IIRC among the examples there is one that creates shaped window. It
should be the one called 'wheelbarrow'. Have a look there.
However I am not sure it's a good idea to use this. It might be,
depending on what you are doing, but a standard look and feel is usualy
more usable. Also note, that the window decoration is under control of
window manager, NOT the application.
Having been a Windows programmer for many years, this post intrigues
me. Is there no support for the concept of "owner drawn" controls and
windows under linux?
*ALL* windows and controls are drawn by the owner in X. The X server
only provides drawing. I was talking about the *decoration*.
"Decoration" means the frame around most windows, that usualy contains
things like maximize and close buttons. That is drawn by a separate
application called "window manager" and that application will draw
rectangular frames even if the window itself will be shaped.
