Transparent ID Number background

[G64]

Hi everyone,

Really cool to find this yesterday. Have been fiddling a lot of time already. Really cool to see such stuff.

I am trying to alter the InstantSupport.au3 a little bit. The thing i am trying to accomplish is to have the ID number have a transparent background that overlays the logo.jpg in the background.

I have tried several things an googled also but i can`t get it to work. If i enter the $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT in the viewer au3 to the corresbonding label field it does show the underlying logo.jpg, but then i cant see the ID number itself.

Code: Select all

; Create the GUI.
$InstantSupport = GUICreate( $str_Program_Title, 450, 200, -1, -1, BitOR( $WS_SYSMENU,$WS_CAPTION,$WS_POPUP,$WS_POPUPWINDOW,$WS_BORDER,$WS_CLIPSIBLINGS,$WS_MINIMIZEBOX ) )
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)
GUISetBkColor( 0xFFFFFF )
$Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel( $IDNumber, 0, 100, 450, 100, $SS_CENTER,$GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT,$GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT )
GUICtrlSetFont( -1, 50, 800, 0, "Arial Black" )
$Pic1 = GUICtrlCreatePic( $WorkingPath & "\logo.jpg", 0, 0, 450, 200, BitOR( $SS_NOTIFY,$WS_GROUP,$WS_CLIPSIBLINGS ) )
GUISetState( @SW_SHOW )

Have any other people accomplished this behaviour in the viewer? I have found Mr. Rat created a similar idea, but before i ask him directly (if that is even possible).

Thanks in advance for even reading my post.

G64,

Glad you like the project.

You'll find tons of info on the AutoIT forums for modifying.

Here was a quick search for "text over image":

Good luck and if you make anything awesome do share.

Yes i have already found some info but i am not a programmer. I do know AutoIT is "fairly" simple but couldnt get it to work. So i thought to ask and maybe someone already found something simple to achieve this

Many hands, make light work
