Turing Help Needed Please (Quicker The Better)

What is it you are trying to achieve?
Hello members,
I got an assignment a week ago to make a hangman game and I've finished it BUT the GUI buttons look REALLY REALLY BAD.
First of all, the square shape is just bad, ontop of that, the colour is even worse. I know you can change the colour but I still don't
like it... We can't use mousewhere by the way.

Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
Im trying to solve this problem by putting a picture ONTOP of the GUI buttons so first there are 26 GUI buttons in the QWERTY layout and
above that is a picture of a keyboard. Everything is aligned and works seamlessly but my teacher doesn't like it .

The problem is, when you click, for example 'Q' on the picture but you are actually clicking the GUI buttons, the GUI buttons pops up behind
it which makes it look bad. Is there a way to hide the GUI buttons and disable it's picture popups? (Seems impossible to me) Or any solution
to this?

I know, I know, this is confusing... Let me explain better:
You have 1 GUI button.
Ontop of that, you have a picture.
You clicked the picture and it activates the GUI buttons (Its supposed to do that)
However when you click or hold the button it show the GUI button behind the picture...
I don't like that...
Any solutions?

Turing:

%Code looks like this import GUI var button : int button := (0, 0, 30, "Q", buttoncheck, 20, 'q', true) var pic:= Pic.FileNew ("keyboard.bmp") Pic.Draw (pic, 150, 70, picMerge) %Again, the picture is not the problem loop end loop

The problem is that the clicked button is drawn over your picture. Here's an idea of how to fix this (very rough code, but it works).

Turing:

import GUI View.Set("offscreenonly") % I'm just creating a picture since I don't have your keyboard picture Draw.FillBox (150, 70, 200, 100, 10) var pic : int := Pic.New (150, 70, 200, 100) cls proc buttoncheck ()     Pic.Draw (pic, 50, 50, picCopy) % Redraw button     Draw.Box (0, 0, maxx, maxy, 12) % Give feedback that button was pressed     View.Update()     GUI.Quit() end buttoncheck var button : int button := GUI.CreateButtonFull (50, 50, 30, "Q", buttoncheck, 20, 'q', true) Pic.Draw (pic, 50, 50, picCopy) View.Update() loop     exit when GUI.ProcessEvent end loop

Basically I'm setting the view to "offscreenonly" mode to avoid having a button showing up for a split second before I hide it again.

EDIT: Just in case you aren't familiar with the "offscreenonly" behavior, here's a quick tutorial http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?t=12533
