Title: create a window hidden
Post by: am!go on April 12, 2010, 04:11:55 pm

Hi,
Is there a way how to create a window hidden by default? The usual way is to create a window, set up it's position and other stuff and than make it visible to avoid the window to blink before you change it's position, which looks really lame.

Thank you.

Hi

There is no way to create the window hidden. But have you tried first? Does it look really lame? ;)

I tried it right now and the flick is truly visible and looks bad :wink:

That's right, but it shouldn't be difficult to implement this feature since both XLib and Winapi can do this, it's actually theirs default behavior as far as I remember.
