OK, so do you mean "makes sense because the Windowing System
can support it", or that the function "makes sense as a general thingee you
might want to do". Specifically, I have no idea if GTK supports
this. Nor Motif. I've asked QSSL at one time and they said it wasn't
currently supported (I can't remember if they said it would be; asked on one of
their ng's).
Does it make sense as a general purpose thinga-ma-bob? I
think obviously yes.
What I'd be willing to do is a win32 version, and suggest the
rest be left as no-op stubs (as opposed to throwing a not implemented yet sort
of exception).
But obviously this is not nice; it would be better if I did my
homework and figured out if it was possible to even do this on other
platforms. Which will take me some time. Which I don't have
:-). Irregardless, say I find out that this functionality is only workable
on Win32 and Mac. Could it still be added to SWT?

adding new function to SWT: transparent regions
Understood. I was just trying
to indicate that he needed to make sure that any API he was proposing made
sense across the various platforms. Implementations of that API can come
later.

Would be no problem on the Mac (but there are probably more
important things for me to do
:-)
