OK, I asked about this on IRC but it was suggested I ask on the forums.
I am currently implementing the Windows Gadget Platform (Introduced in Windows 7, basically the same as Vista's Sidebar, but gadgets are free-floating) for ReactOS.
This will require layered windows, and so I need to ask this:
How does ReactOS react when an app uses layered windows at the moment?
Does the window fail to create, or is it just treated as if it were a normal window?
The reason I ask is because I would rather not hack it to use regular windows, but if I have to I will.

Re: Layered Windows
Layered windows support is completely unimplemented. That means that you will successfully create a window, but you can't convert it to a layered window. All painting will go on th classical way as long as layered windows are unimplemented.andrewweb wrote:OK, I asked about this on IRC but it was suggested I ask on the forums.

Perhaps you can make your program test if layered windows are supported and when not, just make all windows of your program to not use any transparency

Maybe, you consider me a newbie for the question, but:
what is "layered windows" functionality?
