Answer 1

Hey guy.. I found the answer to my question long ago.. but today i was passing by here and I just wanna finish what I started, so I will post some links with the answer to this question:

1) check this explanation... you will learn what its needed to create a shaped window:
http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/w-d/dislog/non-rectangulardialogs/article.php/c5037/Creating-Shaped-Windows-Using-Regions-with-Win32.htm

2) then check this one, it's an improved version. much more complex but nicer:

*******************
Well, you can find the source files of both projects in there, as well as the executable file so you can run it in your pc.

thats all. cya around.

Answer 2

you answerd your own question i think you can get a badge for that😂

im glad you found the answer eventually

i think questions can be misinterpreted somtimes and answerd incorrectly and for a beginner it be very misleading.

Answer 3

C++ is not usually used to creat such shapes. for example the one on www.get-xmas.com is probably created using JavaScript

Answer 4

I refuse to believe i cant do it in C++, there must be a way...
for example i found out it can be made in Java:

I really would like to do it in c++.
