This small program was made because I was inspired by a thread in 
the GameDev.net's forum about how to draw on the desktop without 
hiding the icons. Nobody in the thread knew exactly how to do this,
including me, so I decided to try and figure it out. This program
is the result.

This program requires DirectX 7 or later to be installed, and it
requires a video accelerator capable of showing overlay surfaces
using destination color-keying. 

The source code is available for download on my site www.AngelCode.com,
and can be used freely for educational purposes and non-commercial 
products.
