Has anyone found a way to cut a transparent hole in the top fill bevel of the metal window yet?
If not, does anyone know if it is likely to be possible soon?

Without actually having done it, wouldn't just putting the hole in the bevel and the mask create a hole through the window?

Or is there something about transparent areas completely surrounded by solid that I don't know about?

Can you post a pic that shows what you're trying to do?

Not sure I want to show my hand on this one just yet. =)
however...
all I want to do (in this case) is lower the top outer edge of the title bar by 3 pixels. (across the centre fill section.)
In this case, it can't be done by using extra extra long corners.

the mask does nothing at all.
if the bevel has 100% transparency there... it appears black
if there is an image there... the image appears.
I can't remove it. =/
