MilesAhead Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 hmm mine doesn't seem to come out quite right. Any ideas?I'm running W7 so maybe that's throwing it off. I don't have a Vista machine to test it on.Thanks,KennySee my posts in the thread. The first hack has a bug. I used the wrong subscript for the first label. If you look through you'll see what I mean. My Freeware Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesAhead Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) MilesAhead, it's a sweet little hack.Also, Ken, it works fine for me on 7.Thanks. I tried a few things then ProgAndy suggested using labels. That works nicely.Since it's a general purpose routine it was easy to add glass to my about box, color pick dialog, hotkey pick dialog. Really spiffs up the little utility.

komalo Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) Nice Work you know what , you can create a GUICreate Function Only that it enables the user to have Glass inside it's application , you know like AeroGUICreate with the same GUICreate arguments but with an extra one that defines the way ( clientframe or blur behind ) Edited May 28, 2009 by komalo [font="Palatino Linotype"][size="3"]AutoIt Script Examples :[/size][/font][font="Palatino Linotype"][size="3"]_CaptureBehindWindowGlass CMD for Windows Vista/Seven[/size][/font][left][/left][font="Palatino Linotype"][size="3"]Non AutoIt Script programs : Border Skin - Aero Glass On XP[/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 I don't quite see how to get controls on top not to be affected. Any function I use results in badly drawn controls.

MilesAhead Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I don't quite see how to get controls on top not to be affected. Any function I use results in badly drawn controls.I think I saw some code on Code Project or someplace where the guy draws controls and text over glass. It looked like a real pita. That's why I'm sticking to border effects for now. I don't know if there are all that many windows that are useful being semi-see-through anyway. Of course I'd try it if it didn't look like it would take a month of messin' with it. iirc you can't use any of the ownerdraw draw text library functions. They won't be legible.

spazpunt Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 what you created here is absolutely awesome!!!!! do u think a windows border could be added to the context menu in vista? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanK Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 (edited) @spazpunt: I believe context menus can't be altered... not sure though.the glass functions are really awesome. I used it a bit (the about-box in caravelle and for this). Thank you, James! >_<EDIT: I forgot to mention that I used it also for Caravelle3's installer. It looks wonderful thanks to your efforts!

LOULOU Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I don't understand the utility of that's programm. I have XP nd it seems than in XP it doesn't work So what is the utility to have aero window if you have alread win wista ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanK Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 (edited) On XP it doesn't work, because XP doesn't feature the Aero Glass effects. They were introduced with Vista and continue on Win7. You may find more info here.I attached a screenshot of Caravelle's installer, so you see what it looks like on Vista.Later, I can add a screenshot of how it would look on XP. However, you won't have the glass effect on XP.EDIT: Okay, now you can compare what a glass GUI and a non-glass GUI looks like. On both screenshots, it's the same application, left on Vista/Win7 and right is XP. regards,Roman Edited August 9, 2009 by RomanK [font="Courier New"]http://RomanK.hondadesigns.com[/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 All my buttons look weird, (Windows 7 7600 RTM, x64) Glass color doesn't matter...Black should work. You need to create an area around the button. Blog - Seriously epic web hosting - Twitter - GitHub - Cachet HQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have the first time... http://www.planet-source-code.com/URLSEO...asp/txtCodeId!69756/lngWid!1/anyname.htmThat appears to show some examples using VB. I'm about to look it over, need to go nab VS real quick. Just pointing it out in-case it helps. The above link may be an answer to FireStorm's question.
