A simple slider bar, that attaches itself to the title bar of the window, drag the slider, and it will make the window its attached to transparent, still in beta, don't change the transparency of your desktop like a script kiddie please, it screws your icons, and wallpaper over, maybe for good, still haven't restarted.

Quite small too.

EDIT1:
Made the slider slightly transparent, as so it doesn't stick out on the blue bar.
Made it shrink, as the window shrinks, so it doesn't stick off the window when it gets to small.
Made it stick to the window when moved.



Constructive criticism welcome.

COOL!
it slows down window resizing, and window dragging tho.

This is cool;

Hmm, well since this tool is focused on additional functions for windows, why not add a few other "common" controls, as roll up the window, minimize to tray etc.. but it's jsut a suggestion imho.

Didn't look through your code properly, but the Settimer could be a bit devastating if you're running the program in the background... I tend to code my scripts in such ways that they barely affect the pc (Only on scripts that are meant to run the whole time)...

Bleh I know I couldn't find a way to get it to stay on the bar maybe ill set it to like 10Ms.
And yeah I was kinda thinking that like having a windows function script like, min2tray, roll up, and this all in one script but lets work the kinks out of this first.

And @ Jex thanks lol this is my first script actually Heh

Also my computer has dump truck loads of ram lol I think I have like 8 gigs or so of ram, so it doesn't affect me at all I may make a settings window for it, that would work.

Trying to find a way to tell when the user switches to a new window, so it can retrieve the attributes I need(Always On Top, Transparency Level, Ect.)
Any ideas?

Well, I posted some info here on a way to check for active window change, but its straight from MSDN and I have no idea how to use for AHK... unfortunately the thread has received no replies so it seems that no one else does, either ):

Added a button to make the current window always on top, but still no way to tell when the active window changes.

You might want to look into ShellHook messages. I learned quite a lot from this script: http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic35623.html

Super Small Change > Added AltSubmit so the window fades realtime
