i guess you could make a borderless window, then draw the rectangle, using a pen of your own

but - the user has selected a set of colors
it's not nice to change the standard appearance of windows
not to say it isn't done   :P

          Style=90080802h

WS_POPUP    equ 80000000h ;The windows is a pop-up window. This style cannot be used with the WS_CHILD style.
WS_VISIBLE  equ 10000000h ;The window is initially visible.
WS_SYSMENU  equ 00080000h ;The window has a window menu on its title bar. The WS_CAPTION style must also be specified.
DS_CENTER   equ 00000800h ;Centers the dialog box in the working area of the monitor that contains the owner window.
DS_SYSMODAL equ 00000002h ;This style is obsolete and is included for compatibility with 16-bit versions of Windows.
                          ;If you specify this style, the system creates the dialog box with the WS_EX_TOPMOST style.

you want a WS_CHILD window, right ?
or - are those the style bits for the parent window ?

WS_CHILD    equ 40000000h

Hi

Thank you both for your answer

This blue window with frame is  draw with gdi ,this green with black screen is gdi but try to change the color of this black frame

is this from CreateBitmap ?

It's not easy to see but in your code the FrameRect  brush border have 7 F instead of 6. (6=white 7=black in my test).

HSE is right
you have

Code Select Expand

invoke CreateSolidBrush,0FFFFFFFh ;7 'F's
because the value is invalid, it returns a 0, which gets you black   :P

Code Select Expand

invoke CreateSolidBrush,0FFFFFFh  ;6 'F's
now, an HBRUSH should be returned

by the way - you should save that HBRUSH, so you can DeleteObject when you are done with it   :t

if you really want a white brush, use GetStockObject, then you don't have to delete it
