The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution:

*** XtoW-20160323-1

xtow is a window manager using the libxcwm library, which is:

* native: it integrates with native window management by putting each top-level X window in it's own Windows window (similar to XWin -multiwindow)

* compositing: X windows with per-pixel alpha are composited into the native DWM desktop on Windows Vista and later (e.g. a native window can be seen through a semi-transparent X window placed over it)

XtoW is still experimental, but should now be usable enough for doing some actual work. Testing and problem reports are appreciated.

I've removed this package, as this experiment has long since run its course.

The useful part of this is now built into the XWin server, so you can get the same effect by using the -multiwindow and -compositealpha options.
