How is the Mario screen mate related to what you want? If it is then it has not been obvious from what you've said so far. Even worse, when you saw that people were on the wrong track why didn't you say so?

I've seen a lot of replies in this thread but so far the person has has given the least information about what is needed seems to be you. It takes time answering questions and it looks like I am unable you help you because I have no idea what you want and your posts so far have been boardering on ridiculous. "bump" and "please help me" are not useful contributions.

Can't you do something like

1) I want to get an effect/image/ window.. like this.

2) This is what I've tried so far

3) the problem I get is this

I'm fed up with this thread, I'm not going to try helping here any more. You're even more annoying than qwertylol.

I'm done here too. Info, why don't you just read that fricken thread, it says so RIGHT THERE IN THAT POST. I'm done with this stupid topic.

We already tried to help you, and im not going to again.

I believe he wants to change the background to one color, then again to another color, since he has the hyphen

Well, I couldn't really understand his first post, but from his screenshot I came up with this. (This might just a be a shot in the dark)

; Function created by JustinReno
;$s_Color = 0(Red) 1(Green) 2(Blue)

#NoTrayIcon

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Quit")

_ColorScreenRegion(0, @DesktopHeight / 4, @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight / 2)

Func _ColorScreenRegion($i_Left, $i_Right, $i_Width, $i_Height, $s_Color = 2)
    Dim $s_Colors[2][3] = [[0, 1, 2], [0xFF0000, 0x00FF00, 0x0000CD]]
    $h_GUI = GUICreate("", $i_Width, $i_Height, $i_Left, $i_Right, 0x80000000)
    GUISetBkColor($s_Colors[1][$s_Colors[0][$s_Color]], $h_GUI)
    WinSetOnTop($h_GUI, Default, 1)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $h_GUI)
    While 1
        Sleep(100)
    WEnd
EndFunc

Func _Quit()
    Exit
EndFunc

You could just exit the script, but it would be easy enough...

; Function created by JustinReno
;$s_Color = 0(Red) 1(Green) 2(Blue)

#NoTrayIcon

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_CloseColorScreenRegion")

_ColorScreenRegion(0, @DesktopHeight / 4, @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight / 2)

Func _ColorScreenRegion($i_Left, $i_Right, $i_Width, $i_Height, $s_Color = 2)
    Dim $s_Colors[2][3] = [[0, 1, 2], [0xFF0000, 0x00FF00, 0x0000CD]]
    $h_GUI = GUICreate("", $i_Width, $i_Height, $i_Left, $i_Right, 0x80000000)
    GUISetBkColor($s_Colors[1][$s_Colors[0][$s_Color]], $h_GUI)
    WinSetOnTop($h_GUI, Default, 1)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $h_GUI)
    While 1
        Sleep(100)
    WEnd
EndFunc

Func _CloseColorScreenRegion()
    Dim $h_GUI
    GUIDelete($h_GUI)
EndFunc

How about this?

$Area, you can use: "left", "right", or "all" for right now.

$Color, is the color you want it.

Func _ChangeScreenColor($Area="All", $Color="0x000000")
    If $Area="All" Then
        $Area=@DesktopWidth&"x"&@DesktopHeight
        $Left=0
    ElseIf $Area="Left" Then
        $Area=@DesktopWidth/2&"x"&@DesktopHeight
        $Left=0
    ElseIf $Area="Right" Then
        $Area=@DesktopWidth/2&"x"&@DesktopHeight
        $Left=@DesktopWidth/2
    Else
        Return 0
    EndIf
    $Areas = StringSplit($Area, "x")
    $GUIHandle=GUICreate("", $Areas[1], $Areas[2], $Left, -1, 0x80000000+0x00040000)
    GUISetBkColor($Color, $GUIHandle)
    GUISetState()
    While 1
        Sleep(500)
    WEnd
EndFunc

Func _DeleteWindow()
GUIDelete($aGUI_Handle)
Endfunc

Ok, Some reason, I couldn't edit my other post, but I have some new code. Works flawlessly

$_Area

Either: "Left", "Right", "All"

$_Color

This Is The Hex Color Of Your Background.

$_AllowMovement

0= No movement

1= Movement

Func _ChangeScreenColor($_Area="All", $_Color="0x000000", $_AllowMovement=0)
    Switch $_Area
        Case "All"
            $Area=@DesktopWidth&"x"&@DesktopHeight
            $Left=0
        Case "left"
            $Area=@DesktopWidth/2&"x"&@DesktopHeight
            $Left=0
        Case "Right"
            $Area=@DesktopWidth/2&"x"&@DesktopHeight
            $Left=@DesktopWidth/2
        Case Else
            $Area=@DesktopWidth&"x"&@DesktopHeight
            $Left=0
    EndSwitch
    $Areas = StringSplit($Area, "x")
    If Not IsArray($Areas) Then
        SetError(2)
        Return 0
    EndIf
    Switch $_AllowMovement
        Case 0
            $GUIHandle=GUICreate("", $Areas[1], $Areas[2], $Left, -1, 0x80000000, 0x00000080)
            GUISetBkColor($_Color, $GUIHandle)
            GUISetState()
            While 1
                Sleep(500)
            WEnd
        Case 1
            $GUIHandle=GUICreate("", $Areas[1], $Areas[2], $Left, -1, 0x80000000+0x00040000, 0x00000080)
            GUISetBkColor($_Color, $GUIHandle)
            GUISetState()
