Didn't find that - is it one of the examples?

In the examples, I did find the thing with the transparent clock and the 
other clock example. But those seem to have to do with transparency 
rather than with just a window without gadgets.

Though I tried to do the same and failed - I don't know why my windows 
always have gadgets, even when I say "Border - None", and I cannot make 
out any other difference between my own programs and the examples 
(except the drawing routines). The examples run flawlessly here, my own 
programs always show standard windows.

So, where's the trick?

Rolf
