This extension lets you use custom window shapes in your GameMaker projects!

Ellipses, rectangles, polygons, complex shapes - anything goes.

Good for software, virtual pets, or more novel game ideas
(e.g. BLAWK used my Desktop Screenshots extension to make a "hole" in a game window, but now you can have a real, click-through hole).

Attribution: the "desktop friend" demo uses the Animated Protagonist sprites by Penzilla.
