GTK is not the toolkit to use if transparency and so forth is critical to what you want to do. Keep in mind, though, that transparency has only recently been part of the "conceptual toolkit" for GUIs, and its perfectly possible to design highly functional, deeply usable interfaces without it. --p _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
