Thanks for the reply, but I need for this to work in a cross platform way.  Windows+OS X+Linux

I know opening a window like you describe is possible in Windows. We
used to do this in a framework written in VisualAge, but I cannot
remember the details of the Windows API call made.

You might want to look at my package "Epigent Application Window
Styles": http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/userblogs/runarj/blogView?showComments=true&entry=3308039622

The package adds support for setting special application windows
styles in Windows. This includes for example the window's
transparency, its icons
and allowed operations. Looking at the code, you might be able to add
support for what you want.
