doesn't work on Windows XP, needs this fix :

[TheSlider2]

Greetings,

The Sublime Text 2 issue tracker regarding transparency had a comment that got me here.

As this is only for windows, i decided to try it but with no luck as it was supposedly made using win7. I still had a look into the code and checked a few functions to see if win xp could handle them and it seems it could according to msdn.microsoft.com.

Anyway, after a quick check, i found that the function GetDesktopWindow() doesn't take any arguments so i updated SublimeTrans.py to reflect that :

Before :
Line 78 : LHDesktop = GetDesktopWindow(None)
After :
Line 78 : LHDesktop = GetDesktopWindow()

For anyone wanting to try it out, just open SublimeTrans.py in SublimeText and edit the corresponding line then save. It will reload the file so you can test it right away without having to close anything.

Enjoy, it works on Windows xp now.

Thank you so much, It's a good effort. Anyway I think most of ST2 users are Mac users like me, so until I have a MacOSX version I won't be able to test it.

Well, you're welcome but I did nothing compared to the author of this plugin.
I'm note sure that "most" are on Mac but I do hope that a similar plugin will be made available for your favourite OS too.

Since this plugin uses a Windows api (DLL) to handle the window transparency, maybe you can help by asking your preferred MacOs community if they can somehow "translate" it to use the OSX window api...
I'm sorry but I don't know how it works on Mac, I'm only assuming MacOs has it's own sort of DLL.
