If you know of a simple way to implement transparency support into splash, please share and I will be happy to do it.

its fairly simple from what i can see..

i just need to find a compiler and put some time into figuring it out..

http://dev.slycer.org/magiclime.c has the beginings, but i havn't coded C in like 5 years so i'm kinda rusty on the whole HWND thing :weird:

You can use mingw.

ahem

introducing... MagicLime
[due to the fact that i _hate_ magicpink [255,0,255] i made it magiclime [0,255,0]

exe and c [still under 5 kb w00t]


:weird: :weird: :D :D :weird: :weird:

use as normal, draw function just removes all 'lime' [0,255,0] and then displays..

cant we solve this like we solved it with the transparent checkboxes? that makes magenta the default alpha channel.

meep, 'magenta' is evil
magic pink is the devils work
magic lime [OR of magenta] is where its at :weird:

255 0 255 [magenta]
0 255 0 [lime]
