Background

I saw in the FAQ that you were looking for a way to put the program in the desktop background, but havn't been able to find a way to do so. I've worked on a Divx player in the past that did this, it's a little difficult, but not impossible, if you have any questions, or would like some sample code on how to do it, let me know..

Well, the Aquarium and Divxes and things like that can be in a full-screen window. The only problem is you can't have icons floating on it.

I see my desktop maybe twice a week. Otherwise it's covered with windows so it's of little use to me.

You can, it's just not as easy, as you have to replicate the desktop on top of your program when it is in "desktop mode"
