Is that called shell programming?
There are programs like rainmeter, classicshell
Are those shell alteration programs?
And the technique they use is called shell programming.
How come I didn't find much information/books about this topic where I can learn to
program the desktop?
Thanks
Jack

What you're looking for is a "shell replacement".

Search for GUI programming?

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved" - Romans 10:9
