Hello Marc,<br><br>Thank you for the reply. I looked at that webpage but am still having trouble with making a widget (partially) transparent.<br><br>I even went back and looked at Khertan's widgets for Maemo 4 and tried to translate it over to Maemo 5. Everything went smoothly until I tried self.show_all() on the hildondesktop.HomePluginItem and it crashed Hildon Desktop. I tried applying the show_all() directly to the widget (in this case, a gtk.Label), but the cairo drawing doesn't work when I do that...<br>
<br>So, I have written a small example showing the problem (attached). Hopefully someone with a lot more knowledge than myself will see it and know what is wrong. If not, I will probably file a Documentation bug with PyMaemo because there appears to be no documentation on how to do this (in fact, there appears to be little python documentation concerning the hildondesktop module, at all).<br>

Merali which explains how to do it:<br>
