Hi, I'm making a SDL-like library and I'm trying to find a common feature set across Windows, OSX and Linux, and I'm missing a few pieces on the X backend that are already available on the WinAPI and Cocoa backends. None of these are show-stoppers by any means, but I would like know at least if they are possible or not:
- Can I set a transient window to be movable and resizable but not activable? This allows toolboxes that can be clicked inside without the main window having to lose focus. - Is there such thing as a "toolbox" frame? i.e. a window with a slimmer title bar? I checked gimp but it seems like it uses normal transient windows for its toolboxes. - Can I intervene programatically while moving and resizing windows? Eg. I want to implement magnetic windows a la winamp. - Can I have a window with alpha that I can click-through the 100% transparent portions of the window? I'm looking for a general solution not based on the shapes extension. Thanks, Cosmin. [PS: Thanks Peter and Thomas for the help on non-clipped child windows - WM_TRANSIENT_FOR was what I was looking for]
