    1. Type your timetable out in word.
    2. Make a screenshot.
    3. Center & Decorate it in paint.
    4. Set it as your background.

    Something like that? Or do you wish to have a dynamic wallpaper?

    what s/w do you use to manage your schedule now? Outlook? Time&Chaos? Act!? Google Calendar? Lotus Notes? ???

    The first step is to ident where your data resides. Then you can ident what kind of output you can generate. Then you can ident how that output can be reformatted for your needs (wallpaper).

    have you thought of using a sidebar gadget?
