[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Fancy: Emulation of ghosted drag image i

[bmunivrana@xxxxxx (Boris Munivrana)]

Hi Emil,

thanks for the hint. So you too don't believe emulating this feature with 
org.eclipse.swt.graphics (in the meantime...)is possible, since the api 
as-is won't let you overcome the problem of drawing on more than one 
background component or better to say, drawing on the os shell itself, or 
is it me again?

Regards,

Boris
