Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone of you ever saw applications like YahooWidgets or AveDesk that show nice per pixel alpha blended windows, hardware accalerated animations, etc. ..
I'm wondering how they do this... are they using DirectX for drawing or what are they doing I'd really appreciate it if someone could give me a few hints to get started.
Thanks,
Tom
