    I want to create a special kind of status window. A transparent window just floating somewhere on the desktop, and I want all mouseclicks to somehow be directed to the window below. In my case I only want the X in the corner to be possible to click. I know this is possible, but I can't figure it out myself. This is taken from the feature list of another app: "Transparent - You can make the desktop preview windows transparent in the form of click-through-able. This means that when you click on a desktop preview window, you're not actually clicking on the desktop preview window, but on the window under it. The only place you can click the preview window is on the header." Sprudling :~

      Seems like returning HTTRANSPARENT to the WM_NCHITTEST message would do the trick (haven't tried myself). Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo
