Shaped Form... trouble in paradise!

[Tuna]

I want to use this image as the SHAPE and IMAGE of my window but the color is causing some trouble with transparency and I can't get the drop shadow to show up. Am I reaching beyond the ability of the Shaped Form object with this?

Thank you for any help you might offer!

i don't think application windows support alpha transparency... you can make the entire window equally semitransparent but not parts of it

you could fake it with "grab desktop at start" but that might look ugly

Grab Desktop doesn't support updating, however, which is a bummer.

Ok for static windows, or splash screens, but rubbish when you try moving the window or have animated backgrounds behind.

awe man, this isn't good news at all. I know this can be done outside of MMF2.

Thanks for the info
