To make a wxPython application transparent, you need to make the Frame itself transparent. Which you found out in that tutorial I wrote a while back. Images are a little different.
There are examples in the demo and in the wxPython mailing list archives though. See also wxPython - drawing on transparent/alpha background (for custom widgets/panels) and http://wiki.wxpython.org/WorkingWithImages.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
