Hi,

is it possible to create transparent TopWindow.

Calling

TransParent()

in the constructor doesn't seem to work as the window-background is still painted on my Windows machine.

I would like to have a transparent top window (so you see the windows behind it or the desktop of the user) and still be able to show a text or image.

Best regards,

Martin

Well, at time it was considered too platform dependent.

In any case, you can still use GetHWND to obtain the handle and/or use Style/ExStyle to setup Win32 window styles.

However, alternatively, it would be nice if you or somebody fixed TopWindow code (but both for Win32 and X11) - I would be glad to use such fix.
