In C++? I foresee ugliness in the future.
Why not just use that goofy active desktop thing that windows has, and set the desktop to a web-page (one that you make) so you can toss in some cool javascript and what not?

well actually what I really want to do is to write windows version of a linux/unix based app called 'conky'. with conky you can write any kind of data (even some graphs) on the wall paper. here is an example screenshot
