Absolutely superb, Siwu. Fast, cool, lovely, great...
Only one problem... It won't run on my Win2K3 Ent. Ed. box, not even in XP compatibility mode :(
Any suggestions anyone?
Anything I could do to help with the next version's testing, Siwu?

Oh, and before I get flames for running Win2K3 skinned et al, I have to do IIS 6/.Net development on this box, so I have no choice... But there's no way I'm gonna forego a nice UI for that :6

Well, I don't know about Win2k3, but if it's like LongHorn, the way Windows handle objects is really different than previous versions, since each object is a DirectX one. Not like in XP

If you could tell the if the WS_EX_LAYERED attribute exists in 2k3, it maybe would help :)

Weeell, Win2K3 is built on the same "Whistler" core as XP, so it should be fairly similar to XP (it'd be really cool if it was on Longhorn's core, though ;) )
Where would I find the WS_EX_LAYERED attribute? I assume it's a GDI(+) thing?
Anythin' I can do to help (or rather, get my work machine looking good ;)), I'm happy to... And I'm a developer too, so feel free to bounce ideas off'f me :D

Okay guys, there were a little problem because Visual C++ 6 doesn't support icons with an alpha channel

so I reshacked it, and reuploaded with the new icon :)

the WS_EX_LAYERED is a window attribute set via SetWindowLong()

try to grab some prog that do transparency and see if it works :)

This is seriously turning out to be a quality app siwu. Slows a bit using pentium III machines with a low-end nVidia card but still impressive for the first few versions.

Congratulations all around! :smartass:

by a prog that do transparency, I prog that makes another's program window transparents, not its own

because maybe 2k3 prevent some this kind of setting over programs, for security reasons

Ok...
Sorry if I sound a bit of a ****ie - I'm trying to write a smart proxy at the moment :blink:

I've just tried "Actual Transparent Windows" v1.1 from Download.com's page for it. That works fine. Well, it makes lots of windows transparent, at least. I didn't do much else :P

Anything at all I can do to help you track it down is fine by me... Yes, I'm that bored of what I'm doing now :blink:

Yes, it's normal

since WinFX is modding windows appearance, it's normal that the 2 blending effects collide :)

Ok Siwu, s'a shame...

If not, s'cool... :(
