Not that I'm complaining....but,
Instead of just masking away part of the window to make it transparent, wouldn't
it be better to be able to apply a spline curve to the axes of window components and simply *BEND* the components to the desired shape?
Masking is a nice quick and dirty eye candy thing but,
personally, I'd like to make my scroll bars wavy, my windows
round like portholes, and then map textures to the components **WITHOUT** having to skin a whole bunch
of bitmaps over a fudge-work of mouse events.
Window masking and transparency are kind of standard fare....aren't they.
Maybe I'm too critical. I'm sure this took a great deal of work to accomplish. It's a very nice addition to the available tools.
