More information:
By now we all know how to create skinnable forms based on bitmaps. But all those demos share one problem - The form is
static and can't be resized (a fine example of a resizable window is the Playlist window in Winamp).
This demo shows you how to combine transparency support AND resizability. Check it out.
VERSION UPGRADES 06/09/01 and 03/22/2001: Features added include
- Skinnable Minimize/Exit buttons, which are automatically re-positioned when the form is resized.
- An invisible wrapper form that handles minimize/restore from the taskbar.
- Support for loading region (transparency) data from a cache file instead of re-computing it each time, resulting in a 50% faster load time.
