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 Pitaschio running.
I click Manage Windows and then bottom right Transparent.
And well Fast Dial goes immediately transparent !
But how do you vary the level of transparency.
There is a figure of 100, but it seems impossible to change.
Advice please

thanks have got there...
many thanks for your help.
My impression is that pitaschio is not web page specific, but windows application specific, which is a bit of a disappointment.
However I see that whatever page one is on in a windows application, one can just go to the title bar and toggle the transparency of the page.
This is very useful...
Thanks for your help with this...
For anyone wanting an explanation as to how to use the transparency setting in Pitaschio, I have put a draft tutorial together here

To show that with Pitaschio one can make any windows application page transparent.
Thought it might interest you.
Thanks for your new picture.
What has happened to the Logos now, they seem very bunched together now.
How many icons can you see now ?
If the Fast Dial cells were a more transparent one could see the icons hiding behind ?
Anyhow well done to have managed to make all you icons appear
I am curious to know if you understand how pitaschio is able to create transparency seemingly with no difficulty, it seems a shame that one cannot achieve such results easily with css.
Do you understand why this is ?

Not just the Window. Also a Place if firefox is coded valid

Apologies this was my error.
It is simply that the white document in the background upsets visually the separation of the logos as there is no dark colour between them.
Please don't worry about that... :-)

Not sure I understand you.
Especially if Firefox is coded valid...
