I like these effects. Could you produce a small application to include different sized squares, circles etc and an option to change colours. Or maybe start off with an image, select areas and paint with them?
Oh interesting. You are thinking about this as a painting program. That's a cool idea. I have another demo I am developing to showcase the engine's mouse input -- with respect to game character control (but funny enough, this window system itself already showcases the mouse, as a GUI!) My idea was a simple ball bouncing game. But I could try a paint system -- though it's getting away from my goal for game-style control. I'll keep this in mind though, thanks!
Hmm. These effects are very similar to the classic paint programs where you could choose a "stamp" (a small image), and when you dragged the mouse around, instead of drawing a line of various thickness/color, it would draw the stamp over and over again.

Go on. Go make your own Windowing system.
I'm trying! :P It really feels like it needs resize corners and X buttons to close them.
