Hello everybody!
I just want to make window transparent. ;) At this moment I've found
only ideas of taking screenshots to make background... Anything else?
Thanks for help!

You are looking for "alpha" surfaces. In a full RGBA
surface, the "A" or "alpha" represents the degree of
transparency of the surface for each pixel. There is also
such a thing as a per-surface alpha, etc.
The documentation can be had from the PyGame website at http://www.pygame.org. You will also find a link to a
PyGame-specific mailing list, which is really the best place
to ask about this sort of thing.

That alone won't help. First of all, the alpha only is applied to the
contents of the pygame window - so you need to capture the background
behind that first and put it in the window as background. But if that
background changes, you won't be notified.
But that still won't rid you of the window decorations...
I guess one could do that with OS-specific calls to window-handles or
the like (and in PyObjc its a no-brainer, as the Mac windowing-system
supports that natively)
But in pygame, there is no API for that.

I am trying ( so far in vain ) to display a normal looking ( non-transparent ) control in a transparent window. I am attempting this in C++, on Vista ( argh ), and having no luck at all. Our transparent window has been accomplished with the infamous "DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea()" call, which of course implies that "composition" is enabled.
If someone can tell me how to simply render an icon or bitmap so that it is not see-through, I would...

I've got a system where I try to install extensions using
/usr/local/bin/python setup.py install
But, it fails when it tries to use a non-existant compiler path
and specs file. I suspect it's trying to use the compieler
that was used to build /usr/bin/python.
How do I get it to use the compiler settings that were used for
/usr/local/bin/python?
