(sorry, I hit send too early to add one other thing)One other thing: the Moblin 2.1 OS I use is the IVI version WITH INTEGRATED IEGD driver....
Thanks Chris, I will look into that and see if I can get the window/stage to be transparent as it appears you have done so in that video clip. If possible, I'd love to have the minimal lowdown on what basic option you set in order to get the window to be transparent like that. I'm sure it must be something simple, but my experiments with opacity at the stage level make all the actors transparent, but not the stage itself. By the way, just to clarify the Moblin environment I use: it's the Moblin IVI 2.1 -- note the IVI in the name -- which I understand is different from the "regular Moblin OS". This is the version that I was having trouble with building the source for 1.2. However, if I can make the transparent window work with the existing Clutter 1.0 that comes on Moblin, then that would be fine and there'd be no immediate need for me to install a later version. I'm only doing that to get the transparency function "clutter_stage_set_use_alpha()" which doesn't seem to have any effect on my Ubuntu VM anyway.
