Transparent windows on Windows

Can someone point me to any docs or info on how to create those cool
tranparent window types on Windows? These are used for animated characters
in Outlook and other Microsoft products. Any thoughts on support in SDL for
this kind of thing?

You can actually already do this… see the gtk demo for an example on UNIX.

See ya!
