I get it and Thanks for the graphics. This example shows what BmpTrans on the main or background image does quite clearly. I'm guessing this could be applied separately to buttons, title bars, etc. On your example, when you used "BmpTrans = 000 255 000 (or green)", I've noticed that the gr...

BmpTrans= ???

What does the "BmpTrans"=? for the main background image do? I try using it with gifs or bmp images. Is it supposed to be a blending code for it to blend with the desktop when it notifies? In the tutorial it mentions "To make a background transparent, fill your background a solid colo...

What helps me is showing a grid and enlarging the area being worked on. Also merging the layers one on top of the other for some blending and placement effects. Not always the best choice, though.

This tutorial is going to come in handy. Thanks blind_phantom.
