Yes that would be one way.  I've thought about doing something similar by
capturing the window at various times of the day and saving all to separate
files and then using a macro to update the wallpaper every so often.  I was
wondering if there was a way to capture the screen of a program or place
the screen window of a program in a more *live* way an active desktop live
kind of way.

Thanks,

Gary
