Hi.

I've tried to use the transparent windows, which are common since
Windows 2000. I'd like to avoid a call to java.awt.Robot to realize my
splash screen. So I've tried to realize a simple application with swt
which ships with Eclipse 3.0 M8. All the tutorials worked fine, but I
couldn't find any hint how to enable transparency.

In the german java group there was the hint that I need to wrote a DLL
on my own to enable this feature. Is it the only way? Is this feature on
the roadmap for further swt versions?

TIA,

Daniel Völkerts

Transparency is not supported natively on all platforms. For example, Motif
and the Mac don't support transparent controls (although the Mac has
transparent shells).

Yes, I know, but I thought that there is the abillity to enable
transparency on the systems which provide this feature as SWT access the
native gui widgets. Thanks for the link.
