        Now, about window_look values:
1) kPrivateDesktopWindowLook = 4
        I don't get this one. what wrong with B_NO_BORDER_WINDOW_LOOK?


I must always be behind all other windows. 

    Yes, and for that, window_feel(1024) is enough.
        B_NO_BORDER_WINDOW_LOOK will work just fine instead of (4).

Also, I guess it's view color has influence on some other functions.


        And finally, special flags:
1) B_WORKSPACES_WINDOW (0x8000)
        Can anyone explain the use of this flag? Why is it needed?


When you use this flag on a window, it gets the workspaces window. Ie. that functionality is completely realized inside the app_server; it takes over the window in this case almost completely. 

    Yup, I was just about to ask about this after I had a look at 
Workspaces.cpp
        Interesting trick. :-)

bye,
Adi.
