Yep, as the README alludes to, I don't yet have the ability to do the necessary 'widgets' for that task i.e. the 'hometools' app uses 'glade', which (somehow) allows the creation of a normal (non-transparent) 'window', onto which fancier widgets can be used. My apps do not use glade, and my efforts to create such a window manually were not successful...
