CHANGELOG.md
if knowledge of this change could be valuable to usersThis adds the ability to make a window with the style WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW. This is the missing piece to be able to create borderless/transparent desktop overlay windows with winit that don't show up in the taskbar, don't animate on open/close, etc.
You can build a cross-platform window in this style like the following (I don't target Wayland so I don't have a Wayland example):
(Anyone drawing a transparent window over the whole screen probably also cares about
window.set_cursor_hittest(false)
so they can click through it, which is why I just PR'd support for that on X11)
