Suitable for a Demo App ? Popup window with transparency

Let me guess: Is GTK the underlying graphics system ?

I’m just a bit MSW-centric, so I added ( back !) a check for GTK
graphics in the attached code.

Yes, all Linux wx versions are GTK based. I tried your new version, and It works the same on Linux as the previous one, that is, no transparency. I’m not surprised that it is difficult to get something like this to work cross-platform. But it is very nice on Windows.

Hi Ray,

Nice !
Instead of wx.Exit(), you should use self.Close() or self.Destroy().
With wx.Exit(), the image remains on the screen (on my machine: with
XP, python2.5 and wxPython 2.8.10.1)

Hi Ray,

XP Pro SP3 32 bits with an old AMD Athlon 64 3200+ processor.

How about an AMD version ?

Hi again,

Your processor is new enough in that it can run the 64-bit version of
Python:
     "Python 2.6.5 Windows X86-64 installer (Windows AMD64 / Intel 64 /
X86-64 binary)"

as opposed to the generic Intel/AMD 32-bit version:
     "Python 2.6.5 Windows installer"

Are you using the 64-bit version ?

He said he's running 32-bit XP so the answer is surely no.

Hi Robin and Ray,

Robin is right.
I am running a 32 bit XP.
