Programming of interactive desktop background
-
Hi folks. I need a little inspiration. I want to program a Windows program that can display a calendar in the desktop background. It should be possible to interact with this calendar (add appointments etc). I know there are other programs that do this very well (eg. Active Desktop Calendar http://www.xemico.com/adc/) but my program must have some other features than the alternatives currently on the market. I plan to make it an open source project. My biggest problem is how to go about it grapples with creating an interactive desktop background? Anyone who has tried it or have experience with something similar? Possibly a link to some guides, or some API names that I should look at? I have experience in C #, C + +, C, Java, Visual Basic. But I am also willing to look at another programming language if it can solve my problem in a better way. I'm not looking for a sidebar solution. Hope you can help.
