I need an image window without a title bar, can it be achieved?

use ImageRender. It is part of TextRender. https://github.com/iseahound/TextRender

Sample Script:

#include TextRender (for v1).ahk
#include ImagePut (for v1).ahk

buffer := ImagePutBuffer("media\untitled.png")
ir := ImageRender()
ir.Render(buffer.pBitmap, "t:1.5s k:s s:15 q:0")

Esc:: ExitApp

Also see: https://github.com/iseahound/TextRender/wiki/Styles, the styles are very similar for ImageRender, just that s becomes scale.

think！

hWin := imageputwindow("1.png")
WinSet, Style, -0xC00000, ahk_id %hWin%

imageputwindow return window's hwnd. so you can easily remove the title bar.

Hmm... That does something weird on my system. It's actually very easy to make one without a titlebar. I specifically tried to create a window with a title bar for the ImagePutWindow function. And make the windows without titlebar part of ImageRender.

[iseahound]

If I add a window without a titlebar, what do I call this new function? ImagePutWindow is already taken.

[telppa]

ImagePutDisplay ? ImagePutShow ? ImagePutMinWindow ? ImagePutWindow(p1, p2, notitlebar:=true) ?

[iseahound]

Alright I've decided on ImageShow().

ImageShow("https://picsum.photos/200")
ImageShow("https://picsum.photos/500", "a random pic", [500])
ImagePutWindow("https://picsum.photos/200/300")
ImagePut.gdiplusStartup()
ImagePut.show(ImagePutBitmap("https://picsum.photos/100"))

It's been added to the main script, feel free to test it out. In addition, ImagePutWindow has been extended to include a position parameter.
