Transparant main gui

how to do transparent gui thatway buttons ,edits, listbox, and other objects are still visible?

i tried this but it makes it black

$Form1 = GUICreate("taskbar", 20 + 75 * 4 +20, @DesktopHeight - 75, @DesktopWidth - 20 - 75 * 4 -20, 15, $WS_POPUP)
GUISetBkColor($GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)

and if i use

WinSetTrans()

then it makes buttoins, edits, listbox, and other objects transparent too,but i neet that anything you create with guictrlcreate is clearly visible

I'm sure there is another way to do this, but one way could be to use a transparent picture as the background. I dunno if it would work, but you could try it...

There are various ways.

This is perhaps the easiest by MsCreatoR.

I would try no text for the radios and instead use a label with transparent background.

If you have the window extended style a s$WS_EX_LAYERED then have a pic using GuiCtrlCreatePic with a bitmap, then whatever colour is top left of the bitmap will be transparent, so if the bitmap is a solid colour then the whole area wilkl be transparent. However, buttons over the transparent area will show but not work.

Is this true even if you use GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE) for the transparent background?

I know that a normal background image blocks the button actions unless it's disabled. Maybe it's the same situation.
