Partial transparency, chromakey, and opacity!
window_shape for GameMaker » Devlog
This update brings a lot of novelties!
- There is now a function that enables per-pixel partial transparency!
The GIF that you should be seeing above uses it to create a stylized character that can walk around on your desktop. “desktop_friend.zip” is the executable for it and “desktop_friend.yyz” is the source code.
Shoutout to Penzilla for the character sprite. Kind of hard to find a neat non-pixelart character for this sort of showcase, believe it or not. - There is now a function for chromakey transparency!
It’s a cheap, simple option to complex shapes with sharp edges. - There is now a function to adjust window alpha!
This is a simple multiplier that works with other functions.

I was just about to ask if we can draw effects where it's transparent, aka there's "No Window", then i seen this... Great Work Man!
How exactly does the per-pixel transparency work?
Say for example I wanted to use Fluid Dynamics
WhAT EXTRA STEPS if any are there?
(NOTE2self - BUY WHEN I HAVE MUNNY )
I explain the caveats in the documentation - you can do whatever you want so long as you draw things correctly (if you don’t, it’ll still work, but the edges will look funny).
brill, i'ma see what i can make with it..
