I'm trying to figure out how to move a floating window with no header, without making boxes but by grabbing an element inside the floating window... Is it possible ? Thanks !

custom solutions are pretty difficult to implement, but i´ve recently learned that [panel] can do that since max 8.

Thanks Roman ! Nice to hear that's possible ! Do you have a lead I can follow please ?

last entry in the inspector "drag window".

then make foreground and background color both transparent ("opacity" slider in that chaotic color thing in the inspector) and move the panel wherever you wish.

I tried it already but the "drag window" attribute is greyed... I succeed enable it by entering directly "panel @drag_window 1" in a new object, but it's not working when i lock the patch...

I found something working here but it's a bit more complicated and it involves jit.window

eventually it doesnt work in max4live. i am already suprised that panel style windows work...

yeah, jit.pwindow, lcd and picturecontrol are the starting points for custom solutions, and jit.window or a gl window could be used to make a whole GUI.

no doubt that it would be total overkill for most people/applications.

And do you know how I can change the color of a jit.pwindow with live.thisdevice or make it transparent ? :)

Ok I found it ! jit.pwindow is ARGB instead of RGBA so I just moved the alpha argument to the first place ($4 $1 $2 $3) without prefix in the message box !

... but i am not sure. lcd´s mousing once didnt in pluggo.

it might also work in the background :)
