on Win32, you can get the DC of the desktop itself and draw to it via GDI, and there are some api calls to hide the taskbar. But id just use the ChangeDisplaySettings() api call instead, since it does essentialy the same thing ;)

look here (Win32 only): http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=63443#708289

I have no idea how to do something similar on other platforms :/
