At which point Main.uiGroup.add_actor(actor) actor.lower(actor, global.background_actor) would work as well. If on the other hand you want events it becomes a lot trickier, because you need another X11 window, below those owned by the application (the normal X11 window used by the shell is above everything, covers everything and uses XShape to let events through). You could do it by creating a new GdkWindow with the OverrideRedirect bit, then extracting the XID and passing it to ClutterX11.set_stage_foreign(). But it would be a different ClutterStage, so you would not really blend with the rest of the shell (events wouldn't bubble, for instance), at which point is really better to use a separate GTK application. > - > > 2011/5/8 Erick Pérez <erick red gmail com> > Hi: > > I've been trying to add an actor to gnome through a extension > but I > want that to be in the desktop level, so any window could hide > it, and > I only look a it, when there's no window over it, > > How can I do that ? > > Erick > > Thxs > > -- > El derecho de expresar nuestros pensamientos tiene algún > significado > tan sólo si somos capaces de tener pensamientos propios. > El miedo a la libertad, Erich Fromm > _______________________________________________ > gnome-shell-list mailing list > gnome-shell-list gnome org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list > > _______________________________________________ > gnome-shell-list mailing list > gnome-shell-list gnome org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
