GTK and Motif can not support transparent shells, therefore it is not
supported in SWT. You can however have non-rectangular shells for any shape
(see Shell.setRegion()). You could, for example, have a non-rectangular
shell that only has every other pixel.

//define a region
Region region = new Region();
Rectangle pixel = new Rectangle(0, 0, 2, 2);
for (int y = 0; y < 200; y+=4) {
for (int x = 0; x < 200; x+=4) {
pixel.x = x;
pixel.y = y;
region.add(pixel);
}
}
shell.setRegion(region);
