It actually draws behind the icons so if it's using transparency, it's doing it pretty damn efficiently :P

I suppose it 'might' be possible it's creating and setting an image for every frame, however even as slow as the visualization is, I can't see the putt-putt computer i'm on right now performing a process like that as quick as it is.

I'll look around the wx forums, maybe they have done something similar.


What would happen if you drew all over your user's desktop then your program crashed? ;)



To be honest it's just something I want to play with personally on my non existant spare time. No plans to use it in any projects or anything.
