Soft/ragged edged window

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax GUI Programming/Soft/ragged edged window

Anyway to do this in MaxGUI on Mac? Like the photoshop startup screen where the feather runs outside the rectangle.

Those type of effects are fake.

The real window is larger but skinned with an image that has alpha / mask and just are invisible there.

Should be possible by using a window with no border etc + fullsize panel with background picture.

Any Mac saavy guys have an idea how to manage it then?

Those type of effects are fake.

Are they indeed?

I wonder then how click-thru works on such a window....

Anyways, as ever, better to get an example of how it works rather than relying on hearsay... ;-)

He uses Windows-specific calls in there, so it wont work.

I hope to solve this problem. If I do, I'll share the solution.
