Hi everybody.

I just discovered PureBasic, it's very impressive :D

I have a question : is it possible to make transparent windows ?
=> not a rectangular window, but a window with holes, where we can see the desktop behind.
(like some interfaces, for exemple BSPlayer) ?

Thanks, coma.

you can more easily use the PureTools_I library by Danilo. you can find it by searching PureTools on the forum search tool.

oh, thanks, it's perfect ! :)

last thing : I have a problem when I copy/paste some code from the forum to the PB editor (not always) : all the text is put on the same line. How can I arrange this ?

paste into Wordpad first, then copy that into PB editor. Some formatting got screwed with forum re-shuffle. :twisted:
