Transparent Hotbar

[gdog12356]

Hello, i was wondering if it was possible to have a transparent hotbar. I found this```
Private Declare Function AlphaBlend Lib "msimg32.dll" (ByVal hdc As Long, ByVal lInt As Long, ByVal lInt As _ Long, ByVal lInt As Long, ByVal lInt As Long, ByVal hdc As Long, ByVal lInt As Long, ByVal lInt As Long, ByVal lInt _ As Long, ByVal lInt As Long, ByVal BLENDFUNCT As Long) As Long
```. And robins```
Sub SetTranslucent(ThehWnd As Long, nTrans As Integer)
Dim attrib As Long

  attrib = GetWindowLong(ThehWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE)
  SetWindowLong ThehWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, attrib Or WS_EX_LAYERED
  SetLayeredWindowAttributes ThehWnd, RGB(0, 0, 0), nTrans, LWA_ALPHA
End Sub
```. And soul told me i need to put it into a sperate form. If someone knows how to do this, could they please explain what i need to do? Basically i want to have the skill bar, transparent enough, so that if the player walks under it, than they can still see the player. :) thanks.

Its a very dumb way of doing it. Basically you place the hotbar into a separate form and I think this fades that form. You'll have to change all the code the refers to the hotbars. I recommend against this.

But does it make it appear transparent?

_At a cost._

If you want transparency then stop going down such convoluted routes. Just use CS:DE.

How many times have I attempted to reiterate to you that this way is slow and pointless?
