About Gui image, text overlay problem Topic is solved

[usnake]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to create a timer via ahk
My idea is to create a gui and make the gui transparent
add a background image to the gui
Then add a text to show the timer value
But my text will cause a part of the background image to become transparent as well
How can I fix this problem?

Hi,

You could try a different color, one that is not part of your background image. Red, yellow, etc.

I didn't set the background color of the text box, in fact I don't know where to set it, but it's the same color as Gui's background by default

Line 1 sets the color. You could try changing it (and the corresponding change on line 3).

Add +BackgroundTrans to your text control.

Gui Add, Text, x8 y10 +BackgroundTrans , 00:00
