What I'm trying to accomblish here is run a very simple jQuery script inside my Windows 7 desktop background.
Some time ago I would just go on and use the Active Desktop gadget which would allow me to set any web page as my desktop background just by configuring it with the web page's URL. Unfortunately Microsoft has discontinued gadgets: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/gadgets, so what would be a good way to run a jQuery script (which changes the background color based on the current time) or a simple HTML page containing that script?
Edit: This is how I would do it some time ago: http://www.bustatech.com/display-a-webpage-on-desktop-window-vista-and-window-7/
