1. Thx for explanation. Where can I find the "shaped window" the shelf use in e17 source ? 2. I try xcomposite for now. Transparency and shadow work fine but my clock theme in invisible shelf "Above Everything" not: a) The X even do not refresh. After 1 minute I have 60 hands :) b) "Antialias" do not work. Hands are not smooth. I still do not have(don't found) : #enlightenment_remote -use-composite-set 1 Wiesiek ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
