Something like: http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qt-widgets-shap ... ample.html

Thanks

On some window systems

xeyes ? Maybe something close? but cant think of much else.

So I just wanted to check it since I havent in a while. And I pulled up xeyes in my package manager and found
I searched "linux shape extension" on google and found this: https://linux.die.net/man/3/xshape

You may take a look into the second code example of this posting which displays a similar clock in a transparent window. But before running the example you have to set the subsystem to "gtk2" because lots of internal changes between GTK+ 2 and 3 make the example code incompatible with the default GTK+ 3 subsystem...
