GUI opacity

[TheThingIs]

Could I request the ability to set the opacity of the gui. I like to overlay va on top of my game and I think this would be a nice feature to have.

Thanks,

Lee


EDIT by Pfeil: This option is now also available using the "SetOpacity()" method within an inline function

nircmd has been recommended in the past for a multitude of features, window transparancy is one of them.

You could use

Code: [Select]

Run application 'nircmd.exe' -with parameters 'win trans ititle "VoiceAttack" 192 ' (hidden)
To set VoiceAttack to 75% transparency(Values range from 255, which is opaque, to 0, which is invisible).

Thanks Pfeil, excellent suggestion, I shall do that!

It would still be nice to have the option within VA for us numpties

From the help doc:

Command line parameter, '-opacity' was also added as a test.  Passing a value of 0 to 100 affects the main screen's opacity level.  100 = not transparent at all, 0 = fully transparent. Example:  -opacity 75 sets the opacity at 75%.

It hasn't made it into the UI as of yet.

Bah, I thought I searched the documentation. That's what I get for doing 5 things at once

The nircmd actually works really well. I've written a little command that sets 10..100% and can now adjust it on the fly.
