[edit] Summary

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.
