Background refresh possible?

Hey, i really like the FastDial Addon but there is one thing it would be really nice to have.
Is it possible to refresh the Background every.. 100Msecs?
I want to set my Desktop as background for Fastdial. So i have to refresh that Background everytime.
Is that possible?
Greetings

I have been looking at some videos of her, but could not find that one...

question...
I have been watching videos running in desktop, through a transparent fast dial, with Pitashcio.
And then I think would it not be great if I could control the video just by clicking on it through the transparency. (for example like with your app)
And then I think, how will the application be able to know if you are clicking on something on the fast dial page or on the desktop ??

Of course it is easy if each click is for the desktop only.
what if you are clicking on Fast Dial ?
Or to me more specific what if the click is both on a fast dial cell and an app in the background at the same time...
how will the poor app know what you want to do ??

Not very good picture
I am clicking on both a Fast Dial Cell and on an App in the background.
How does your app know if you mean to click on Fast Dial or on the App in the background ?
double-click for desktop (for example) ??

Submitted by tsuyo on Fri, 04/09/2010 - 15:59I could do, but.. Why would i have to? I minimized the Application Ramspecs from 40 down to 14mB. Maybe i try it out in some days. But not today and not tomorrow.

I was just curious...
I am sure you will find a way.... :-)
Once you start using the app in a real situation. you will work out what is comfortable/practical to you...
