Now that I think about it, you could probably even do it with GDI or GDI+, without 3D hardware.

I did it in VB with the msimg32.dll ( <!-- m -->http://msdn.microsof...ibrary/dd144957<!-- m --> ) and it works super fast, really promissing, but after hours of trying I still can´t make it work with AHK.

Option Explicit
Private Type GRADIENT_TRIANGLE
    Vertex1 As Long
    Vertex2 As Long
    Vertex3 As Long
End Type
Private Type TRIVERTEX
    X As Long
    Y As Long
    Red As Integer
    Green As Integer
    Blue As Integer
    Alpha As Integer
End Type

Const GRADIENT_FILL_TRIANGLE As Long = &H2
Private Declare Function GradientFillTriangle Lib "msimg32" Alias "GradientFill" (ByVal hDC As Long, pVertex As TRIVERTEX, ByVal dwNumVertex As Long, pMesh As GRADIENT_TRIANGLE, ByVal dwNumMesh As Long, ByVal dwMode As Long) As Long

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim trVert(4) As TRIVERTEX
    Dim gTr(1) As GRADIENT_TRIANGLE
    ScaleMode = vbPixels
    AutoRedraw = True
    Move Left, Top, 3945, 4230
    
    trVert(0).X = 0
    trVert(0).Y = 0
    trVert(0).Red = 0&
    trVert(0).Green = -256
    trVert(0).Blue = 0&
    trVert(0).Alpha = 0&
    
    trVert(1).X = 255
    trVert(1).Y = 0
    trVert(1).Red = -256
    trVert(1).Green = -256
    trVert(1).Blue = 0&
    trVert(1).Alpha = 0&
    
    trVert(2).X = 256
    trVert(2).Y = 256
    trVert(2).Red = -256
    trVert(2).Green = 0&
    trVert(2).Blue = 0&
    trVert(2).Alpha = 0&
    
    trVert(3).X = 0
    trVert(3).Y = 256
    trVert(3).Red = 0&
    trVert(3).Green = 0&
    trVert(3).Blue = 0&
    trVert(3).Alpha = 0&
    
    gTr(0).Vertex1 = 0
    gTr(0).Vertex2 = 1
    gTr(0).Vertex3 = 2
    
    gTr(1).Vertex1 = 0
    gTr(1).Vertex2 = 2
    gTr(1).Vertex3 = 3
    GradientFillTriangle hDC, trVert(0), 4, gTr(0), 2, GRADIENT_FILL_TRIANGLE
   
    Form1.Show
End Sub

I assume that array fields of GRADIENT_TRIANGLE type and TRIVERTEX stucture are in memory as a chain one after other.
What am I doing wrong?
