Rounded SFML window
« on: March 17, 2019, 01:52:00 pm »
Hello!

I am quite new to SFML and I am trying to render a window where the edges are rounded. When displaying a window that has its style set to none, the edges gets edgy. Is there any way to fix this without having the window style containing a titlebar?

Thanks in advance.

SFML doesn't support transparent or special shaped windows.

You could take a look at Texus' Transparent Window class: https://github.com/texus/TransparentWindows

I have done some work on this and just for having something to apply it too I created my first Pong, here's a screenshot:



The repo is https://github.com/degski/pong (the above image is resized there)

It depends on https://github.com/degski/Sax (just C++-stuff), and the bit where the transparent/rounded (any shape really) Window related stuff gets done https://github.com/degski/SFML-Extensions (notably: https://github.com/degski/SFML-Extensions/blob/master/sfml-extensions/Extensions.cpp as from line 98).

Needless to say that this kind of manip is Windows only.
