Hi there,

I am displaying an Imagemap in my mainwindow webbrowser, so it has to be completely transparent (Allowtransparency=true) to see the underlying map.
it works !wonderful! with windowstyle=None.

Unfortunately windowstyle=none is not really userfriendly. i´d rather have a normal window.
Seems no way to do this.

did i miss anything? anyway to get around?

tanks in advance

This is not supported. EO.WebBrowser is based on Chromium browser engine and Chromium browser engine does not fully support transparent window (what Windows called layered window). This has to do with the fact that Chromium work with GPU interface directly (for performance reason) so it's not something that can be easily worked around. What you have found might be the best possible result. Sorry about it!
