    preview desktop question


    so I'm running a program called rainlendar that keeps a calendar and my to-do items:

    Rainlendar - Home

    ideally, I would like this program to sustain when I hover over the preview desktop button, so that I can check my calendar by doing so

    the program currently doesn't render properly in vista or windows 7 when I set it to always be on the desktop and I have no idea when the developers may fix this

    is there a way to customize preview desktop so that it does not hide this application?

    Hi Fox,
    and welcome to the Seven Forums

    Unfortunately at the moment the only way I know to do what you want is to package the application as a desktop gadget. This would I'm afraid be something for the developer to do but if they are not supporting Vista yet I fear it may be a long time

Preview Desktop not working?

Hello all... I see there's an option "Preview Desktop" checked on the bottom right little bar on my taskbar, and I read somewhere that if you hover your mouse over that bar, you can "preview" the desktop without actually showing it (minimizing all windows). This doesn't work on my Windows 7...
