Hello, As part of the requirements for implementing the System.Windows.Forms.Design.Behavior (for the winforms designer GSoC) namespace I will have to implement a Control with a transparent background to act as a transparent layer on top of the design surface. Some custom drawing will take place in the foreground.
While this works on win32 with the use of the WS_EX_TRANSPARENT [1] CreateParam, this is not supported by the X11 backend. I had a bug filed [2] a few months ago, but I do understand implementing support for transparency is not in the list of high priority items. Is there a way to P/Invoke into something from the X libraries in order to achieve the effect of WS_EX_TRANSPARENT on X? A small example will be very appreciated as I don't have any experience in X programming. Regards.
