I'm curious, for the masking of the AMS windows are you guys/gals using SetWindowRgn?

TIA

Yes, that is how it is done. (Ignore the man behind the curtain!)

How do they do those alpha blended window shapes I've seen on some programs?

There are generally two ways it's done: either capture what's behind the window and blend that into a custom alpha draw, or use the Windows layering API that exists on XP and above.

The first method doesn't always work very well, the second method doesn't exist on 9x.
