You can even click desktop icons through a hole in a window
should work on panels and other components too!

usage example

Import "see-thru.bmx"

Local mask:TPixmap=LoadPixmap("hole.bmp")
Local window:Tgadget=CreateWindow("a hole",0,0,128,128)

MakeSeeThru(window,mask)

While WaitEvent()
	Select EventID()
		Case EVENT_WINDOWCLOSE
			End
	EndSelect
Wend

Enjoy!
