am632 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hi, I have a jpg image which im using as a background for the gui, code is... GUICtrlCreatePic("images\background2.jpg", 0, 0, 500, 482) and it works fine but there was a glitch with a lable. basically the lable is progress data and updates every 1 second, but because on the default back colour of the lables is was flashing the default grey colour over the top of my jpg. So I added the code... GUISetBkColor(0x818181) so the default background was the same as my jpg and this fixed the glitch however at the same time it caused a particular shade of grey on my jpg to turn transparent, meaning that part of the jpg is now 0x818181. I read through the help file but cant find anything related to jpg's doing this, and now im stuck as i dont understand why this has happened. please can anyone shed any light on this? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xandy Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 JPGs don't have consistent colors. See if BMP works but keep in mind you'll have to reset the color(s) that you want to be consistent.

BrewManNH Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Are you by any chance using the $WS_EX_LAYERED extended style when you create the GUI? Because if you are, that could cause the problem described. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

am632 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hi, thanks all for the replies, i have only just read them as i have been a bit busy since i last posted. I have actually tried a bmp but the same thing happend and i dont have the $WS_EX_LAYERED extended style set. I have actually fixed the problem, I just changed the shade of grey on the jpg to 1 shade difference so its now not the generic default shade and its now not giving the issue. thanks for the replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
