|
|
This may sound like a strange request, But I've been trying to create a user-resizeable GUI, whose entire background is see-through (invisible?). I Also want it to be always on top. Does nothing else but that. (My particular background color is: 0xD8E9EC )
I have a feeling that this script will be super easy for most of you, but I'm having difficulty understanding how to use the various Gui functions, and have been going around in circles trying to perform this simple GUI task. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks. |

I recommend you searching for transparent GUI. This will help you with the invisible background thing. _________________

if it's not visible, why resize it? _________________

I've been searching, haven't found what I needed yet though, thanks anyway.

The borders will hopefully not be invisible, they will act as a linear ruler to aid typists in following rows of text when they are typing data from an imaging system into a data handling program.
Why doesn't this line work, when 0xD8E9EC is the background color? :
| Code: | | WinSet, TransColor, 0xD8E9EC, 0 |
