So I'm looking at OS X's increasingly popular transparent panels as described in:
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/AppleHIGuidelines/XHIGWindows/chapter_18_section_6.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000961-TPXREF17>

And I'm thinking, man, I would love to have rounded corners on resizable palettes.

Then it hits me: could there be some way to layer graphics with different blendLevels and different ink effects so that I could define the visible window region with one graphic and have everything outside of it transparent with another graphic?

So I started to play with various combinations, and the multiplicity of possible options made my head explode.

Anyone know a way to do this?
Am I dreaming?

Sure, I know the corners would still not pass clicks through, but I'm okay with those few pixels if I could at least get the look right.

Even more interesting, if such a magic combo could be found we could effectively punch visual holes in our windows, making resizable frames around anything underneath.

Should I just make a request to use graphics as window shapes and move on?
