You can do this in one call with the Render extension -- create a 1 bit mask that has 0 where the image is and then use XRenderComposite with that as the alpha channel. As the alpha mask is a separate drawable, you can adjust the location of the object by changing where the zero bits are in that mask. No need for subwindows; just a simple mask. > Keith, even if you aren't going to release your hacked version of twm, > can you tell the eager masses what the trick was to make those root-menu > windows in your twm screenshot be translucent? To make this work reasonably is requiring significant restructuring of the insides of the X server. I'm still busy getting the Render extension deployed so the other X server hacks are kinda on the back burner.
