As for shaped windows, you might perhaps have a look at a very simple (leisure) application for Linux that uses them, named "XTeddy" (Andreas Tille <[email protected]>, Homepage http://fam-tille.de). The author seems to have it updated as recently as 2009. But _do_ take into account that under X11, differently from Windows, there's (usually) always a window manager "in the background" that's eager to manage every window on the display. The window manager's task is to "decorate" all the windows according to their style, mainly that the user can handle them (by mouse, usually). There may be window managers that don't allow to turn this behaviour off, and others (like my openbox) that require some special configuration to allow for undecorated windows, which then may or may not be movable, sizaable or whatever one does to windows. I hope that this information can be useful. -- (Weitergabe von Adressdaten, Telefonnummern u.ä. ohne Zustimmung nicht gestattet, ebenso Zusendung von Werbung oder ähnlichem) ----------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, S.
