I see in wine-1.1.5's announcement that we now have partial support for "Layered Windows", http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms997507.aspx Which apps use this?
Seems that it used to make screen captures hard, so one way to find them is to look for apps that say you have to turn on "Capture Alpha-Blending" on in UltraVNC to see them remotely. Candidates include: Visual Studio - tooltips Microsoft Office - Clippy Possibly photoshop cs3
Another way is to look for apps that recommend the Vista Layered Windows Performance hotfix or Vista SP1. Candidates include: Yahoo Messenger for Windows Vista
Another way is to look for apps that make Wine output fixme:xrender:X11DRV_AlphaBlend Ignoring SourceConstantAlpha ... Candidates include: Miranda IM http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11902 MSN Messenger http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8555 Skype http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12334
I'm getting the feeling it's widespread. Anyone else know of examples of apps that Wine displays poorly because of the lack of this feature? - Dan
