Hi,
I want to make a program for !ME! ;-), which would remind me about various things or gives me some info. But I;m not good with 2D
1. I want to have this program pop upping when for example there will be time for something. But I want him pop upping even if I'm watching video or playing game, but in the way that don't stop playing or watching even on full screen if is possible (I want it showing in the corner with message or info and then hide). It will be good if source code would be compiled with no problems both on Windows and Linux. But is this possible? Even partly (for example just on windows and just if the program or game is on window mode)? Should be - winamp shows info about songs without switching programs, but it doesn't work when program is on full screen mode. And I also want to make him with his own buttons and frames - not looking like operating system window with cross in top right and etc.
What graphic library I should be interested in to make my program working like I want and like I described? (in C++, or Java or Python).
2. Not graphic question: Can I some how bind a key for my program so the program will do something when it is not selected?
I hope I'm clear enough. Thanks for any help.
My program on top no matter what.

You could use Java for this which would run on Windows or Linux. The code here is what you are after: How to keep a frame/dialog always on top?

Thanks. Java is enough. But there came one more question. such possibilities are common in libraries? It's nothing special? It could be also in gtk for example?

I'm not sure but I assume it is common enough. If anything, you could always just refocus your application/form so that it is always on top.
