BTW, has anyone played with Windows transparency in Win32::GUI; the
ability to make a window 50% transparent so that windows under the top
window will still be visible? I've played with it some using VB5, but on
W2K it causes a BSOD when combined with a notify icon. I've never really
tried to figure out what's going on. If I can to the graph with
Win32::GUI,
and use a notify icon, and create windows transparency, then I'm going to
convert the VB5 code to perl.
In principle it should be very easy to add transparent support for Win32-GUI
see:

Win32-GUI is missing the SetLayeredWindowAttributes method/function so you
would have to use Win32-API to call it. If you or anyone else wants this, or
any other win32 API functions added to the core of Win32-GUI, create a
feature request tracker item on the home page.
Cheers,
jez.
