This library has features for viewing images anywhere on the screen, no windows, no borders, no background color.
Hallo Sergio
i don't want to disappoint you, but there is no 'special' feature in my library. It's just the Windowsapi BitBlt() function. The trick with drawing the 2 pictures ('mask' with everything 'white' as transparent, and the original 'picture' with everything 'black' as transparent) is as old as Windows itself (okay, I know it's there at least since Win3.0). The handle for the Desktop Window is always '0'.
That's all.
Someone familiar with Win32lib should have the ability to do the same.(or also Arwen,w32engine etc.)
If someone is interrested, i packed the code with the last 'Snapshot' of the Designer/tinewg here: http://euphoria.indonesianet.de/source.zip
(btw: the designer is in an 'unusable state' in this archive)
