What is "Transdesk" please?
(I googled it and didn't come up with anything that made sense.)

dmd7978:
this would probably do it (but I havent seriously tried it so cannot say for sure)
Splinter

IF it is PRE created text that you want to appear on screen, then yes, Splinter can do this easily. And the text can be hotlinked in various ways.
Below is the initial reply

Hi, Tomos. Actually,no, Splinter will not do this. Splinter is a hotlinker, "basically". But thanks for the name drop :)

I believe "Mouser"(I think that is his name. The "big dog" around these parts) has an app called desktop info that does the bginfo stuff, and is very customizable.

If you mean more like a transparent command window/shell, I have never seen a fully transparent one for Windows. I have only ever had one on a linux box. I have looked many places and would love to find one, if you come across. (I assume you mean FULLY transparent window as well as bar and just the text typed showing?)

Splinter seems complicated and you have to prepared to understand well. In a first glance I don't see the option....

SORRY IF THIS IS INAPPROPRIATE REPLY. I AM NOT TRYING TO SPAM A COMPLETELY SEPARATE THREAD, JUST WANTED TO "CLEAR" UP A COMMENT ABOUT MY APP. PLEASE DELETE IF BAD PRACTICE.

This is a misconception due to my difficulty in conveying its ease of use. There are only 7 script commands. And the rest is done by dragging and dropping imagery and then shortcuts onto the images. That is it. Splinter does not "do" anything else. Almost too easy.

I am trying to make some decent documentation, based on the "Robo search" or something app by Mouser, as it is very well detailed. But if you would like something, anything specific, tutorial related, at any time, happy to do.

I have found another one trying other things :

Frameless transparent rectangles can easily be done with atnotes.
