However, two problems have come into play with Mac OSX in that: 1) all windows cast live shadows on the desktop, making hidden application windows pretty much impossible; and 2) the live dragging of windows requires that you must A) capture the entire desktop at startup to use a backdrop for your window in case it is dragged, and B) quickly update the position of captured image as you drag the window around the desktop. The result is somewhat believable but pretty jerky. What is really needed here is a flexible WDEF system that works with OSX. I've done some testing with Odo (a custom WDEF for Mac systems) which seems to indicate that it no longer works under OSX, which is not surprising given it was written almost 8 years ago. But this type of control is something Mac developers will need to create any custom window shapes. Anyone out there OSX savvy enough to write this?
