I am in desperate need of an executable file that will display a .png with alpha transparency fullscreen with no window/border while running a video application beneath it which can then be closed with a keystroke combination. I tried using HTA but it won't offer me either of these features. Any ideas?

Create popup window.
Create and load bitmap.
For example monochrome:

0001100
0011110
0111110
0111110

So you must line by line create rectangle region with pixel = 1 and combine with main region (CombineRgn ).

After use function SetWindowRgn
