Amalgam is a REALbasic plugin that defines a Drawable class which can be used to draw outside a windows area, and therefore allows custom drawing and definition of a drawer window. It can be used to overlay windows, and to animate windows.To appreciate this plugin you will need REALbasic 2006 or later, MacOS X 10.3.9 or later or Windows NT/2000/XP. In addition the PNG Utilities Plugin from Frank Condello or the GraphicsFormats plugin from Bjorn Eiriksson are recommended to obtain best results.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.3:

- [adjustments] :The new api's of the drawablemodule have been modified. You optionally can assign an effect parameteras one of the options.
- [adjustments]: Like the Show, hide, move and size methods defined in DrawableModule, similar api's for the drawable class have been defined.
- [new]: Added constants to the DrawableModule.
- [new]: Added MoveSizeEnter and MoveSizeExit events to the Drawable class. This will allow only a forced update (if you want to) after a more...resizing is completed, then during sizing.
