Re: Non-rectangular (shaped) main window that has non-rectangular child windows.



Re-hello,

Many thanks for your "yes" :-)
At least I know to be on the right track when trying to make XShaped things happen.

Will start coding during this week. Have had a horrible cold and fever during the last 3 days and just starting to recover from that. It's autumn after all.

More answers are welcomed.

Hello,

I have started to learn how to create shaped, non-rectangular windows

XLib though.

controls (child windows) on it. But I cannot make it work (the child
windows ar enot visible) because I do not understand all the
intricatenesses of the XShape* functions.

Do I have to sum up the masks of childwindows and put it on the
main-window?

Yes.
