Window Transparency

[LazyCoder]

Does anybody know of an extension that can set the window's transparency? I tried sphax kernal but it isn't documented, and I couldn't figure out how to use it.

What I'm trying to do is have the window fade out, so if anybody has a different way of doing this, that would be great.

See if this example helps you with that

Oh cool. That's exactly what I wanted. Thank you!

Just a quick question, I know window transparency doesn't work on windows 95. What happens if I try to do this on 95?

When I try to run your example Jeff, it tells me that the 'Kernel Object (fcKernel.mfx)' is not installed. Where would I find this extension?

It's here in the "released extensions" forum.

It's for MMF2 Developer only though.

So no-go for just plain old MMF2 then?

To be honest, I kind of dislike that. I hated, for instance, that Moho simply changed its name to Anime Studio with no real new additions and was suddenly released in 3 versions, each costing around $70 more than the other. They took off a heap of important features in the lite version that moho originally had for a version cheaper than this one.

This kind of happened with MMF2. Not that the standard version is horrible, but I'm just saying.

Edit: nm. Anime studio has only 2 versions, too. $150 difference.
