Thread: Creating Callout shape window

Hi,

I would like to create a window that will open as a callout shape.
Meaning – usually, a window is in a square shaped.
I would like to open it in a tooltip (or callout) shape.
I do not mean a tooltip that will open over an HTML page but a window that will be opened as the shape of a tooltip.

Is it possible?

Thanks!

Please be forthright about cross posting.

Well, you are misinterpreting the window with callout shape.
Why do you need to have a window in that shape?
Should it be a window?

I don’t want it to be opened over an application.
I want to open it over the desktop and that it will point an icon/s which seats on the desktop.
Do you have an alternative that will do so which is not a window? I’ll be glad to hear.
Anyway, I’ll be glad also to receive solution which will create a window shaped like a tooltip/callout.

Thanks

Not a window but an image or whatever you say. Even many look and feels don't support such shapes(as far as i know)
