Presumably you mean with the X11 backend (which is in no way Linux specific) when you say "on Linux"? > gtk_widget_shape_combine_mask () could be what you want. No, it wouldn't. That sets the shape of a window. That's nothing new, it has been in GTK+ since ages. It does work on both X11 (as long as the X server has the SHAPE extension, which I guess they practically all do) and Windows. Instead, take a look at testgtk.c in recent GTK+ distributions. Look for the create_alpha_window() function. But I'm afraid that this doesn't work on Windows. Sorry. The Windows API one has to use to fully support per-pixel alpha is horribly broken by design, and making gdk/win32 use it seems rather impossible. (I spent one weekend looking into it, so trust me, this isn't just a gut feeling. I would love to be proved wrong, of course.) Using just one fixed alpha value for a whole window is much easier in the Windows API, but then there is no API to request that in GTK+. I probably should add a feature request for that to Bugzilla and maybe even implement it. --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
