Sounds like you're trying to make a window that would be used as a
"select a portion of the desktop" device.
You will need to create a borderless window and do everything (resize,
titlebar, etc.) yourself. The actual window shape and opacity is
controlled by private API. In this case it's probably for the best, as
I'm having trouble understanding what you could be trying to implement
that would make sense to do with a window.
(Of course, if you're dead-set on using a window, you could always get
an image of the desktop and draw that into a custom content view, but
that will be a bit slow.)
