Transparency of both window and GIF

[RobertKipling]

I have seen transparent GIFs work transparently in programs, and I have seen the innovative GUI_Hole (GuiCreateInvRect) program at work. But is there a way to combine them, to get images onto the screen as if they were images and not windows?

I'm looking at emulating an image like the one shown here -- truth be told, I've made this program before, but on the very useless Microsoft Visual C# environment. Suggestions? Comments?

Might be easier to translate what you've already written in C#. Provide the source so we can see what / where you want to go.

Unfortunately, the source is long gone, but I hoped the picture would provide a hint. Basically, Mr. Tanaka would pop up and down every minute or so, as a running joke.

This program reaked havoc on the processor, and the code was more about setting the right properties to make the window "transparent."

Look up GUICtrlCreatePic in the help file and study example 2.
