A downloadable asset pack for Windows

Download NowName your own price


This extension is mainly used to make the GM window background transparent or semi-transparent (such as removing the default black, showing the program or desktop behind the window, allowing to set the overall transparency or gradient transparency, and also has a screenshot function for faking semi-transparency in full-screen mode where efficiency is required). You can even create a new window for interaction.

It can be used to make desktop pets and desktop tools (such as showing pressed keys, supporting dragging and dropping files to the window, opening files, so you can make file drawers). Because of the support for making desktop tools, it also allows more magical interactions, such as dragging and dropping files to desktop pets or game characters.

And additionally solve some other details:
For example, typical: do not allow writing or deleting files to the directory where the game exe is located, now you can do this.
You can disable or restore the ime of the window to avoid the need to switch the input method to respond to the keyboard, and add the ime position correction function.
Added a second confirmation for window closing to avoid accidentally closing when you need to save data.
Added a more convenient out-of-focus keyboard press and release function than the keyboard_check_direct function and solved the conflict between this function and the left mouse button.

Hey @Hxyy thanks for making this , it is a great extension i made a desktop pet with it! 

what about the license ? can we use this in comercial projects?

Feel free to use it as I am not a professional developer, there is no quality guarantee, so it is completely free. I made this plugin out of interest, but I'm lazy.

I downloaded the plug-in but I can't seem to get it working can you make a tutorial please

I have put machine translation usage documents in both files, examples are in the demo.

If you are talking about the inability to be transparent in wm mode, it may have something to do with windows Settings.

I can't figure out how to install this, is there a guide anywhere i could use?

This is great stuff! thank you!
