I don't know how difficult this is to implement but anyway. I think it could be useful to be able to show a message overlayed on the screen with some kind of information. This could be green centered text appearing just above the taskbar. The command could be something like:

ShowOnScreen, This is a test 123

What do you think?

You could use WinMove to reposition the SplashTextOn window. I use this to create a tiny window in the upper-right corner of the screen that contains some changing status info.

I also create only the title bar of the splash window (by making the height parameter blank or zero), so it's very small and doesn't interfere with anything.

But perhaps you had something semi-transparent in mind? If so, maybe the above idea is a good workaround until that can be done. I wonder if an existing window could be made transparent via a simple command, such as WinTransparent, 50 ; 50%

Yea that sounds like a decent workaround. I found an example to show what I meant originally at:

Just looks kind of cool me thinks
