Org-agenda + conky integration?
You can see here some concrete example of what I am talking about. While it is not so visible from the screenshots, the background is actually desktop background visible through the transparent frame background, and the clocks are rendered by Emacs.

Interactively hide/display leading stars for org-headings
Actually one could it better and use invisible "spacer", as I did in the example with "desktop widgets" with the transparency patch, but it would be a project for another day :).

Emacs is new Conky!
Yes, of course. I didn't had time to prepare repo in GH yesterday, but I just pushed it.

New Emacs frame parameter for transparency
Hi all. Just wanted to let everyone know that in January of this year Emacs introduced a new frame parameter: alpha-background. I wrote a little about it here: True Emacs Transparency. To my knowledge, this originated from a patch by Håkon Flatval in November of last year.

Two desktop clocks a lá Conky with Emacs
It was just a demo to show off that Emacs can be used for that purpose. For those two particular widgets, you will need Emacs with transparency patch applied, or you could create similar "widgets" that use opaque background for use with Emacs without that patch.

Emacs is new Conky!
Thanks to TheVaffels alpha-background patch, it is possible to write small widgets and show them in transparent windows a lá Conky style.
