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

["Emil Crumhorn" <crumhorn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure if you can emulate it with the graphics package. It might be 
doable, but it sounds like a lot of work, and on windows that stuff is 
partially transparent, which sounds like an even harder issue. If you really 
really need it now, then I'd say give it a shot. Otherwise I'd say wait 
until it's implemented.
