As far as I can see, there will be no way to fix the fickering problem. You best idea is to make a gif of snowflakes falling and us GuiCtrlCreatePic() to place it on your gui. You will want to use @desktopWidth and @DesktopHeight in both cases.

The flickering can be slowed down by reducing the speed in the fall of snowflakes but that will cause other problems including a lag like effect.

You could also try using an * mark set to white with a size of 13. That shouldnt flicker at all but your graphics will be lower.

Hope this helps. :)

lol nice idea but not what i'm looking for ^_^

Try using this:

CODEControlMove($GUI_Snow, '', $Snowflake, $Snowflake_X, $Snowflake_y)

Instead of

CODEGUICtrlSetPos($Snowflake, $Snowflake_X, $Snowflake_Y)

There doesn't seem to much difference, but I think there is some.

k thanks i'll use it :)

Is it maybe possible to stop the gui from refreshing everytime the snowflake goes some pixels downwards so only he control itself will be refreshing?

Hmms or maybe i should use a seprate gui for every snowflake? :)

I've tryed it with sprites like this:

; GUI SNOW
$GUI_Snow = GUICreate("Snow", @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_LAYERED)
$L_SnowBackground = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 0, 0, @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight)
GUICtrlSetBkColor($L_SnowBackground, 0xff00ff)
;GUICtrlSetState(@SW_LOCK, $GUI_Snow)
;GUISetState(@SW_DISABLE, $GUI_Snow)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GUI_Snow)
Background("", 0, 0, @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight)
DllCall("user32.dll", "long", "SetLayeredWindowAttributes", "hwnd", $GUI_Snow, "long", 0x00ff00ff, "long", 255, "long", 1)
;LoadImage(@ScriptDir&"\Files\snowflake13.gif", 0, 0, 0, 0, 1)
$Snowflake_Load = loadsprite(@ScriptDir&"\Files\snowflake13.gif")
$Snowflake = Sprite($Snowflake_Load, 0, 0, 15, 15, 1, 1, 0, $Snowflake_X, $Snowflake_Y)
;WinSetOnTop($GUI_Snow, "", 1)
; END GUI SNOW

It works but if i move a window it's going really slow

If you had something else in mind please post :)

You will need the "dll" file located here

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...st&p=286823

put this is the same folder as the script above

8)

Aha is see, pretty interesting, its just needs a 3D effect & it will b pretty nice.

Yet i see that, the longer it runs, the more Memory it consumes....this makes it pretty useless, well unless I write another exe, that will start & turn it off lets say each 5 min.

:)

yea, i know

sprites get a screencopie from the desktop

when a new window comes in front, they must get a new screencopie

i can fix that

but that's for tomorro :)

Watching and waiting! ^_^

... also, can you make them kinda "stack-up" a little at the bottom and lower corners, kinda like an window would appear???

Maybe you fix this also:

Screen & snow* at first after we put Random(1,1280,1)
