Description

A window with a hole in the middle. Used to illustrate the X Window shape extension. The decorative frames etc. are generated by twm. The program that creates this window is below; it has been written by User:Tizio, who release it in the public domain. I have took the screenshot myself.

/*
 * xhole.c
 *
 * A sample application using the shape extension.
 * Creates a window with a hole in the middle. Works
 * with twm, fvwm, and mwm, but kde refuses to add
 * a title bar to it.
 * Compile with `gcc xhole.c -o xhole -lX11 -lXext'
