I am learning Wayland client programming and now I'm trying to make transparent surface.
I created a buffer and paint each pixels to shared memory. I am using WL_SHM_FORMAT_ARGB8888 format but it is not working as I expected.
As I understand, 0x00ff0000 means 255 red, 0 green, 0 blue and 0 alpha so the pixel should not shown. But it shows semi-transparent red surface to me.
Below is entire source code working on Weston compositor.

But when I set pixel to 0x00000000, then it is fully transparent.
And in some tests, subsurfaces are completely transparent even there are color bits set. I want to know what is prevent the transparent toplevel surface with color bits.
