window transparency

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/window transparency

1. It needs at least XP + enabled Luna
2. The 3D Accelerated Part won't become transparent, only Windows GUI elements. Thats because the rendering draws over the original content of that GUI Element with its own data.
3. I wouldn't use it too much. Don't forget that WinXP has no 3D acceleration ... so alpha is done through CPU (unless you enable the alpha effect from the 3D drivers or use WindowBlinds)
