IT WILL MAKE YOUR WIFE EXPLODE AND YOUR COMPUTER WILL CHEAT ON YOU WITH ANOTHER WOMAN!!

Once upon a time... (:P) i saw Lod3n's script that used .png files to get extremely nice guis with shadows and transparency, so i immediately started playing with them. But the flickering was really annoying :)

But now i think i found a good way to get rid of it!! :) (except you must press on the first gui to be able to move it :))

Unless yours computer are too diferent from mine the script should take 5-25% of your processor without flickering!!

This is the first script i publish here so i hope you like it!!

(Put this .Png in the same directory as the script)

Sry for not posting sooner but i kinda lost track of time....

That's pretty cool, I might try making some fancy GUI's.... This does flicker if you try dragging the central box part on top of the picture :P

Well since this is just a byproduct of something else i am doing i didn't really test everything, but i see what you mean, also i have noted strange things happening on Win Vista. Since i am working on 3 projects at the same time it is going a bit slowly but i should have it fixed before school starts (in two weeks).

I never had any flickering problems with the original?

Try putting my code for the memory in Lod3n's script and you should see extreme flickering at this speed.

WOW 2 replies!! :) well atleast better than nothing! :)

kind of newbie ques but how would i put somthing like that in a simple gui like this?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("My GUI Button") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

Opt("GUICoordMode",2)

$Button_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Run Notepad", 10, 30, 100)

$Button_2 = GUICtrlCreateButton ( "Button Test", 0, -1)

GUISetState () ; will display an dialog box with 2 button

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed

While 1

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

ExitLoop

Case $msg = $Button_1

Run('Notepad.exe') ; Will Run/Open Notepad

Case $msg = $Button_2

MsgBox(0, 'Testing', 'Button 2 was pressed') ; Will demonstrate Button 2 being pressed

EndSelect

Wend

Hi, Piano_Man!

Change your line 15,

from

$hImageExperiment2 = _GDIP_Image($pngSrc)

to

$hImageExperiment2 = _GDIP_ImageLoadFromFile($pngSrc)
That depends on what version of AutoItLib your using. I think, correct me if I'm wrong, that GaFrost when through and changed the names to a lot of the function and some of the function, and he changed _GDIP_ImageLoadFromFile to _GDIP_Image... When I last updated AutoItLib it came with all these name changes, which successfully gave some of my lots of errors :)

EDIT: I think this is where he says he did the changes...
