Hello Sieghard. > A dependency to wine? Certainly not.
No, it is a dependency that emulator wine uses to render rounded corner if the Windows application was compiled with CreateRoundRectRgn() and SetWindowRgn(). That dependency is part of the libXExt library. But I did not find any Pascal translated code of shape.h (one of the header of libExt to deal with shape of forms). And I fail to translate it using h2pas from fpc. > have a look at a very simple (leisure) application for Linux that uses them, > named "XTeddy" Thanks, I will do. I found some example how to do shaped forms with Xorg: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2005-October/010747.html But it uses libXExt dependency: <https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2005-October/010747.html> #include <X11/extensions/shape.h> Fre;D ________________________________ De : Sieghard <[email protected]> Envoyé : mardi 6 juillet 2021 22:52 À : [email protected] <[email protected]> Objet : Re: [MSEide-MSEgui-talk] Topmost/Above for MSE window Hallo Fred van Stappen, Du schriebst am Tue, 6 Jul 2021 13:07:03 +0000: > Yes, it works fine with wine when liXbext is installed. > Should we add that dependency to enable custom shaped form for Linux? A dependency to wine? Certainly not. ________________________________ De : Sieghard <[email protected]> Envoyé : mardi 6 juillet 2021 22:52 À : [email protected] <[email protected]> Objet : Re: [MSEide-MSEgui-talk] Topmost/Above for MSE window Hallo Fred van Stappen, Du schriebst am Tue, 6 Jul 2021 13:07:03 +0000: > Yes, it works fine with wine when liXbext is installed. > Should we add that dependency to enable custom shaped form for Linux?

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.
