Hallo,
in the help of ahk I read that you can make a window an ellipse by Winset,Region, E
or an Rectangle by
Winset, Region, R

Is it right that you can make the shape of a window an ellipse or an rectangle? I tried everything, but my windows didnīt react to this command...
I tried the following:
Code:

Gui,Show,w599 h599,TEST1
Winset,Region,E,TEST1
Gui,Restore

...but my window didnīt morph to an ellipse. What am I doing wrong?
Or did I understand the effect of this command wrong?

Thanks for help!

I've never used the winset, region command so I had to check. This code works fine for me:
Code:
Run, notepad, , , OutputVarPID
sleep, 1500
;WinSet, Region, 50-0 W200 H250, ahk_pid %OutputVarPID%
WinSet, Region, 50-0 W200 H250 E, ahk_pid %OutputVarPID%
msgbox, Errorlevel: %errorlevel%

Comments to your code:
Code:
Gui,Show,w599 h599,TEST1
Winset,Region,E,TEST1 ;You've left out all of the numbers that define the elipse. You need to define Wn, Hn and X-Y. See the documentation.
Gui,Restore ;You probably mean "Gui, Show, restore" but you don't seem to need it for this purpose.

Try this:
Code:
Gui, Add, Text, x26 y17 w340 h160 , THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST. THIS IS A TEST.
Gui, Show, w599 h599, TEST1
WinSet, Region, 50-0 W200 H250 E, TEST1
msgbox, ErrorLevel is set to 1 upon failure and 0 upon success.`nErrorlevel:%errorlevel%
