Problem with transparent window with a GIF being on top

[Rad]

Trying to make the image stay on top and be click through, but can't get the image to stay on top. There must be some problem redrawing the image with the $WS_EX_Transparent option but I can't find a way to fix it.

Tried a few different ways to make the image too. Maybe someone who is more advanced can give me a suggestion? I remember seeing an example script that showed a wizard.gif or something and you could draw it outside of the window. Maybe this would be a workaround to the $WS_EX_TRANSPARENT problems. But I don't know.

Any code you have tried that we can play with?

Oh whoops, lol! I clicked select file then thought the button next to it would upload, but that button says "Clear Selection"

And I just got back too... I'm going to mess around with it some more for awhile

EDIT: Commented out the $WS_EX_TRANSPARENT part inside the GUICreate() function, but still using it in the _WinAPI_SetWindowLong function, and it seems to stay on top. I think it's fixed for now.
