Hello I heard it made by ncpaint. So I tried to input some drawing source into the ncpaint event area and It drew my bitmap images on its titlebar.
but It was complex even I chose another window, it stopped drawing bitmap.
I really wonder how winamp did it.

An easier way to do it is to make the window a popup (WS_POPUP) and handle WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN and return various hit points of the window. Then you can just draw the title how you want. If you need parts of the window to be transparent, just set the window region that way.

EDIT: And WM_NCHITTEST or whatever it is.
EDIT 2: iirc

Cheers,
Aaron
