Yes, override-redirect windows are also faded in and out - otherwise, fade-in effects for e.g. menus and tooltips (also override-redirect windows according to the GTK+ API reference) wouldn't be possible. You can try the following pygtk code snippet with compiz, the window will still fade in: import gtk win = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_POPUP) win.set_default_size(100, 100) win.move(60,100) win.realize() win.window.set_override_redirect(True) win.show_all() gtk.main() Cheers, Denis _______________________________________________ wm-spec-list mailing list wm-spec-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/wm-spec-list
