I want to make a tool that extends the guides on miniclip 8 ball pool, but I'm having trouble finding an ide that allows transparency 8-bit transparency to the degree that I want.
I want to be able to draw lines and shapes on the screen without being bounded by a window. If bounded by a window I'd need to be able to have it stay on top and be able to click through to the window below.
I started using winforms as it allows transparent forms, but only allows opaque lines and shapes.
Where should I start with this project?
I don't think you understand how windowing managers work. For this to work you would have to have a transparent window that grabs screen focus but can send events at mouse position to the window behind it. It's not impossible. But it would potentially be very buggy and hard to code.

When testing out in winforms I used this https://stackoverflow.com/a/34703664 method to have the graphics stay on top, it worked for the most part.
Keeping the focus was the only problem I had

Right now I'm just looking for an ide that will allow me to draw graphics on a transparent window easily.
