Hi I am trying to embed an icon control and an AVI control in the status bar but the problem is they won't retain their transparency. An example: #include <GuiStatusBar.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Global $WindowMain = GUICreate("Example", 351, 176, -1, -1) GUISetBkColor( 0xDDDDDD, $WindowMain ) Global $Statusbar = _GUICtrlStatusBar_Create($WindowMain) Global $Statusbar_PartsWidth[2] = [324, -1] _GUICtrlStatusBar_SetParts($Statusbar, $Statusbar_PartsWidth) _GUICtrlStatusBar_SetText($Statusbar, "", 0) _GUICtrlStatusBar_SetText($Statusbar, "", 1) _GUICtrlStatusBar_SetMinHeight($Statusbar, 20) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) $Icon = GUICtrlCreateIcon('ico.ico',-1,300,130,16,16) ;Icon on GUI ;Without this the icon will not be tranparent. No idea why. GUICtrlSetState($icon, $GUI_SHOW) $Icon2 = GUICtrlCreateIcon('ico.ico',-1,10,10,16,16) _GUICtrlStatusBar_EmbedControl($Statusbar, 1, GUICtrlGetHandle($Icon2), 1+2) ; This has no effect. Icon has a white square around it GUICtrlSetState($icon2, $GUI_SHOW) $AVI = GUICtrlCreateAvi( 'avi.avi',0,250,130,16,16) GUICtrlSetState( $AVI, 1 ) $AVI2 = GUICtrlCreateAvi( 'avi.avi',0,250,130,16,16) GUICtrlSetState( $AVI2, 1 ) _GUICtrlStatusBar_EmbedControl($Statusbar, 0, GUICtrlGetHandle($AVI2), 1+2) Global $GuiMsg Do $GuiMsg = GUIGetMsg() Until $GuiMsg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE I've tried a couple of things like using _GUICtrlStatusBar_SetIcon() or GDIplus for icons and that works and the icons are transparent. As for the AVI, I tried faking a status bar by drawing some lines at the buttom of the window and that worked ok too, But I'd love to be able to use it with a real status bar. example.zip
