Title: Possible to have transparecy though to desktop?
Post by: aNewHobby on May 06, 2012, 01:25:14 pm

Is there a way to have the entire window itself have transparency ? I have been playing with a splash screen using the none options so no resize or close or anything, maybe it might even it might turn into a updater that can use the network stuff to check the net for a update or something b4 the app launches. Anyway I am sure you know the thing i am talking about a splash screen that is transparent though to the desktop.

Can this be done in SFML? I know how to use transparency in images.. but not in the render window itself.

SFML doesn't provide this feature, but you can retrieve the window handle and call the corresponding system-specific functions.
