Windows in and around showers and tubs are always a bad design. Few
ever go more than a dozen years without structural problems like rot
and mold cropping up. Your best recourse is to get a comprehensive
design and plan and not attempt a hack job on a piece of plumbing you
found in a box store. Besides a professional architect (probably your
best and eventually cheapest choice) there are design programs
available at bath specialty stores to get everything coordinated. You
need a lot more help than you can find in a newsgroup, but that
shouldn't discourage you from doing the project. God luck.
