Hi,
I'm writing a simple desktop applet and considering the size of the device's screen and hence space, I've created an applet to display just the contents it is meant to display. So, now, as the control buttons are important to make it usable I'm thinking of implementing the buttons like in the media player which pops up on top of the media when touched and in my case I want those controls to disappear when not used for certain time period. But, I've no idea as to how I can implement such or more importantly if it's even, at all, possible due to all sort of restrictions in the desktop applets. I'm wondering if it's going to be a transparent window on top of the applet with those controls or something else. I would be very thankful if anyone could light me up on this one. Thanks.
