$WS_EX_LAYERED

[SkellySoul]

Sigh these Animate Window Effects are GREAT but they don't work with $WS_EX_LAYERED which really makes it hard to make a nice GUI

This is not all how can you have a nice graphical GUI if you can't skin combo's/inputs/checkbox .etc (buttons are do able by using pictures.)

This works on XP.

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
$hwnd = GUICreate("Blend test", 300, 300 ,- 1, -1, -1, $WS_EX_LAYERED)

;

It might be best if you posted a small example script that demonstrates the problem. Unless it is an operating system thing.

I got a picture that is transparent in the purple parts but it shows the purple parts everytime it animates.
