Thanks Uli,
but how could i impact windows? Is there a way to decorate another
applications' windows, like drawing a little frame around. or changing the
color of the shadow? Maybe there is no direct way, but i am wondering if
some low level features available? As a user of my own application, i would
appreciate when i know for sure which window is being "recorded". Or Window
server does not expose any APIs for manipulating other applications' windows
(except accessibility APIs)?
