[comp.windows.x] Overlay windows for X11?

kwh@sei.cmu.edu (Kurt Hoyt) (08/27/87)

Is there such a thing as an overlay window available in X11?

What I want is a window with a transparent background and an opaque
foreground in order to overlay graphics on static backgrounds (which would
be underneath the overlay in its own window).
