Hi Timothy,
As you probably remember, I am using JNA WindowUtils for my
NativeSwing framework.
It is heavily used to allow mixing lightweight and heavyweight
components, by setting the mask of covered areas.
I noticed that big components can take up to 200ms to apply the mask,
and that it also creates images everytime I do that (which can consume
a lot of memory). Some applications have several components, with each
one applying masks, so this really becomes a bottleneck in terms of
memory and speed.
Since I only use rectangular areas, I added a method to pass the
rectangles directly: this reduces the time to apply the mask to
0-15ms. I did the change for win32 and X11, the default implementation
creating a Shape and falling back on the Shape-based algorithm.
I must be missing something. You're masking a rectangular area (the
native window) with a rectangle? Why not just change the size of the
native window?
I enclose my version in case you feel it is an intersting addition.
Cheers,
