Though I keep hoping somebody will be able to explain to me otherwise, there does not appear to be any way to make top level X windows transparent or translucent with the stock GTK (due to a limitation in X itself, I believe)...
However, if all you want is the shape, and the contents don't need to be transparent then take a look at gtk_widget_shape_combine_mask -- http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtkwidget.html#gtk-widget-shape-combine-mask --Brett Egon Andersen, Talura wrote: > Hi, > > Is it possible to make the background in a window transparent? > The reason that I ask is that I have made a splash screen with an image > that is not rectangular (transparent background) and I would like the > window to appear as having the same shape as the image. > I've been looking at gtk_style family, but I haven't found the solution. > > Any hints? > > Best regards > Egon Andersen > > _______________________________________________ > gtk-list mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
