Presentation styles

Compositing allows you to implement partial window transparency.

Presentation styles are a feature of Genero BDL; therefore, presentation styles that are officially supported by Genero BDL are covered in the Genero Business Development Language User Guide.

Presentation styles discussed on this page can be used with the GDC, but are not officially supported by Genero BDL.

Compositing with blurBackground

Windows® Vista and Windows 7 introduced Compositing.

Use the "blurBackground" style attribute to create a semi-transparent window in GDC.

<Style name="Window.semitransparent">
  <StyleAttribute name="blurBackground" value="yes"/>
</Style>
