A '''window''' is an item of [[furniture]] that can be constructed to form solid walls surrounding a [[room]]. A window is not considered [[support]] for the purposes of preventing [[cave-in]]s, but it will block the flow of [[water]] and [[magma]]. [[Glass]] windows can be made with any type of glass at a [[glass furnace]], and are placed similarly to furniture. Like all furniture, windows must have a floor underneath them to be built. Alternatively, a [[gem]] window can be directly constructed from three [[jeweler's workshop|cut gems]] of any type (including cut glass). If the gems used to make a gem window are of different colors, the window will flash between the different colors of the gems. | A '''window''' is an item of [[furniture]] that can be constructed to form solid walls surrounding a [[room]].

Light from a window built into the cliff face will not illuminate a room and will not prevent cave adaptation. However, dwarves can see through windows, and will run away from hostile creatures standing on the other side of the window. |
A [[noble]] may [[demand]] a window, no matter how far underground his rooms are. A noble's [[mandate]] to make windows will not be satisfied by building a gem window. | A [[noble]] may [[demand]] a window, no matter how far underground his rooms are.
