It sounds to me like you're talking about screen savers that draw on the
"desktop". I put that in quotes because they don't really draw there; they
capture the screen, put it on a form, and then draw on that.
As for making a window truly transparent: It is possible with an API
call or two (or with a UserControl in VB5, a property), but you can't
display graphics methods on it that way.
