+<title>Overview</title>
+
+<para>This extension provides arbitrary window and border shapes within
+the X11 protocol.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The restriction of rectangular windows within the X protocol is a significant
+limitation in the implementation of many styles of user interface. For
+example, many transient windows would like to display a
+&ldquo;drop shadow&rdquo; to give the illusion of 3 dimensions. As
+another example, some user interface style guides call for buttons with
+rounded corners; the full simulation of a nonrectangular shape,
+particularly with respect to event distribution and cursor shape, is not
+possible within the core X protocol. As a final example, round clocks
+and nonrectangular icons are desirable visual addition to the desktop.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+This extension provides mechanisms for changing the visible shape of a
+window to an arbitrary, possibly disjoint, nonrectangular form. The intent
+of the extension is to supplement the existing semantics, not replace them.
+In particular, it is desirable for clients that are unaware of the
+extension to still be able to cope reasonably with shaped windows. For
+example, window managers should still be able to negotiate screen
+real estate in rectangular pieces. Toward this end, any shape specified for
+a window is clipped by the bounding rectangle for the window as specified by
+the window's geometry in the core protocol. An expected convention would be
+that client programs expand their shape to fill the area offered by the
+window manager.
+</para>
+</chapter>
+
+<chapter id='description'>
+<title>Description</title>
+
+<para>
+Each window (even with no shapes specified) is defined by two regions: the
+<emphasis remap='I'>bounding region</emphasis> and the
+<emphasis remap='I'>clip region</emphasis>. The bounding region is the
+area of the parent window that the window will occupy (including border).
+The clip region is the subset of the bounding region that is available for
+subwindows and graphics. The area between the bounding region and the
+clip region is defined to be the border of the window.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+A nonshaped window will have a bounding region that is a rectangle spanning
+the window, including its border; the clip region will be a rectangle
+filling the inside dimensions (not including the border). In this document,
+these areas are referred to as the
+<emphasis remap='I'>default bounding region</emphasis> and the
+<emphasis remap='I'>default clip region</emphasis>. For a window with
+inside size of <emphasis remap='I'>width</emphasis> by
+<emphasis remap='I'>height</emphasis> and border width
+<emphasis remap='I'>bwidth</emphasis>, the default bounding and clip
+regions are the rectangles (relative to the window origin):
+</para>
+
+<literallayout remap='Ds'>
+bounding.x = -<emphasis remap='I'>bwidth</emphasis>
+bounding.y = -<emphasis remap='I'>bwidth</emphasis>
+bounding.width = <emphasis remap='I'>width</emphasis> + 2 * <emphasis remap='I'>bwidth</emphasis>
+bounding.height = <emphasis remap='I'>height</emphasis> + 2 * <emphasis remap='I'>bwidth</emphasis>
+
+clip.x = 0
+clip.y = 0
+clip.width = <emphasis remap='I'>width</emphasis>
+clip.height = <emphasis remap='I'>height</emphasis>
+</literallayout>
+
+<para>
+This extension allows a client to modify either or both of the bounding or
+clip regions by specifying new regions that combine with the default
+regions. These new regions are called the
+<emphasis remap='I'>client bounding region</emphasis> and the
+<emphasis remap='I'>client clip region</emphasis>. They are specified
+relative to the origin of the window and are always defined by offsets
+relative to the window origin (that is, region adjustments are not
+required when the window is moved). Three mechanisms for specifying
+regions are provided: a list of rectangles, a bitmap, and an existing
+bounding or clip region from a window. This is modeled on the specification
+of regions in graphics contexts in the core protocol and allows a variety
+of different uses of the extension.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+When using an existing window shape as an operand in specifying a new shape,
+the client region is used, unless none has been set, in which case the
+default region is used instead.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The <emphasis remap='I'>effective bounding region</emphasis> of a window is
+defined to be the intersection of the client bounding region with the default
+bounding region. Any portion of the client bounding region that is not
+included in the default bounding region will not be included in the
+effective bounding region on the screen. This means that window managers
+(or other geometry managers) used to dealing with rectangular client windows
+will be able to constrain the client to a rectangular area of the screen.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Construction of the effective bounding region is dynamic; the client bounding
+region is not mutated to obtain the effective bounding region. If a client
+bounding region is specified that extends beyond the current default bounding
+region, and the window is later enlarged, the effective bounding region will
+be enlarged to include more of the client bounding region.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The <emphasis remap='I'>effective clip region</emphasis> of a window is
+defined to be the intersection of the client clip region with both the
+default clip region and the client bounding region. Any portion of the
+client clip region that is not included in both the default clip region
+and the client bounding region will not be included in the effective clip
+region on the screen.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Construction of the effective clip region is dynamic; the client clip region is
+not mutated to obtain the effective clip region. If a client clip region is
+specified that extends beyond the current default clip region and the
+window or its bounding region is later enlarged, the effective clip region will
+be enlarged to include more of the client clip region if it is included in
+the effective bounding region.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The border of a window is defined to be the difference between the effective
+bounding region and the effective clip region. If this region is empty, no
+border is displayed. If this region is nonempty, the border is filled
+using the border-tile or border-pixel of the window as specified in the core
+protocol. Note that a window with a nonzero border width will never be able
+to draw beyond the default clip region of the window. Also note that a zero
+border width does not prevent a window from having a border, since the clip
+shape can still be made smaller than the bounding shape.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+All output to the window and visible regions of any subwindows will be
+clipped to the effective clip region. The server must not retain window
+contents beyond the effective bounding region with backing store. The window's
+origin (for graphics operations, background tiling, and subwindow placement)
+is not affected by the existence of a bounding region or clip region.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Areas that are inside the default bounding region but outside the effective
+bounding region are not part of the window; these areas of the screen will
+be occupied by other windows. Input events that occur within the default
+bounding region but outside the effective bounding region will be delivered as
+if the window was not occluding the event position. Events that occur in
+a nonrectangular border of a window will be delivered to that window, just
+as for events that occur in a normal rectangular border.
+</para>
+
+<para>An
+<function>InputOnly</function>
+window can have its bounding region set, but it is a
+<function>Match</function>
+error to attempt to set a clip region on an
+<function>InputOnly</function>
+window or to specify its clip region as a source to a request
+in this extension.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The server must accept changes to the clip region of a root window, but
+the server is permitted to ignore requested changes to the bounding region
+of a root window. If the server accepts bounding region changes, the contents
+of the screen outside the bounding region are implementation dependent.
