[TuToRiAl] Glass Transparency Graphical User Interface (Awesome) [TuToRiAl] - Resistance - 04-01-2011

Hello there. Today I am going to be running through how to get your program to look transparent. Tired of seeing this all the time?

Well since it wasn't posted here, I thought I would share with you guys this super awesome glassy-GUI.

Instructions:

Put all of this code into your form.

Code:
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

Public Class Form1

    <DllImport("dwmapi.dll")> Public Shared Function DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea(ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, ByRef pMarinset As MARGINS) As Integer

    End Function

    <StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)> _

    Public Structure MARGINS

        Public Left As Integer

        Public Right As Integer

        Public Top As Integer

        Public Bottom As Integer

    End Structure

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        Dim Margins As MARGINS = New MARGINS

        Dim hwnd As IntPtr = Handle

        margins.Left = -1

        margins.Top = -1

        margins.Right = -1

        margins.Bottom = -1

        Dim result As Integer = DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea(hwnd, margins)

        BackColor = Color.Black

    End Sub

End Class

Recommendations:
Then it starts getting difficult, so you will have to follow along.
The color black = the sexy, transparency we want.
Any other color other than white should not be used.
White will show brilliantly, depending which font you use, Veranda is the best. You will change the ForeColor to white to show. Bolding is not recommended, it will look sloppy and messy. For every object you use, from buttons to progressbars, you would want to set the backcolor to "0" or "Transparent" without quotes. And for the Text, you would want to set it to white in order to show. Remember, no other color than white should be used for your objects or else it will look glitchy. Follow all of the recommendations I have provided and you will be fine. Enjoy, don't forget to say thanks or something at least Thumbsup

Results FTW:
Sexy Glass GUI

No why dude, that's not me... I don't leech.

I had this piece of code on my computer for two years now from a different forum that no longer exists.
