Hi,

The transparent parts of the flower are not marked as "click-through"
by the demo, so this is expected.

The flower does not change as a response to a click per se. The flower
changes every time the window is redrawn by the demo (this goes to show
how rarely the window needs redrawing). When window focus changes, a
message gets sent to both the old and new active windows for them to
redraw their decorations as active/inactive. Flower does not have such
decorations, but it redraws anyway.

You can also see it by pressing Mod+Tab to switch between windows.

There was a time when flower was redrawn practically never, but that
has since changed, with the migration to xdg-shell, IIRC.

I'm not sure what you mean by "autofocus".
