Hi James, from my side there's nothing to add to Gheyret's answer. As of now there's no such option to achieve transparency of the GeDialog. Using third-party libraries could be a potential option, but we don't provide any support for this case. Cheers, Ilia

Hello, Thanks for sharing your answer @zipit and @Cairyn Cheers, Manuel

@C4DS Thank you. Works as expected!

@r_gigante Thanks for the feedback. FYI, this wasn't only with R21, had the same issue with R20, since the "old laptop" was restricted to R20 only. But I guess no updates will follow for R20 anymore.

Hello Manuel, thank you very much! This was exactly what I needed! It is not exactly for my own render engine. I just wanted to implement an open source one as a side-project and to familiarize myself with that topic by just doing it. Best Regards Florian

@s_bach OK, thanks!

Hello, as far as I know the licenseID is a temporary session ID that is only used internally. It has no use for third party developers. The hardware ID is based on the corresponding OS functions. So the hardware ID is the same as long the OS thinks the system is the same. Please also notice that, for internal reasons, the format of any of these IDs may change in future releases. Is it up to the studios to decide how they want to license their software. A typical use case could be that a studio creates a single account that is shared in the company. So there would be one user ID for the whole studio. It is up to you to decide if you want to bind your plugin to that user ID or a system ID. best wishes, Sebastian

@m_adam RE: Maya radial Yea, it by theory the multiple gedialogs with pop-up from certain distance from the mouse should create a radial. I'll probably have it for another time/thread. Thanks for the response. Will consider this thread close RE: non working code example. Sure sure. Will let you know if anything comes up. The codes I referred above was from awhile ago, so I don't have immediate memory of them.

@zipit @m_magalhaes Yes, zipit was correct on my concern: If he has to worry about the new API on day-2-day tasks like selecting an object Guess, I don't have to for now. Thanks for the clarification.
