[General] UI transparency

[venger07]

Is it possible to change this black background transparent?

The black part of this UI is part of the texture background it seems, you need to find the .blp in your imports and edit it. (humantile02)

I checked its blp, however, it is already transparent , so I'm not sure how can I make it transparent so I can see behind it.

The playable world stops at the start of bottom ui, in warcraft 3 versions before V1.32.
When your version has some frame api one can extent the world frame. Or maybe there is some 3rd party launcher that does it in your version.

In V1.31.1 this line would do it:
call BlzFrameSetAllPoints(BlzGetOriginFrame(ORIGIN_FRAME_WORLD_FRAME, 0), BlzGetOriginFrame(ORIGIN_FRAME_GAME_UI, 0))

This would have undesirable consequences, such as clicking units through the UI or seeing health bars bleed through the UI where it usually will not. Can’t we just change the texture of the ConsoleUIBackdrop?

if you have ConsoleUIBackdrop, then Warcraft 3 V1.32+ is running and that has fullscreen playWorld on default. And yes one can set texture of ConsoleUIBackdrop to blank or 0 alpha.

BlzFrameSetTexture(BlzGetFrameByName("ConsoleUIBackdrop", 0), SkinManagerGetLocalPath("EscMenuBlankBackground"), 0, true)

EscMenuBlankBackground=UI\Widgets\EscMenu\Human\blank-background.blp
