Desktop graphics - or “skinned” windows

Question

I\'m looking for a way to draw animations right on the desktop. No window frames and with transparent background.

I\'m using Python in windows XP for it, but it does

Answer 1

If you want a frameless window, there are several options. For example, pygame can be initialized with the following flag:

pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode(size=(640,480), pygame.NOFRAME)

Your question doesn't make it clear if you're looking for a transparent surface, though.
