would there be a way to set the program to draw to the actual desktop instead of the default run window? id imagine it would be something like: drawfillbox : "desktop" (x,y,x,y,col) or something, but i cant figure it out or find it anywhere |

You can't actually draw to "desktop", it's always contained within the application. Some can have transparent backgrounds, but Turing can't. The next best thing is to grab the wallpaper image, draw to that, and set it as a new wallpaper, but that requires OS access and Turing can't do that either. |

No, you can't do that in Turing. You'd need to use a better language such as C#, or c++ |
