How to show a website as a wallpaper in Windows 10?

Viewed 6504

is there a way to show a webpage on the windows 10 desktop (as a wallpaper, not in the browser)? I'd like to show an URL to google calendar on the background.

I have no idea to get this done. (Is it configurable? Is there a solution in Python 3, c# or elsewhat?)

the easy solution:

Install this: http://www.stefanbion.de/htmlwindow/

and add a link to the desktop with this target:

C:\HtmlWindow\HtmlWindow.exe "Kalender" "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/r" 3600

The not so easy solution:

Install selenium: pip install selenium

Download the geckodriver from https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases and put it somewhere in your path.

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path='C:\ImPfad\geckodriver.exe')
driver.get(r"https://www.google.de/") 
driver.save_screenshot(r"C:\Users\Me\Desktop\Kalender.png")
driver.quit()

(tested)

But there is an open issue: When the page need credentials (login, password), you have still a problem.
