is it possible to make the background to a program invisible so for example with this clock program:
sync on
set window on
set text size 20
set window title "Circle Clock - Matt Hollands"
do
cls
time$=get time$()
seconds$=right$(time$,2)
minutes$=right$(time$,5)
minutes$=left$(minutes$,2)
hours$=left$(time$,2)
gosub draw_final
gosub draw_seconds
gosub draw_minutes
gosub draw_hours
ink rgb(0,0,255),0
center text (screen width()/2),screen height()/2-seconds#,seconds$
ink rgb(0,255,255),0
center text (screen width()/2)-minutes#,screen height()/2,minutes$
ink rgb(255,0,255),0
center text (screen width()/2)+hours#,screen height()/2,hours$
sync
loop
draw_seconds:
ink rgb(255,255,255),0
secondstemp#=val(seconds$)*3
if seconds#<secondstemp# then inc seconds#,1
if seconds#>secondstemp# then inc seconds#,-6
circle screen width()/2,screen height()/2,seconds#-1
circle screen width()/2,screen height()/2,seconds#
return
draw_minutes:
ink rgb(255,0,0),0
minutestemp#=val(minutes$)*3
if minutes#<minutestemp# then inc minutes#,1
if minutes#>minutestemp# then inc minutes#,-6
circle screen width()/2,screen height()/2,minutes#-1
circle screen width()/2,screen height()/2,minutes#
return
draw_hours:
ink rgb(0,255,0),0
hourstemp#=val(hours$)*(7.5)-1
if hours#<hourstemp# then inc hours#,1
if minutes#>minutestemp# then inc minutes#,-6
circle screen width()/2,screen height()/2,hours#-1
circle screen width()/2,screen height()/2,hours#
return
draw_final:
ink rgb(120,120,120),0
circle screen width()/2,screen height()/2,178
circle screen width()/2,screen height()/2,177
return
all the black bit in the background would be invisible. I suspect I cannot do this but it would be very useful.
cheers,,,
