Um, well no, I've never seem Winamp but I remembered Windows media player has a weird shape in skins mode ... so I looked up "nonrectangular windows"

where you create an elliptic region. I do not know how you would convert a bitmap into an elliptic region.

I know quite well how to make those things with Windows API. But I was just wondering if Ultimate++ has these kind of cross-platform capabilities like other toolkits have...

1. Then you already knew the answer ...

2. BTW - which other toolkits can do what you asked, which was ... "How to set window shape by means of a bitmap?"

1. I didn't know the anwser. And I'm still thinking that there is
a possibility to use popup.

2. At least FOX:
from FXWindow.h

 /// Set window shape by means of region
  virtual void setShape(const FXRegion& region);

  /// Set window shape by means of bitmap
  virtual void setShape(FXBitmap* bitmap);

  /// Set window shape by means of icon
  virtual void setShape(FXIcon* icon);

  /// Clear window shape
  virtual void clearShape();

  /// Raise this window to the top of the stacking order
  virtual void raise();
