Awesome job looks just like it, very fun.

Very Nice looking. Thanks for sharing.

When trying to add the code

Opt("GUIOnEventMode",1)

for items in your window that I need to make clickable.. it maxes out the CPU.

Can you post an example, i'd like the recreate what you mean.

[EDIT 1]

My CPU stays at around 27% (QuadCore) if i use Opt("GUIOnEventMode",1).

CPU stays idle with GUIGetMsg() loop, maybe someone knows?

Here is my code so far.

Comment out the opt code and see what I mean.

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...st&p=683343

For my dual core as soon as it's run with the opt code uncommented it will max out that core.

Updated code,

I still suggest you use GUIGetMsg() loop

What code would I use then to make the buttons launch applications or do a task if not for the OnEvent?

[CodyBarrett]

maybe you should either use the helpfile... or search the general help forums its very simple

I dont like steam for sticking its nose into recent games

But the fact that GUI's like those are possible in AUTOIT is great news to me

I wonder if AUTOIT could make a GUI like this

or similar ?

If so, how much of a performance issue are we talking about ? Am just curious if those cool GUI's are only possible in C family languages.

[danielkza]

@dirty:

Whatever language was used to make this 'cool' GUI used the Windows API to do it, which is fully available in AutoIt with DLLCalls. Performance would not be my major concern: GUI code is lightweight in comparison to most workloads, and this won't change because you added exotic backgrounds or controls.

There's a cool little UDF that will use BMP's as transparent UI's. So that particular ui you mentioned isn't that far fetched. And the performance isn't hindered either.
