Can I draw a line (or better any polygon) directly on screen?

Or capture an image of the two stacks and make a substack with this image
with no decorations. Position it exactly over the original stacks. This will
make the fake _look_ like the two stacks.

Either way should work.

Then just animate the mousemove/control connecting line.

When finished, just hide the "fake" windows substack.

BTW, what do polygons have to do with your query?

HTH,
