Ok I'm working on the buffering stuff. I'll update asap. Need to study it since I've never used double buffering before lol.
Edit: Alright, it works now. I used BitBblt and draw my hover images on a new WS_EX_LAYERED | WS_EX_TRANSPARENT window that i keep over my original window so i don't redraw the entire contents (aka background) every time which is a waste imo. Just need to polish some weird behavior but I'm sure is more bad code than anything else. This problem is solved. Thanks Code-o-mat.

Not really, do you mean creating the entire contents of my window with the hover image and calling another UpdateLayeredWindow? Didn't try that, sounded like a really bad solution for me, is there a way to update only the part where the button is using updatelayeredwindow?

Edit: Imagine the home button on top of the page. I want to create an effect like what you see when your mouse is above the home link, it changes the appearance. How can I do that if my background image is created on a WS_EX_LAYERE and using UpdateLayeredWindow after the drawing.
