This one uses the slider plugin, but all you need to do is used the code in the slider in the custom event of the slider framework.

I Tried That But When I Touch The Slider It Disappears

HINT: try not to make the window fully transparent as you will not be able to open see it anymore (so you cant close it)

Couple things...

If you are using a horizontal slider with the SliderFrameWork, the image names need to start with hslider_ and hknob_. If the slider is vertical, then it needs to start with vslider_ and vknob_.

You were using a horizontal image set with the naming convention of a vertical slider, therefore the slider was moving up and down, not across, so it didn't take much to go from 0 to 100%. So change the image names to hknob_Opacity and hslider_Opacity.

Also, the way the SliderFrameWork works is that 0 is at the left for horizontal and top for vertical. To start the slider knob on the left in this case, the Custom Event needs to be like this instead

-- Custom event 
function On_Slider_Move(sCurrentSlider, nPercent)
	--  use this event to make change the values the slider
	-- is related too
	if sCurrentSlider == "hknob_Opacity" then
		sOS=String.Right(System.GetOSName(),2);
		if (sOS == "XP" ) or (sOS == "00") or (sOS == "03") then
			handle = Application.GetWndHandle();
			nOpacity = Math.Floor(255 * (nPercent/100))
			--makes the slider work in reverse
			nOpacity = 255 - nOpacity
			result = DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\wTrans.dll", "SetWindowTransparency", handle..","..nOpacity, DLL_RETURN_TYPE_LONG, DLL_CALL_STDCALL)
		end	
	end
end

To make it so the window doesn't go completely transparent, I'd do this.

-- Custom event 
function On_Slider_Move(sCurrentSlider, nPercent)
	--  use this event to make change the values the slider
	-- is related too
	if sCurrentSlider == "hknob_Opacity" then
		sOS=String.Right(System.GetOSName(),2);
		if (sOS == "XP" ) or (sOS == "00") or (sOS == "03") then
			handle = Application.GetWndHandle();
			nOpacity = Math.Floor(220 * (nPercent/100))
			--makes the slider work in reverse
			nOpacity = 220 - nOpacity
			result = DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\wTrans.dll", "SetWindowTransparency", handle..","..nOpacity, DLL_RETURN_TYPE_LONG, DLL_CALL_STDCALL)
		end	
	end
end

As for the brief window glitch. I don't know...

[mgokkaya]

-- Custom event 
function On_Slider_Move(sCurrentSlider, nPercent)
	--  use this event to make change the values the slider
	-- is related too
	if sCurrentSlider == "hknob_Opacity" then
		sOS=String.Right(System.GetOSName(),2);
		if (sOS == "XP" ) or (sOS == "00") or (sOS == "03") then
			handle = Application.GetWndHandle();
			nOpacity = Math.Floor(255 * (nPercent/180))
			--makes the slider work in reverse
			nOpacity = 255 - nOpacity
			result = DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\wTrans.dll", "SetWindowTransparency", handle..","..nOpacity, DLL_RETURN_TYPE_LONG, DLL_CALL_STDCALL)
		end	
	end
end

thats what i did and it worked perfect

[mgokkaya]

but when i transparent the window and maximize the window the slider goes to the begining but it is still transparent

The code posted for resizing doesn't take into account that an object may move. The knob is moved back to the original position, because that where the resize code initially saw it. You either need to reset the tblOriginalPositions info for the slide, or handle it manually. The custom event is only fired if you manually move the slide. The on resize code moves it via code, so you too will have to fire that event via code.
