Currently, the child_window example fills the child windows with the same color as the parent window, so the creation and presence of a child window is only perceptible through the terminal messages. In addition to that, all child windows are placed on top of one another.
What I did was change the fill_window function defined in examples/util/fill.rs so that it accepts a color argument, then I had to copy the color that was hardcoded and put it as argument on all calls to fill_window on the other examples. I originally wanted use transparency on the parent window instead, changing the alpha channel of the color on fill_window and adding the transparency attribute to the parent window but, while it worked for me, there's an open issue in transparency (#2502) so I decided it may not be a good idea
After that I added a child_counter to spawn_child_window of the child_window example and use it to calculate a position for the new child_window on a 5 column grid. Also changed the child window size from 200x200 to 128x96 so that a 5x5 grid gets formed if the initial size of the parent window is kept.
