I like to think if it as a superset, actually ;-)

There's quite a few, really. It really comes down to the fact that a 
core feature (like window transparency) simply can't be supported by wx 
if all the platforms don't support it.

So I'm curious -- could you do what you want with FloatCanvas? A little 
more description of what you want would help.
