Displays as Backdrop Windows (always behind)

Post by NathanH »

Hi,

I've written several programs which would benefit if their display could always be behind other windows on the Workbench; i.e., backdrop windows. For example, I've got a calendar/analog clock which pretends to be transparent by placing a grab of the desktop as the background. The illusion of transparency is ruined when other windows are placed behind it. I've also written a couple of dock programs that should be backdrop windows. Is this possible? Thanks,

Not very likely to come because background windows are very Amiga-centric and not available on other platforms.
