# To subscribers of the xforms list from Richard LaBarca <rlabarca@andrew.cmu.edu> :

Hi all-

I'm trying to make non-rectangular windows in X - not just round ones
either, but some very arbitrary shapes. The only thing I've
found so far that allows this is the SHAPE extension to X11. So I
have several questions:

1. Does XForms make use of the SHAPE extension in some way?
2. If so, how do I go about using it?
2. If not, is there another way to do non-rectangular windows?
3. How well is the SHAPE extension supported? Does it work on SGI's?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance
-Rich LaBarca
