Can WinCE handle Alpha Transparencies?

Ron or Rob

I have someone that asked a question on WinCE. Does NR running on WinCE support alpha transparency, same effects etc, as it does running under Win32?

What if any are the limitations?

Yes, as far as I can recall you can do the same things on WinCE as you can on Win32, just more slowly. Using ElementAnimation can be a bit painful for example. Oh, and I'm not sure that all third party plugins are available for WinCE.

Using alpha transparency does slow things down a bit more too - I wouldn't advise using completely alpha transparent buttons and frames, but a bit of transparency round the edges is fine.
