This was the example script that came with AutoIt Help. The function used is "GUISetBkColor" which is located under AutoIt Help > AutoIt > Function Reference > GUI Reference > GUI Parameters > GUISetBkColor.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $msg
    
    GUICreate("My GUI") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

    GUISetBkColor(0xE0FFFF) ; will change background color

    GUISetState()     ; will display an empty dialog box

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        
        If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
    WEnd
EndFunc  ;==>Example

Make your topic title specific and you might get more replies.

I know, but I don't know how to do it.

All I'm saying is if you changed your topic title from "is there any way to ..." to something more specific like "How do I change the color on the GUI's title bar" you might get a faster reply from a knowledgeable person.

Most people I know don't open stupid threads that have stupid titles eg:

"is there any way to ..."

"I need help..."

"Noob question..."

If you learn that then you will have graduated from "I make stupid titles" to "I make titles that explain exactly what I want to do" school and I will be happy

ok i get that as insult from u ....

[LongBowNZ]

My last post in this thread.

Take it how you wish but if you want help I suggest changing your title.

Photoshop and a custom GUI.

FYI, if you post like a newbie you won't get any help...

if u don't know how or don't have anything good or useful to say don't post at all........

That would apply just as much to you as him since he is RIGHT!! The way to do this is with a custom GUI created with images, buttons etc.

Actually Szhloop told you two useful pieces of information. Create a custom GUI in photoshop and use it and it is a valid point. If you act like a n00b no one will take you seriously, in fact most people will not only disregard this post but most you make in the future. You'll also probably see a lot of "RTFM!"s. No one's asking you to change who you are, just your posting style, be a bit more concise that's all.

Lucky for you I was messing with colored titlebars here:

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...mp;#entry569581

Just put a transparent label over the X/Max/Min buttons, then pick the messages up with GUIGetMsg()

[FlintBrenick]

(wwwwwwwwwooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww.......... I feel like I've started something bad lol.)

My bad Cha0sBG, I didn't notice the pic when I posted my reply, sorry. Making a custom GUI is the only way I know how to do this.

Note: No body is making fun of you or insulting you. They are just trying to help you by letting know that using an effective title brings more results.

You didn't do that, did you?

[Cha0sBG]

I edited what I did here, which was based of something Jex did a while back. It's a bit messy, and could be optimized, but here it is.

Script:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>


$sFile = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\AutoIt", "InstallDir") & "\icons\filetype1.ico"

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 801, 601, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_POPUP, $WS_BORDER))
GUISetBkColor (0xDDDDDD)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreatePic("Header.jpg", 0, 0, 800, 20, -1, $GUI_WS_EX_PARENTDRAG)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)

$Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Label2", 24, 2, 539, 18, -1, $GUI_WS_EX_PARENTDRAG)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1,$GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)

$title_close = GUICtrlCreateLabel("X", 788, 2, 12, 18)

Not that hard if you take the time to think. Also, IMO you'll get more replies, and more help if you actually try and are kind to others attempting to help you. Of course you won't get good/nice answers if you don't be nice....
