Old Eye Candy Program

Hello all I made an Eye candy program a long time ago, and the host that I had it with no longer exists. So I am re-releasing it.

This example uses the GDI+ Plus library to open and display an Alpha channel PNG on the desktop. You can drag it around and right click to end the program.

http://www.gavey.ca/pb/alphabmp.zip

I would love to see someone animate it, or work this into a GUI of some sort.

The code was adapted from some c# code I found on the Internet.

Enjoy!

EDIT --- I went back to look at the old thread and there was an addition from PolyVector that dynamicaly finds the size of the BMP so it doesn't need to be hard coded. I have updated the zip above to handle that ---ENDEDIT

Effigy,

Works fine on my PC.

I will keep the code to embed some apps with a splash or something like that.

Effect is really nice to see.

It is very cool, but can someone give me an example with using that PureBasic Rocks image and drawing INTO that window some API??
