I think you get alpha blending with background now if you set transparent less than 255. To get a shadow, I think you would need to small black bars locked to the sides of your visible bar. Each of these would have transparency up to 254. You may want to do with win transmouse to get full mouse clickthrough. I can look at automating shadows at some point. > > > Is there something else you think that would be useful that is in > > GDI+f or drawing bar buttons or bar or menus backgrounds?? > > Hmm, it might be nice to have some of the image-effects that GDI+ > apparently offers, like blur a button image on mouseover, but I guess > it's pretty difficult to provide these functions in PPro... Actually, I suspect a plugin that offers many of the GDI+ services related to images and drawing may not be too difficult. My bigger challenge will be to get the GDI+ headers to compile with my old, old VC5 compiler! > Attention: PowerPro's Web site has moved: http://www.ppro.org Yahoo!
