    Windows Desktop question...

    i know it's possible to have an html file as the background for your desktop


    but is it at all possible to have a dynamic site (php) pulled from the web, that actually can function as the background of your desktop?

    i was thinking it'd be really cool to create a nice GUI fitting for the resolution (1600x1200 in my case) where you could code it to check stats and other useful information.

    i doubt this is a possibility but figured it'd be worth asking anyhow.

    never really looked into this, but
    if you can have an html page... iframe the external site.
