Hi at all,
is it possible to make the engine window transparent or invisible?
I want to create panels, but the engine window should be invisible, only the panels should be visible. If it's possible, how could I do it?

Mfg, Martek

Set window mode and apply 1;
e.g. video_window(vector(200,200,0),vector(800,600,0),1);// for borderless window.

Yes, I know this feature, but the problem is that now the engine window is still visible, but I want it invisible.
Only the panels I created should be visible.

uhm.. i think he wants to make the complete engine window transparent..

so, if you place a red box as a panel, you see your Desktop.. and the red box.. but no black/blue..etc background in the window..

Yeah thanks, this is what I looking for. But at the moment I've got not installed SP3 for XP, so could maybe someone be so nice an test it for me?
Only a short script, that set the alpha to 0 and creates an panel?
This would make me very happy smile thanks

I think this is not what you need.
The whole engine window is transparent, but the panel, too.

I dont need the function directly, but this where a cool feature
when it is possible.
