I'm trying to figure out how to do Glass without getting the see-through color of the form background.  As you can see in the screen shots, if the background color is black, glass likes it.  Otherwise you get the see-through region instead of real shiny glass.

What I'm wondering, since I'm not adept at painting the form in AutoIt3, is if there's a way to paint the region that will be glass, black, and not let the system repaint extend the form background color into that region.  The link shows the Vista Glass autoit function by James Brooks that I'm using, with my comment asking if there's a way to modify it as described.

Edit:  got it to work.. nevermind :)

Is there anywhere to post useful snippets?  The Programming School forum is busted out into languages already but I don't know if snippet posting would be a distraction or disallowed?

I'm just thinking if somebody came up with a few lines of code, esp. something that harnesses a resource that might not be obvious, it might be useful.

As example of what I mean, I was trying to find a way to simulate associative arrays in AutoIt3 to make it easy to look up a text symbol using a more human readable key.  I ran into a discussion on AutoIt Forum making use of the Microsoft Scripting.Dictionary object that's already on Windows.  That simplified matching up key/item pairs instead of trying to mess with 2 dimensional arrays or some other more complex library.

Anyway, if snippet posting is allowed then I vote for an AutoIt3 language to be added to the compendium.  :up:
