Tai Kamiya Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Hey guys!I was wondering, can I set transparency in the graphical user interface? I tried adding transparency in the Item Description image, and changed the source line:``` frmMain.picItemDesc.Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path & "\data files\graphics\gui\main\description_item.jpg")```to```frmMain.picItemDesc.Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path & "\data files\graphics\gui\main\description_item.png")```This resulted in an error. Well, there is an another way to do it?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadalinV Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 No you can't, Dx 7 doesn't support PNG's. It can't render them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tai Kamiya Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 > No you can't, Dx 7 doesn't support PNG's. It can't render them.But I'm using the Nightly, it doesn't uses DX8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkcrow Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 > ~~No you can't, Dx 7 doesn't support PNG's. It can't render them.~~GDI doesnt support PNG's that means you cant load PNG's into vb6 controls although you can achieve transparency through the use of some APIs but that will really kill your FPS. Your best bet is to use the DirectX 8 engine and modify it to render the gui with textures instead of using controls or just wait for the new engine witch is being developed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greendude120 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 There's already a dx8 engine you can use, Dragon Eclipse for example. or Deathbeam's engine (w/e its called). Give it a try or wait for the new engine by Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
