WPInfo
WPInfo displays system information on the Windows wallpaper. It works similarly to BGInfo from SysInternals but it adds a few unique features:
- Picks the background image most appropriate for the current screen resolution from a configured folder.
- Overlays any number of additional images on the background (great to display a logo without stretching it).
- Configurable text box can be displayed below the information text.
- Supports image formats handled by the .Net framework, including 32bpp PNGs with an alpha channel (great for shadows).
- Plain XML configuration files.
- You have access to the c# source code!
The authors have (independently) successfully used WPInfo on Windows XP SP3, Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit) and Windows 8.1 (64 bit).
