jpg issue with colour transparency

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

Post your code and your jpg otherwise we're just guessing.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

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.

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
