How can I create a transparent window in flutter for windows? My main objective is to create windows of custom shapes/rounded corners.
Simply I want to create UI like this:

How can I do that in flutter for windows?
For the transparent part of your question I can recommend bitsdojo_window it has support for windows, linux and macos. Also you could just modify the windows embedding if that plugin does not fits your needs.
Now for the customs shape part 😅 IDK of any such plugin, so you'll probably will have to modify the windows embedding(the folder that flutter creates, using c++), or create a plugin for it.
Once again if you go down that road the bitsdojo_window plugin is a great place to start looking at sample code that might point you to the right path of implementing it.

The question breaks down into two:
Is it even possible to create a Windows app with an opaque (not fully transparent) background that can be overlayed on top of other sources in OBS? Any examples of such apps?
What I mean is:
If yes to (1), then what GUI frameworks (preferably C++) can be used to reach this? I know for sure that WinUI and WPF can't do it.
Dear GUI, Sciter, Cegui?
I am looking for a way to reproduce this behaviour from the Windows drag&drop file system :
The cursor isn't visible with the default screencap feature of Windows, but of course it's on the right side file.
I'm looking to reproduce this right side image following the cursor in a program and setting the image myself. Having it be removed automatically on MOUSE_UP would be a big plus.
I'd like to use the Windows API directly so this process could work in the same way across languages, but if anyone has a better way I'm perfectly willing to hear it, of course.
Thanks.
Several iLife '11 applications on the Mac use iOS-style black toolbars. For instance, the toolbar at the bottom of this screenshot of iPhoto:
(source: pocket-lint.com)
This sort of look is available in the iOS SDK as "UITabBar."
I am wondering if there is an easy way to achieve this in my ordinary, non-iOS Mac application. If not, what would be the best way to go about creating this effect?
There's nothing that will give you this view out of the box. You'll need to build it yourself.
The simplest method would be to create a custom view with a gradient background and place monochrome buttons in it.
Better would be to create a set of classes similar to NSToolBar that handle positioning, highlighting etc. Even better, build it and then open-source it :-)
However, you'll have to build it yourself. Apart from NSButton there's not much that will help in the pre-existing objects.
I have a project that I am attempting to do and we want something similar to what the Apple store does. We thought it was a Quartz Composer interactive desktop but I've been putting together an xcode cocoa solution to do it too.
Here is an image of what I'm wondering about it is just a Title and 3 images that link out to url locations. If anyone can point me in the direction they believe can make something like this I would appreciate it.
I have used Quartz Desktop to display a .qtz but it isn't interactive. If anyone knows of another quartz desktop displaying .app that does use the interactive parts such as mouse and keyboard, it would be appreciated.

It's a custom proprietary program called, if I remember correctly, Concierge. But it's not doing anything tricky. You can make any NSWindow appear on the desktop by setting its window level to kCGDesktopWindowLevel.
I want to build a desktop app where the size of both the window and the content is resized automaticly according to the resolution of the monitor. I know it can be done easily with the docking features of .NET Forms, but my customer insists on going with Linux so I can't use it.
I tried Flex & Air, but the content is not resized automaticaly when I put the app in fullscreen or in another resolution (the app goes full screen but I still have tiny buttons). Now, I am looking at Qt and Gtk...
Is there a GUI framework that can do that? I don't care about the programming language.
Also, since the app will go in a bar it would be nice to be able to customize easily the skin. (like in Flex, WPF, etc.)

An excellent place to start is understanding how the Screen class works: MSDN Even though that is .Net, it will give you an idea of how the screen size, dpi, etc. can be obtained. In addition that information should translate to the Mono platform. Since your client is insisting on Linux, you should look at MonoDevelop and then possibly the GTK# framework. My understanding is that GTK# is not a very friendly (that is pretty) development system (yet).
