How to Set Wallpaper as Background in VS 2005 IDE

Question

Is there a way we can set an Image instead of plain colors as VS 2005 IDE Background

Answer 1

I use the SlickEdit free gadgets to render an image for my workspace background.

Answer 2

Looks like you're going to have to write your own add-in, since this doesn't seem to be a very popular request.

Here's how to do it in VS2003: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/macros/VSWallpaper.aspx

Here's the SDK for VS2005: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=51A5C65B-C020-4E08-8AC0-3EB9C06996F4&displaylang=en

There are lots of docs and other sample add-ins in the SDK.
