Right you can see what it should look like, left you see my current result.
Maybe anyone has a tip for me?

code:
    <Window Id="wndSomeWindow" Version="1">
        <Position Width="213" Height="145"/>
        <TitleBar>
            <AllowMinimize>false</AllowMinimize>
            <AllowClose>false</AllowClose>
        </TitleBar>
        <WindowTmpl>
            <Borders Type="None"/>
            <BackgroundColor>
                <Red>255</Red>
                <Green>0</Green>
                <Blue>255</Blue>
                <Alpha>255</Alpha>
            </BackgroundColor>
        </WindowTmpl>
    </Window>
Thanks in advance,

I've tried to do things like that but it doesn't seem possible as child wnds inherit transparancy from the parent and can't obviously appear less transparent than that. Only option I think would be to change the rect to a custom one and apply it somehow

Well basically I just wanted to illustrate that I'd simply and only like to create a Plus window with totally transparent background - not more, not less. The question is therefore: is it possible to get a transparent-backgrounded plus window?
