Hi everyone,
Currently i am using the code below to make onenote transparent.

#IfWinActive, ahk_class Framework::CFrame,
LSHIFT & F1::
WinGet, active_id, ID, A
WinSet, Transparent, 150, ahk_id %active_id%,
Return
LSHIFT & F2::
WinGet, active_id, ID, A
WinSet, Transparent, OFF, ahk_id %active_id%,
Return

However, ideally, i would have hoped to use only one key as a toggle. i explored this idea using Winget, Transparent, Transparent as below.

#IfWinActive, ahk_class Framework::CFrame,
LSHIFT & F1::
WinGet, active_id, ID, A
WinGet, Transparent, Transparent, ahk_id %active_id%,
If %Transparent% = 150,
WinSet, Transparent, OFF, ahk_id %active_id%,
Else
WinSet, Transparent, 150, ahk_id %active_id%,
Return

However, no matter how i tweak it, i couldn't get it to work. Any ideas?

My bad, i meant a single combo instead of a single key.

I tried the

If transparent = 150,

doesn't work as well.. I'm kinda at my wits end.

If transparent = 150,

What for is there that comma after 150? Where have you seen it?

#IfWinActive, ahk_class Framework::CFrame
LSHIFT & F1:: 
  WinGet, active_id, ID, A 
  WinGet, Transparent, Transparent, ahk_id %active_id% 
  If Transparent = 150 
    WinSet, Transparent, OFF, ahk_id %active_id% 
  Else 
    WinSet, Transparent, 150, ahk_id %active_id%
Return

it works now! Thanks everyone!

Some shorter variation, it's using "255" instead of "Off" to avoid flickering:

#IfWinActive, ahk_class Framework::CFrame
LSHIFT & F1::
   _T := (_T = "255" Or _T = "") ? "150" : "255"
   WinSet, Transparent, %_T%, A
Return

wouldn't the use of 255 increase CPU load? I'm on a laptop so CPU load isof concern if i switch on and off often..

One more quirk about this version id that onenote can open up more than one window. So this version can only toggle one window before toggling another window. But thanks anyway, i didn't know the code could be written this way.

Okay, one more line:

#IfWinActive, ahk_class Framework::CFrame
LSHIFT & F1::
   WinGet, _T, Transparent, A 
   _T := _T = 150 ? 255 : 150
   WinSet, Transparent, %_T%, A
Return

I don't think, that 255 will increase CPU load!
