SDL_SetWindowShape is now returning 0 (success) but I'm not seeing a window at all when the program runs. It's entirely invisible. Things I've tried: -PNG and BMP -Alpha channel + 32-bit images -2-bit images (black and white) -SDL_SetColorKey on surface -Different settings for SDL_WindowShapeMode and SDL_WindowShapeParams SDL_SetWindowShape always returns 0 but the window is invisible. If I take out the word "Shaped" in SDL_CreateShapedWindow and ignore the SDL_SetWindowShape failure the window appears fine (but not shaped, of course). Here's my code: http://pastebin.com/H52S1stC Any ideas?

I've also pored over this example: https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/file/f0645cd8fd39/test/testshape.c I've got a black and white image as my shape surface, with a black circle in the middle filled in. I've tried saving it as PNG and BMP and I've primarily focused on using ColorKey as opposed to alpha channels. I set the color key to black and I also tried white.
